“ACREAGE LIFESTYLE FROM AWARD-WINNING ARCHITECT – Cruise along the windy, tree-lined Wollombi Road to arrive at a quiet oasis that’s shrouded by tall Ghost Gums and bordered by lush, open space. A gravel drive provides access to the oversized four-bay shed and a wide, stamped concrete path that leads to the home’s stunning undercover entrance.
The front deck, lit by external wall lanterns, holds a bespoke solid timber door that’s framed by glass and sheltered by a high, pitched ceiling. Enter the home to find the bright, natural aesthetic of the home’s upper level. Thoughtfully designed to provide both distance and privacy, this first level is dedicated to sleeping and relaxation quarters, housing four bedrooms, two private decks, and a dedicated main bathroom with separate powder room across the hall.
The master suite commands the centre of the level, providing a private retreat for parents or hosts with its large, carpeted floorplan, expansive walk-in robe, and tiled ensuite. Ambient light floods the space through the glass doors of the private deck, which extends to the north of the space to provide a platform for enjoying the morning sunrise while ensuring that the room isn’t overwhelmed with direct light.
Bedrooms two and three sit to the right of the master, offering carpets underfoot, built-ins, downlights, and ceiling fans. Both spaces are afforded premium views of the surrounding rural land and direct access to a shared deck.
The bright main bathroom sits to the south, and its crisp tilework, dual floor-to-ceiling windows, dedicated shower, deep spa bath, and stone-topped vanity all work to create a sleek, modern space that is both functional and aesthetic.
A fourth bedroom lies to the west, providing a unique, loft design which is sure to be a hit with the kids, with carpets underfoot, minimalistic downlighting, and windows to the north and south that bathe the space in ambient light.
Head downstairs and traverse the glass-lined hallway with Architectural Cedar feature trusses and vaulted ceilings to enter the home’s open-plan lower level, which provides two living spaces, a kitchen and dining space, a powder room, and a stunning deck with a bespoke, curved timber railing.
A set of timber-framed French doors open to a vast living area that’s bathed with natural light and flanked by nature through its surrounding glass sliding doors and windows. Carpets underfoot, Architectural Cedar feature trusses and vaulted ceilings overhead and a combustion fireplace create a space that feels both expansive and cosy, making it perfect for hosting the whole family or for enjoying a quiet drink by the fire on a stormy evening.
The central kitchen sits on polished Brushbox timber floorboards, with a traditional, panel-and-timber design that benefits from modern touches. Stainless steel appliances, a recessed fridge space, a large walk-in pantry, and a sheltered countertop with a tiled splashback all work to make cooking a breeze, while the open-plan design and central location will make time in the kitchen a social affair.
A dining space sits beside the kitchen, sitting on the same easy-clean timber floorboards while offering front-row seats of the surrounding expanse, and a separate family room provides a second living area that’s spoiled by more of the same leafy views.
The outdoor entertaining area is large and open, yet the thoughtful design works to create separate spaces that each feel both connected and private. The views of the gently sloping vista are unparalleled, and will likely have you feeling as though you’re in a private rural retreat that’s hours from work and obligations.
Despite the feelings of blissful seclusion, 304 Wollombi Road is just 5 minutes from the local shops and only 10 from the urban centre of Maitland, plus it benefits from modern digital connectivity access, so you can enjoy a rare blend of complete privacy without isolation.
Stockland Green Hills and the new Maitland Hospital are just a 15-minute drive from home, and it’s just 20 minutes to both historic Morpeth and the front door to Australia’s oldest wine region, granting residents a huge list of both amenities and activities to choose from.
Getting into Newcastle will take just 45 minutes along the A43, serving up a beautiful CBD, a huge list of shopping and dining experiences, along with some of the country’s best beaches. Sydney CBD and Airport can both be accessed in just over two hours southbound on the M1 Pacific Motorway.
Not many builds could capitalise so effectively on such a gorgeous block of land, but 304 Wollombi Road’s masterful design perfectly complements the natural surroundings, and its premium location will surely serve one lucky buyer with an enviable lifestyle for years to come.”
