Situated on a beautiful peaceful and private parcel of land with park-like surroundings, this wonderful property is steeped in history and perfectly located on the fringe of Hunter Valley Wine Region and all its attractions. The highlight of this sprawling estate is a stunningly renovated 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom main home. There is also a second 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home which was the original homestead. Add in extensive shedding, a stable complex with a tack room along with excellent horse fencing, this is the perfect property for an extended family or add a BNB for some extra income. Maybe it is just a haven where you can live and enjoy everything that is good about rural living. The options are endless! When you arrive at the property, you are greeted by post and rail fencing and views as far as the eye can see. Set privately off the road, the original homestead is hugged by wide open verandas, a huge undercover-deck with outdoor kitchen and an entertaining studio complete with bar and open wood-burning fireplace. But it gets better! Moving further into the property we come to the main homestead which has been lovingly restored to a stunning country home. THE MAIN HOUSE With 4 bedrooms, dual living areas and split-level living, this is as good as it gets. The beautiful home has been renovated to the highest standards and is the quintessential country home. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and the beautiful master suite is complete with designer bathroom, walk in wardrobe and French doors opening onto the verandah. There is also a lovely large lounge area to enjoy also with French doors opening out to an expansive verandah. Flowing down the stairs to the lower level the house becomes open plan living at its finest. The downstairs living area boasts a combustion fire as well as opening out onto a sparkling pool with rural views as far as the eye can see! The kitchen and dining are just stunning! With a walk-in pantry and dual ovens for the chef, this home has everything you could want. THE ORIGINAL HOMESTEAD This lovely homestead has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.The living space has been opened up to provide an integrated lounge and dining space with adjoining winter reading room with a Jetmaster fireplace. Adjoining the living space is a country style kitchen with stone tops, huge walk-in pantry and an impressive 900m Falcon cooker. The kitchen opens to the large outdoor entertaining area through French Doors. There is a European laundry and two lovely bathrooms which make it a very practical home to live in. The home has three bedrooms, two with generous walk-in robes (one that doubles as a Wine Cellar) and a study with plenty of natural light. In a time where you could choose to build a home wherever you wanted, the pioneers of the area chose to site Echo East on what they considered the best parcel in all of the district. Time has brought town and conveniences closer, but the privacy and views remain uncompromised and unmatched. THE PROPERTY 75 acres of peaceful and private rural acres with stunning views are here to enjoy at your pleasure. The property is fully fenced and watered with 5 dams and open to any rural endeavours that you desire.
