Last Listing description (October 2019)
Situated in a prime Wollombi location, a five-minute drive from historic Wollombi village, this magnificent residence was built by a local master builder eight years ago. The house is sited on an elevated northerly position, overlooking pastures, wooded hills and a vineyard. It is perfect for fine country living.
The home has been fitted with the finest quality inclusions throughout, with no expense spared. An environmentally sustainable lifestyle is provided by many features including:
24 roof solar panels generating 26-30 Kw of power per day (supplemented by grid power when required), 5 water tanks holding a total of 90,000 litres of rainwater, maximum insulation in all walls and ceilings, extensive covered decks and louvered tinted windows, a septic system which recycles treated grey water onto the gardens.
Externally, the timber walls and decking are constructed with stained merbau timber. Upon entering the house, a large sandstone feature wall, which matches the sandstone wall in the pool enclosure, welcomes you into the main living area with its cathedral ceiling, downlights and spotted gum timber floors. The home features open plan living incorporating multiple living areas, a dining area and a top of the line kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with Corian benchtops, quality Smeg and Miele appliances, including a Billi hot and cold filtered water system. A slow combustion wood heater is strategically placed to warm the open spaces. Reverse cycle air conditioning units and ceiling fans can be found in every room. There is a large well-equipped internal laundry off the kitchen.
The master suite features a built-in robe and a stylish ensuite with double vanity basins. Bedroom 2 and 3 are of generous size, also with built-in robes. A second bathroom with separate bath, shower and separate toilet, is situated between the two bedrooms. A spacious study with ample document and book storage could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom. An additional sitting/family room adjoins the master suite and wraps around to the study area.
The outdoor living areas are superb, with stunning 180degree views to the west, north and east. The covered deck area extends around the western and northern parts of the house providing views of the surrounding trees, valley and vineyard. A large in-ground saltwater 12m swimming pool, surrounded by travertine tiles, landscaped gardens, sandstone walls, timber decking and a well-built cabana with a fridge and barbecue, cannot fail to impress.
The entire property has been built and maintained to bush fire regulations.
The house has Telstra landline phone connection, internet connection via NBN satellite and dual Foxtel satellite connection.
A double garage will accommodate cars and workshop need, with an adjacent timber storage shed.
