In the Hunter Valley, exceptional properties are distinguished by a harmonious blend of location, elevation, architecture, and land. This extraordinary Wine Country estate exemplifies these qualities, offering a rare opportunity in one of Pokolbin’s most sought-after areas.

Perched above the surrounding vineyards and rolling countryside, the property boasts expansive views over vine-covered hills stretching to the Brokenback, Watagan, and Barrington Ranges. Despite its grandeur and scale, the estate remains conveniently accessible, situated less than two hours from Sydney, about an hour from Newcastle, and within walking distance to local cellar doors, restaurants, and renowned Hunter Valley food and wine experiences.

Access is granted through grand entrance gates leading to a concrete driveway lined with mature pear trees, passing by a unique architectural feature known as ‘The Bunker’ before reaching the main residence. The arrival experience is impressive, but the true architectural excellence is revealed inside the home.

The residence is designed to integrate seamlessly with the landscape, maximizing the breathtaking views. It features soaring ceilings, marble flooring, generous room proportions, abundant natural light, and dramatic outlooks in every direction. Large plate glass windows and multiple Velux skylights create an airy, open atmosphere, giving the impression that the main living area floats above the vineyards and hills.

The heart of the home is a vast open-plan living space centered around a wood-burning fireplace and flanked by wide covered outdoor entertaining areas. The spacious kitchen is designed for grand-scale entertaining, featuring a servery to the outdoors and a deep walk-in pantry, while maintaining the relaxed ambiance of a country estate.

Accommodation is equally impressive. The front of the home houses a grand master suite with walk-in robes, a substantial ensuite, and a private courtyard. Adjacent to the master suite are a steam room, an additional powder room, and a home office that could serve as a fifth bedroom if needed. A separate wing contains three large bedrooms opening onto covered verandahs, serviced by two full bathrooms, a laundry, and ample linen storage, providing generous space for family and guests.

Additional amenities include a home theatre and a temperature-controlled wine cellar, underscoring the property’s status as a lifestyle estate designed for comfort, entertaining, and relaxation.

Outside, the home continues to impress with broad covered entertaining areas equipped with ceiling fans, a pizza oven, and a built-in barbecue, all taking full advantage of the panoramic views. A brand-new in-ground pool and spa create one of the most spectacular pool settings in the Hunter Valley.

The land itself is a significant asset, beautifully balanced and highly functional. It includes inspired gardens, a private fruit orchard, a boutique vineyard, grazing land, abundant water resources, horse stables, cattle yards, machinery sheds, and a substantial solar power system. The property retains its original restored timber shed, a nod to its history as part of the old Pokolbin dairy in the early 1900s, adding character to this strikingly contemporary estate.

A second architectural structure further enhances the property. Designed as a brutalist, bunker-style modern building discreetly embedded into the hillside, it offers a bold and private retreat. This building features three rooms, a bathroom, a full kitchen, and a wine cellar, making it ideal for guests, family, or potential business use.

This estate is more than just a large country residence; it is a rare Hunter Valley property where every essential element is present: a prized Wine Country location, exceptional elevation, outstanding architecture, highly usable land, water access, accommodation, lifestyle infrastructure, and breathtaking views.

It stands as one of the most impressive properties to enter the Hunter Valley market in recent years.
