“RIVERFRONT RETREAT – Whether you’re seeking a luxurious treechange lifestyle, a peaceful rural weekender or a productive farm for agricultural pursuits, this magnificent Woodville property is sure to fit the bill.
Featuring nine fertile acres perfect for growing lucerne and absolute Paterson River frontage with water pumping rights, this picturesque property represents the quintessential rural proposition.
Already divided into six secure paddocks with new fencing and automatic water troughs, the property is currently being used as an alpaca stud but would be equally suited to horses, a hobby farm or a few head of cattle.
Existing infrastructure adds to its versatility, with three large, open horse stables / paddock shelters with awnings, a spacious barn for farm machinery and equipment storage, as well as a large chicken coop and brooding boxes for farm-fresh eggs.
A covered vegetable garden will appeal to those looking to become self-sustainable, while a steel-framed, uncovered greenhouse offers more space for those green-thumbed occupants to potter around with their plants.
Four 22,500L rainwater tanks plus an additional 40,000L underground tank identified by a decorative well, provide abundant water storage options, while river water pumping rights for both domestic and stock use will provide added peace of mind in times of drought.
The potential offered by the bucolic landscape is far from the property’s only attraction, with a magnificent five-bedroom home offering a luxury escape for the whole family.
Known as “”Leeholme””, the impressive residence was built in the 1920s and features a double brick construction that provides solid foundations and added insulation.
An expansive layout caters for the largest of families, with king and queen-sized bedrooms, four stylish bathrooms including two ensuites, and three separate internal living areas.
The master suite offers a true parents’ retreat with plenty of room to create your own private sitting area, a large, luxurious ensuite and both built-in and walk-in wardrobes.
The main bathroom has a family-friendly three-way design, with stunning heritage-style feature floor tiling, as well as a massive farmhouse-style vanity with sleek stone benchtop, traditional profiled cabinetry and decorative vintage-look handles.
The same stylish white cabinetry gives the gourmet kitchen a modern country ambience, complemented by the white subway tiled splashback and stunning 40mm stone benchtops, while deep grey panelled cabinetry ensures the central island bench is an eye-catching feature.
You’ll be impressed by the Falcon Classic Deluxe 110cm dual fuel cooker with rangehood, which adds a touch of luxury to the kitchen’s traditional elements, while the sheer amount of storage space is hard to match, including a wall of built-in pantry cupboards and a long bank of cabinetry underneath a wall of four double sash windows.
Located at the heart of the home, the kitchen provides external access to the wraparound verandah and direct entry into the adjoining light-filled breakfast room, which leads through to the well-appointed laundry.
Additional entertaining options are also available in the expansive open plan dining and living area, which provides a stunning space where your family can gather around the cosy slow combustion wood fire, which is one of three lovely fireplaces throughout the house.
This central living area is also ideal for entertaining, with a wall of sliding glass doors perfectly framing the panoramic farmland view while also creating a seamless connection with the wide covered timber deck, which completely wraps around this living space with two additional access points on either side of the room.
Fringed with vines for a touch of traditional country charm, the elevated deck makes the most of the outlook over the surrounding farmland, while also offering the ideal spot to sit and watch the children play in the nearby inground saltwater swimming pool.
A long list of premium extras add to this home’s luxurious finish while stunning original features such as nine foot ceilings with detailed cornices and ceiling roses, as well as beautifully restored and limewashed timber floorboards, pay homage to its heritage.
The external inclusions are just as impressive, including a huge detached four-bay Colorbond shed with an additional two-bay art or storage room, and a stylish self-contained studio or guest accommodation known as ‘The Lodge’.
Extensive gardens, hedges and landscaping including established seasonal feature trees complete this picture-perfect property, which is ideally located in tranquil rural surrounds minutes from Maitland’s bustling city centre and only two hours from Sydney.”
