Nestled in the heart of the Oratia Valley and modelled on a traditional Italian farmhouse, this architecturally designed country estate was built to impress. Despite its size and presence, this magnificent home is perfectly proportioned and stands in complete harmony with its environment.
In the shape of a large E, this palatial 570sqm home is divided into three defined areas. The West wing presents an easy flow of informal living spaces through the kitchen, informal dining room, family room and conservatory. To one side is the billiard room, together with wet bar, cedar lined sauna and shower room to unwind after a long day.
The heart of the home comprises of a generous formal living room where the focal point is the massive open fireplace. Flanked to one side of the main living area is a cinema and library nook, the formal dining room on the adjacent side.
The four spacious bedrooms, bathrooms and study are located in the East wing. The main bedroom, formal living and family rooms open onto their individual Loggias for seamless indoor/outdoor flow.
From the informal living areas expansive hardwood decks step from the house down to the fenced pool area, set in privacy among the trees and gardens of the 1.47 hectare professionally landscaped property.
Car enthusiasts will envy the seven car garaging including the double internal access on the main level and five car garaging in the basement. Additional to the basement garage is a large room that previous owners proposed as a cinema room and separate office space.
Four fenced and watered grazing paddocks complete this impressive residence, gently sloping down to the Cochran stream.
Features are numerous and must be seen to be believed! This home has been a retreat for the current owners for the past 6 years and with retirement pending it's time to move into something smaller.
