Description
Tucked away just minutes from Waimate on a sealed road, this quirky and character-filled weatherboard cottage offers the perfect blend of country charm and comforts. Set on a private and sheltered property with a stream meandering through, native plantings, open paddocks, and views of the Hunter Hills and surrounding farmland, this is your private oasis.
The home has been mostly updated and features a flexible layout with three bedrooms or two plus an office. The spacious master bedroom features a sunroom, double walk-in wardrobes, and a charming bay window that frames picturesque hill views. The large lounge, complete with a cosy log fire, opens to a private patio and entertaining area – the ideal spot to unwind and enjoy spectacular sunsets.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen and dining area is warmed by a traditional cold range (on wetback), and French doors open northward to let the sunshine stream in. A new hot water cylinder has recently been installed, and ceiling insulation adds to the home's year-round comfort.
The bathroom has been updated with a shower and vanity, complemented by a separate laundry with excellent storage and a separate toilet for convenience.
Outside, the property is well-equipped for lifestyle living with a range of outbuildings including bird aviaries, dog kennels, two shade houses, utility sheds, a chicken coop, a single garage, a garden shed, and a substantial 3-bay shed (2 open, one closed with an additional large open bay). The well-fenced main paddock provides room for a few sheep or a pony, while the shelter belt and established native gardens ensure peace and privacy.
