If you've ever dreamed of weekends spent riding across open paddocks, long lunches by the pool, and evenings by a roaring stone fireplace, this handcrafted stone homestead delivers it all.

The Homestead

The residence offers four generous bedrooms, including a private master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite.

Upstairs, a second living space doubles as a teenagers' retreat or guest lounge, and a wine cellar tucked underground adds an authentic Hunter Valley touch.

An additional movable granny flat is perfect for family, friends or even an income from visitors to Wine Country.
