The bees are busy in the cottage garden, pizza oven roaring, a chilled glass of the Hunter's finest in your hand and the final rays of the sun make shine over a boutique vineyard and olive grove. This is any spring evening at DigFood Farm - a 25 acre parcel in the picturesque Hunter Valley with a beautifully renovated farmhouse and a barn set in its own veggie garden complete with chicken coop, potting shed and orchard.
As you arrive, the weeping willow sways in the breeze over the front dam and the olive grove and vineyard guide you to the farmhouse which offers wide covered verandas and spectacular views to the Watagan Range. A huge open living space is bookended by a sandstone fireplace at one end and a brand new kitchen at the other and plenty of large windows and doors offer stunning views year-round and open in the warmer months to integrate the internal and external living spaces. The kitchen overlooks the grounds, offers stone tops and a 900mm wide cooker.
A huge main bedroom with its own retreat and beautifully renovated ensuite adds to the two other bedrooms which share yet another renovated bathroom with beautiful clawfoot bath. The entire property is kept comfortable year-round by reverse-cycle air-conditioning and a crackling wood-burning fireplace.
Outside, a beautiful new barn with stunning gardens and leadlight windows offers so much potential and a coolroom and fireplace only add to its appeal. A fully sustainable vegetable garden with stone and citrus fruit orchard incorporate a potting shed, chicken coop and is fenced to keep the native wildlife out.
In the beating heart of Wine Country and surrounded by guesthouses, restaurants and vineyards, the property is also only 45 minutes from the sandy beaches of Newcastle and two hours from the CBD of Sydney.
Inspection by private appointment.
