Overview
THE WOODS – POKOLBIN
Located in one of the most prestigious areas of the Hunter Valley, this exceptional property known as The Woods Pokolbin features a grand country homestead designed by Borne + Blue Architects, nestled within private and tranquil grounds. The location offers convenient walking access to notable local attractions including Circa 1876, The Convent Guesthouse, Pepper Tree Wines, and Tower Lodge, as well as easy strolls to Hope Estate and Roche Estate concert venues. Situated just two hours from Sydney's CBD and 45 minutes from Newcastle's beaches, this property presents a unique lifestyle opportunity or a highly successful accommodation business.
The architecture is stunning, complemented by Wisteria-lined walks, luxurious finishes, and meticulously maintained clipped hedgerows, creating a setting reminiscent of postcards and tourism advertisements. The expansive homestead comprises five bedrooms arranged across three wings, each with its own beautifully appointed bathroom. The bathrooms feature distinctive elements such as tumbled limestone floors and Italian glass mosaics, each offering a unique and breathtaking design.
The heart of the home is a contemporary Calacutta marble kitchen equipped with Sub-zero refrigeration, kickboard strip lighting, Ilve appliances, and an intelligently crafted layout. A large skylight above the kitchen island enhances the natural light throughout the space. A modern marble fireplace connects the kitchen and informal dining area, which extends to a covered entertaining space with a retractable roof. The residence also includes a spacious lounge room with a wood-burning fireplace and a charming library nook fitted with custom American Oak cabinetry.
The master suite is generously sized, featuring a king-sized bedroom, study, day-bed, and an oversized walk-in wardrobe. It offers heated limestone floors, double showers, and a large freestanding bath, creating a sanctuary-like atmosphere. Three additional spacious bedrooms share another elegant bathroom, while a guest wing includes a media room, mosaic bathroom, and a bedroom or study. The entire home benefits from reverse-cycle ducted air-conditioning, abundant natural light from numerous Velux windows and extensive glazing, and complete privacy from neighboring estates.
Outdoor amenities include a 13-metre in-ground pool, an underground wine cellar, and a gym, completing the main residence compound. Beyond the main house, there are three luxury lodgings that provide excellent income potential or ample space for guests and family. The first guest accommodation, Blackwood, is a Scandinavian-inspired retreat designed by Bourne Blue Architecture, intended for couples. It features a private plunge pool, a private jetty, and exquisite interiors with high-end finishes such as copper Brodware tapware, Pappa Sven lighting pendants, and deluxe Cosh Living soft furnishings. Its thoughtful design has garnered strong forward bookings and positive guest reviews.
The Chapel and The Folly are the other two guest houses, each offering four queen-sized bedrooms with ensuites, some including spas. They feature a serene fountain courtyard with BBQ facilities and an additional in-ground swimming pool. Both houses are equipped with ducted air-conditioning, fully appointed kitchens, and lounges with open fireplaces.
The property is further enhanced by manicured grounds, earth dams, landscaped fire pits, and a large barn with a mezzanine and bathroom, making this an exceptionally rare and comprehensive offering in the region.
