217 Deasys Road, Pokolbin NSW 2320

A good country property starts with a few things you can't easily change: the location, the land, the water and the outlook. Silverpoint has them all, together with a deceptively large cedar home that is ready to enjoy and is the perfect canvas for some cosmetic changes.

Set on approximately 32 acres in the heart of Pokolbin, the property enjoys beautiful views from the Brokenback ranges to the Barrington ranges. Literally surrounded by some of the Hunter's most impressive country estates, vineyards and world-class restaurants and concert venues, it is also just a few kilometres away from The Vintage golf course.

The land is mostly level to gently undulating, usable and manageable, with partially improved pasture and fencing into three paddocks. Two dams and an irrigation allocation provide a strong water supply, while a large machinery shed and tar-sealed road frontage add to the practical appeal.

Privately positioned on the property, the cedar home has recently been refreshed and presents very neatly. Vaulted timber-lined ceilings, a combustion fireplace and a broad wraparound verandah give it the warmth and character you want in a country home. You could comfortably enjoy it as it stands, or undertake the Pintrest-style cosmetic makeover you have always dreamed of.

The original home offers an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, four bedrooms including a large loft, air conditioning and ceiling fans. A substantial extension can be separated from the original residence and includes another living and dining area, a generous main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe, a north-facing deck, a second bedroom or office, a large laundry and breezeway, and a wine cellar.

That flexibility makes it well suited to a weekend home shared with family and friends. There is space to come together and room to have your own space, whether you are hosting another family or accommodating different generations. The property has also been used successfully for short-term holiday letting, offering an established way to earn income between your own stays. Further rural and tourism opportunities may be explored under its RU4 zoning, subject to council approval.

There is something enduring about having a country place in the family. Children grow up visiting it, favourite weekends become annual traditions, and over time it becomes somewhere everyone knows and returns to. Here, that could mean summers on the deck, winters around the fire and a few days away from the pace of the city.

For buyers who have been considering a Hunter Valley retreat, Silverpoint is a good reason to take the next step. The essentials are already here, the home is ready to use, and the opportunity is to improve it at your own pace—with years of enjoyment ahead.
