Perched in an elevated position just 12km west of Orange, Wattleview offers an exceptional combination of rural lifestyle, established vineyard production and breathtaking countryside views. Set across 50.55 hectares (approximately 124 acres), this remarkable holding includes an architecturally designed four-bedroom residence, approximately six hectares of premium cool-climate vineyard, productive grazing country and substantial agricultural infrastructure, all within easy reach of the city.
Designed with solar-passive principles, the residence makes the most of its northerly aspect, with generous windows and glass doors framing sweeping 180-degree views across the vineyard, rolling farmland and countryside towards Molong. Timber-lined ceilings, exposed beams, brick feature walls and natural slate-look flooring bring warmth and character to the interiors, while double-glazed windows and solar panels add to the home's practical appeal.
A generous formal lounge with an open fireplace provides a welcoming retreat, while the open-plan kitchen, dining and family area forms the heart of the home, enjoying spectacular views and direct access to the extensive paved outdoor entertaining terrace. The kitchen features distinctive cabinetry handcrafted from salvaged Western red cedar, along with a breakfast bar, gas cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher. A slow-combustion wood heater adds warmth to the adjoining family living area, creating a comfortable space to gather throughout the cooler months.
The north-facing main bedroom enjoys its own beautiful outlook, with large windows and glass doors opening towards the gardens and surrounding countryside, along with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Three additional bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, while a separate office with storage cupboards, family bathroom, separate toilet and laundry complete the accommodation. Additional features include electrically operated windows in the southern rooms, ceiling fans, roof and overhead sprinklers for bushfire protection, and a double garage with separate storage room and toilet, complemented by a large carport.
Extending along the northern side of the home, the expansive paved terrace provides a wonderful setting for outdoor entertaining, overlooking established gardens, the vineyard and the countryside stretching to the horizon. Beautifully integrated with the surrounding landscape, the gardens include a variety of native plantings, including Waratahs that flower in spring.
Beyond the residence, approximately six hectares (15 acres) are devoted to an established, high-altitude cool-climate vineyard with a history of award-winning wine production. Positioned within the renowned Orange wine region, the vineyard forms a significant part of Wattleview's appeal, offering an established agricultural asset alongside the property's outstanding lifestyle qualities.
The balance of the property incorporates grazing country, with ten fully fenced paddocks, two substantial dams, established livestock watering facilities and cattle yards. On the eastern side of the holding, a dedicated area has been thoughtfully managed for native regeneration, with extensive tree planting creating an increasingly established natural environment. Together with the property's creek and surrounding bushland, this area adds another dimension to Wattleview, providing a beautiful contrast to the productive vineyard and open grazing country.
A large machinery shed, hay shed, workers' amenities and lunchroom, together with irrigation infrastructure, three water tanks and a 122ML water licence, further support the property's productive use. An extensive range of vineyard and farming plant and equipment is also detailed in the property's inclusions.
Combining a distinctive country residence, established vineyard, versatile rural land and extraordinary panoramic views, Wattleview presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the space, privacy and possibilities of a substantial rural holding, just minutes from Orange.
