ONE of Maitland's premier acreage estates is home to this two-year-old architecturally designed house.

Located in the Waterforde Estate, the current owners have been looking to downsize from the large house since their two daughters moved out and they no longer needed as much space.

Set on almost a hectare (2.3 acres), the house has high ceilings throughout and fully ducted air-conditioning.

The large master bedroom has a double walk-in robe and an ensuite with a corner spa and the other four double-sized bedrooms all have built-in robes.

Polished timber flooring flows through the traffic areas and living rooms of the house and the modern polyurethane kitchen has stainless steel Smeg and Meile appliances, a dishwasher and also views over a lagoon.

The house offers open-plan living areas including a formal lounge room, family room, a meals and a rumpus room.

In addition to the ensuite there are two tiled bathrooms and the laundry has a double built-in linen closet.

A highlight of the property is the salt water self-cleaning pool which is built into an L-shaped entertaining area.

Separate from the house is an additional entertaining area with panoramic views over the lagoon and adjoining farmland.

The house was constructed with a steel frame with Hebel insulated panels and has Granosite rendering with a textured scratch finish.

The property is 10 minutes from the F3 Freeway, five minutes from Greenhills Stockland Shopping Centre, 25 minutes from the Hunter Valley vineyards and 25 minutes to Newcastle.

It is being sold by expressions of interest.

Grand homestead awaits

SITUATED on 5.4 hectares on Masonite Road at Tomago is this grand property.

Just 10 minutes from Stockton beach, the airport and the expressway the property is also about 20 minutes away from the Newcastle CBD.

The executive-style homestead is set amidst established trees and landscaped gardens.

It has six bedrooms, three bathrooms, a library, plus a two-bedroom granny flat.

The property also has a study, a large kitchen, open-plan lounge, dining and family rooms, an upstairs balcony and a rumpus room as well as a gym complete with a sauna.

The current owners, Barry and Joan Worley, have reluctantly decided to sell their rural property after 35 years to retire at the beachside town of Scotts Head on the mid-north coast.

Built for entertaining, the house has a large dome-covered area consisting of approximately 94 square metres that leads to an in-ground pool.

The property has a stable and exercise yards as well as grassed and sheltered paddocks which are ideal for keeping horses.

There are also two storage sheds and a double garage.

Agent Michael Burke said the property would suit people who were looking for some space and the lifestyle opportunities the acreage offered.

Mr Burke said the property was particularly well set up for horses.

It is being sold by expressions of interest which close June 3.
