Description: Welcome to a home that breathes with the landscape. Commanding an elevated position amid the rolling hills of New England, with breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding countryside and the dramatic backdrop of the Pinnacles, this beautifully crafted 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence invites you to slow down and embrace a gentler pace of life.
Designed by renowned architect Kerry Hawkins and built with the natural warmth and exceptional thermal insulation of strawbale construction, 'Scuppers' offers year-round comfort, keeping you cosy in winter and cool in summer. Set on just over 100 acres, it combines sustainable design, privacy and wide-open space, just a short, easy commute from Armidale.
Step inside to discover an extraordinary, light-filled open-plan living area with soaring ceilings, an expansive country kitchen, generous dining area and welcoming living spaces blend seamlessly together. A central open fireplace creates warmth and atmosphere, while the substantial kitchen, featuring a 1000mm ILVE oven, is perfectly equipped for entertaining family and friends.
Beautiful, polished timber floorboards, sourced directly from the property itself, connect the interiors to the surrounding landscape. This sense of comfort extends into the private quarters, where the master suite and second bedroom each feature their own open fireplaces, offering warmth and a peaceful evening ambience.
With four spacious bedrooms, multiple fireplaces and generous communal spaces, Scuppers is equally suited to family life or entertaining. Already operating as an established boutique holiday accommodation property, it also presents an appealing opportunity for those seeking a lifestyle property with income potential.
The home connects beautifully with the outdoors through a wide, sheltered verandah that wraps around the residence. From this elevated vantage point, sweeping views extend across rolling farmland, distant horizons and the rugged contours of the Pinnacles to the west and north. Whether enjoying a morning coffee, entertaining friends or watching the changing colours of the countryside as the sun sets, the views provide an ever-changing backdrop to daily life.
Beyond the verandah, established gardens and an orchard complement the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. With expansive open spaces, sweeping rural vistas and spectacular star-filled skies, the property offers a wonderful sense of peace, privacy and connection to the New England countryside.
Sustainability is central to the property, with solar panels helping to reduce reliance on grid electricity and a substantial 90,000-litre rainwater storage system. The land is divided into four paddocks with three dams, offering opportunities for livestock, horses or hobby farming.
For those seeking a tree-change that combines extraordinary views, architectural character, generous space and a genuine connection to nature without sacrificing comfort, 'Scuppers' offers something truly distinctive. Located within a tightly held rural community, this is a rare opportunity to embrace the beauty, tranquillity and possibilities of country living.
