Commanding the space and demanding the presence, this immaculately presented, sprawling rural estate with an elegantly appointed residence takes pride of place atop the hillside in the sought-after suburb of Holgate. It is, without a doubt, a landmark property for the Central Coast. Herein lies the chance to inspect and experience one of the best and most unique properties to enter the market in recent years, the likes of which are normally found in the Kenthurst or Bowral areas. The property is impressive from the moment you meander through the gated entry, along the sealed driveway with extensive garaging and level parking areas, to the porte-cochere. Captivating valley views greet you and the grand but simple beauty of the residence is evident, as you begin to appreciate the enormity of the lifestyle on offer. A private and tranquil setting to relax in and enjoy with family and friends, so close to everything, yet feeling like it's a million miles from everywhere. Unlike most semi-rural properties, it is impressive from every angle Built in 2001/2002, the original home was upgraded, and the pool and landscaping constructed in 2006. The extensive renovations in 2016 were designed by notable Sydney architect Paul Jones, with the building works carried out by renowned Central Coast builder Lindsay Frew. The sheer scale of the home is expressed through the impressive entry, high-raked ceilings, elaborate cornicing, and large commercial-grade windows and doors that allow abundant light and the gorgeous vista to filter in. As you would expect, quality appointments including magnificent Sydney Blue Gum timber floorboards feature throughout the home as well as stone finishes, floor-to-ceiling tiling, European appliances, high-end cabinetry, ducted vacuuming, covered LED, and pendant light fittings, dual roller blinds, and plantation shutters. This is a home to be lived in and enjoyed. With a functional floor plan, the interiors meld seamlessly with the outdoors, ensuring that every occasion works whether it be an intimate 'tete-a-tete' or an extravaganza for hundreds. Numerous formal and informal living rooms inside connect with the alfresco entertaining and living areas. The master bedroom provides a retreat away from the chaos of everyday life, with his and hers walk-in robes and a thoughtfully planned ensuite, it is also a place to savour the enchanting and everchanging sunrises. The kitchen is the hub of the home, with the island bench having seating for seven making it the perfect place to congregate. Having an ideal aspect, sunlight radiates throughout the home and the slow-combustion fireplace creates the perfect ambiance during the winter months in the family room. The 15m solar-heated infinity-style glass edge and tiled pool is the focal point of the home's exterior, with glass balustrades allowing unobstructed views. For the equestrian enthusiast there are gently undulating acres, viewable from the home, which are fenced into several paddocks and connect with the main stables and equestrian facilities. Completing the horse-lover's dream is the professionally constructed Olympic-sized dressage arena. The Matcham Valley Pony Club is exceptionally close by and has a fully fenced 40m x 80m 'Ebb and Flow' arena, a large grassed riding area, and trails for training. There is also a 20m x 12m powered shed with float parking, a hot water wash bay, lockable storage space, and lighting. The property also has two dams.
