Set privately on 5,662m2 of beautifully landscaped grounds just ten minutes from the city, this early 1900s villa presents a lifestyle of quality, privacy, and enduring character in a sought-after semi-rural setting. When this home last came to market in 2020, it drew extraordinary interest, with over 80 groups through the first open home alone. The response reflected what buyers continue to look for: a character home that offers presence, privacy, and close proximity to town.
Lovingly restored, the home showcases its original craftsmanship through solid timber floors, high stud ceilings, leadlight windows, and detailed wall panelling. Inside, four generous bedrooms include a refined master suite with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and French doors opening to the wraparound covered veranda.
Both bathrooms have been tastefully upgraded using heritage-inspired fittings and premium finishes. The country-style kitchen features a double Falcon oven, stone benchtops, and a traditional butler sink, flowing into the open plan living and dining area. A log burner, heat pump, insulation ceiling & underfloor, and HRV system ensure year-round comfort.
Outdoors, the property offers a true retreat. Sea and mountain views stretch into the distance, while flat lawns and structured gardens surround a productive orchard with over ten mature fruit tree varieties. A heated, saltwater inground pool with a self-cleaning system enhances the lifestyle on offer, while the spa and sauna are negotiable to the right buyer.
Well-equipped for hobbies, work, or entertaining, the property also includes a three-bay 82m2 barn shed and a fully lined man cave with built-in bar and ranch-slider to the courtyard. The recently constructed pool shed contains the pump system and offers space adaptable to a studio, gym, or creative workshop. A separate garden shed completes the layout.
A property of this calibre in Hillsborough is a rare offering. Everything is in place for a lifestyle without compromise.
