Property details

Listing # 1952697 | Listed on 29 April 2025

This beautiful Karaka estate has multiple income possibilities on offer with a self contained loft and massive barn with mezzanine floor, both separate from the main house,

Come up the tree-lined driveway to discover a once in a lifetime rural masterpiece, an exceptional world of pastoral grandeur, where elevated design meets the romance of country living.

Set upon 2.87ha (more or less) of prime Karaka land and executed with discerning precision, this five-bedroom family manor is plaster with cavity exterior built in 2015 by a reputable builder Shane Fisher, and is as serene as it is spectacular.

The residence is a masterclass in traditional form and modern function. At its heart, a warm and welcoming homestead-style kitchen is defined by solid oak rough sawn flooring, a scullery with wine fridge, LED lighting, double glazing throughout, UV water filtration system, integrated appliances and an eye-catching Falcon range.

French-inspired shutters customised to block external light, and "Warrington" wood-burning fireplaces with ducting and airconditioning ensure comfort all year round.

The timeless fittings add a sense of enduring elegance, while the seamless connection to a north-facing terrace and heated saltwater pool elevates daily living to resort level.

Grab the perfect drop from the wine cellar before entertaining al fresco surrounded by the breathtaking surrounds, where a pond with jetty adds a picturesque backdrop.

Upstairs, two large bedrooms share a bathroom and family media room perfect for teens. The primary suite is its own private retreat, with dual dressing rooms and an ensuite. Air conditioning throughout ensures comfort in every season, while downstairs a guest bedroom is in place alongside a family bathroom and separate WC.

The four-car concrete block garage with self-contained loft adds another layer of versatility. Ideal for the guests or extended family, it features a dressing room, kitchenette, private bathroom and views over the orchard and landscaped grounds.

Equestrian enthusiasts will note the proximity to two of the country's premier stud farms, as well as the presence of a separate barn 22M x 12M with mezzanine, large shed, two water tanks and bore supply, ensuring every utility is seamlessly integrated into the estate's thoughtful design.

Built just 12 years ago and immersed in rolling greenery, those seeking a rare rural retreat that combines grace, scale and lifestyle pedigree will appreciate this is a once-in-a-generation offering 5 paddocks on a 2.9 hectare block.
