274 Old North Road, Pokolbin NSW 2320

Set in the heart of Hunter Valley Wine Country and surrounded by vineyards, restaurants and concert venues, this spectacular estate sprawls over some thirty acres and offers a main residential compound and two five-star villas which can be used for private guests or rented commercially as they are now. Only two hours from greater Sydney and an hour to the beaches of Newcastle, this is an amazing lifestyle change or commercial opportunity.

As you arrive, large electric gates, a sealed driveway and beautiful lighting lead you through the vineyard to the main residence with walled grounds and stunning sculptural plantings. The home is centred around a 12-meter in-ground saltwater pool and complemented by a heated spa and outdoor entertaining areas complete with built-in kitchen, pizza oven and outdoor fire. Summer is all about a glass of Semillon and a refreshing dip in the pool and the cooler months call for Shiraz by the crackling wood fire and maybe a cheeky dip in the hot spa under the stars. This really is the good life.

Open plan in design and bathed in natural light, the main living space flows from a stunning granite kitchen with Miele appliances and butler's pantry to a large dining and lounge. A temperature controlled wine-room and second living or entertainment room also features a wet bar which extends to the pool area. A massive main bedroom wing with office and master suite also offers a beautifully appointed ensuite and walk-in robe. An additional guest suite is generous in size and also offers an ensuite.

The property is kept comfortable year-round by reverse-cycle ducted air-conditioning, fans, louvred windows and wood and gas log fires. The home is filled with smart technology enabling operating of lighting, electronic devices, outdoor lighting, operation of pool, spa, spa heater and garage door by voice or mobile. It also has a complete SONOS sound system internally and externally, satellite and Apple TV, Netatmo smart weather station and secure Wi-Fi network with range extenders.

Outside, a fully equipped gym, boules court and machinery shed sit behind a boutique Shiraz and Chardonnay vineyard.

In addition to the main residence, two five-star accommodation villas provide additional guest accommodation or a strong income stream. They are both open-planned and are fully self-contained with full gourmet kitchens, European appliances, air conditioning as well as wood burning open fireplaces in both the living and bedrooms. The dining, lounge, bedroom and bathrooms all open out onto private decks with day beds and heated outdoor spas. The villas have been rated number one in their category on Tripadvisior in Hunter Valley Wine Country for the last six years and have been awarded Tripadvisor's Certificate of Excellence (Hall of Fame) for three years running.
