Elevate your daily lifestyle with this exceptional and exquisite property in the sought-after suburb of Hovea, offering a magnificent blend of character, charm, and modern luxury. Featuring a stunning architecturally designed stone and weatherboard 4 bedroom home, a separate, self-contained cottage, and quality horse facilities - all on 9 gorgeous acres. This is luxuriant serenity, delightfully complemented by the splendour of this residence. Every corner of this unique house exudes charm and character. Polished timber floors, big, beautiful windows, a grand entrance hall, the formal lounge bathed in natural light, and wide wrap-around full-width verandas. The beating heart of this home is the country-style kitchen with its coveted gas-fired AGA range and expanse of timber cabinetry, all with a view over the lush gardens that will take your breath away. This is the spot where bread is baked, dinner is taste tested, and your favourite folk will pull up a chair and share the best stories with you over a coffee or two.
After the day is done, the family room is the ideal spot to meet for good conversations, competitive board games, or just a glass of wine and a book. The high, raked ceilings lend an air of grandeur, while the view through the expanse of windows and French doors is both grounding and inspiring. While the weather is still cool, snuggle up with the wood burner crackling and soak up the serenity. In summer, enjoy long evenings entertaining friends or family on the wide veranda with expansive views as the sun sets. Once it's really time to relax, the main suite is a consummate retreat with spectacular views, private access to the veranda, and an ensuite that rivals a 5 star resort.
There's room to grow and breathe here, but even when guests arrive, you don't have to share.
