COTTONVALE NSW 4375

It is hard to go past reflecting on the past with such a picturesque property that grants abundance, this well-designed modern homestead and its purposeful outbuildings are comfortable and well-equipped and pose a ton of potential, whether you're seeking a country retreat to call home or planning to explore tourism opportunities in the spectacular Granite Belt region.

Positioned at the start of the Wine and Food Trail, this elevated 20-acre landholding has infrastructure for livestock and is suitable for wine growing, apples, citrus, berries and lavender. Having exceptional exposure due to 3-road frontages, the possibilities are endless, and yours to discover.

Opportunities to consider could include a wedding venue, a cellar door tasting experience, farm gate produce, bed and breakfast, caravan or glamping accommodation. The circular driveway continues around a stunning Claret Ash tree and rose gardens, with covered portico parking for guests to alight.

The insulated, heated homestead has a choice of living areas with rich timber joinery features, a media and sunroom and a wraparound, northeast-facing indoor/outdoor area with bar style serveries and barbeque facilities boasting a commercial-grade rangehood.

Large windows swing outward in the warmer months to reveal views of the gardens, function terrace and the large-scale Mediterranean-inspired alfresco and entertainment pavilion with its brick fireplace, arbour-style roof and integrated bench seating.

Bifold windows and French doors connect the kitchen, dining and living areas with this semi-outdoor room. Gas cooking, stone benchtops and loads of storage within the kitchen provide plenty of functionality, whether cooking for family or entertaining guests.

All three bedrooms are air-conditioned, spacious and either have ensuite amenities or access to a 2-way bathroom. There is a separate entryway in this section of the house making the large third bedroom ideal for staying guests, office or studio use.

Outside is a 3-bay steel garage/shed with remote-operated doors and a concreted driveway apron plus a high clearance carport with a drive-through ideal for caravans, motorhomes, horse float parking etc. Between these structures is a third bathroom providing convenient ensuite-style amenities. Those with large vehicles or trailers will appreciate the easy turnaround and reversing areas.

Situated on the property is a dam, a bore with a pump and six rainwater tanks totalling approximately 106,000 litres that offer underground irrigation to gardens and filtered water into the house itself. There is a fenced house yard that is safe and secure for dogs and children.
