Straight out of a colonial fairy tale, 'Glen Hurst' is spectacular from all angles - from its tree-lined bitumen arrival and immaculate grounds to the gracious c1848 freestone manor wrapped in return verandahs and 30 high-quality hectares of hay and beef grazing territory just 3kms from Macclesfield.
Yet amongst this blue-chip lifestyle of oil painting vistas, a winter creek, 6 dams, and exciting commercial potential, is another sign that confirms this is, God's country.
Part of the original cottage is believed to have been a small church and pastor's residence - today, thanks to a significant and sensitive addition, the entire 2-storey, 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom manor is to be worshipped.
Gaze up to the enormous living room's 6m vaulted ceilings and exposed rafters, peer out its north-facing French doors, or wind down in the cigar room by the historic open fire as you whisk staying guests to their ground floor wing with ensuite.
This is magic unmatched.
Host from the hearty kitchen exuding a timeless country chic with whitewashed joinery, polished timber floors, and exposed stone walls mingling with the dining room crowd by the combustion fire.
And from last drinks, the palatial master wing retreats to dual French doors opening to the verandah, its own combustion fire, a walk-in dressing room, plus a large spa ensuite with views.
Upstairs, enjoy another endearing perspective from 4 more bedrooms, a retreat, central bathroom, and a separate WC.
Forget 9 to 5. This is 24/7 heaven for part time graziers who'll appreciate the property's sound infrastructure including 10-car vehicle/workshop capacity, implement and hay shedding, quality steel cattle yards (with ramp access onto Shobbrook Road) its dams, and a fully equipped bore.
