Soldiers Cottage picturebook vineyard home

Nestled at the foothills of the Brokenback Ranges and Yengo National Park and surrounded by some of the Hunter's most notable wineries and restaurants, "Soldiers Cottage" is the ideal country residence or weekend retreat. It was formerly knows as Kalagari

Set on 37 acres, the original 1900's soldiers settlement cottage has been thoughtfully extended to ensure the historic features of the property have been retained, including many of the original floorboards and brick fireplace and original Stove. A homely and extremely comfortable cottage, the main homestead now boasts four bedrooms, including a separate, large master bedroom with ensuite and balcony on the upstairs level. The three additional bedrooms are located on the ground floor and separated from the living areas.

There is also a separate 1br Studio closeby.

With beautiful views of the vines and surrounding mountain range, the large 9.8m x 5.2m lounge room features raked ceilings and split system air conditioner. Winter nights will be spent snuggled on the lounge next to the stunning Masport wood burner and family meals will be shared all year round in the 7.2m x 4.8m enclosed indoor/outdoor entertaining area.

In addition to its award-winning vines which consist of a highly regarded Chambourcin and Shiraz, the property capitalises on its close location to many wineries and wedding venues.

4 bedrooms + Study with double bunks and 2 bathrooms in the main house which is what you get for a 8 person booking + extra trundle and single in one of the bedrooms can bring you to 12 pax in the main Homestead.

Additional Studio bedroom and bathroom is what you get for an extra 2 guests (above 12) to a maximum of 14 pax. We are happy to negotiate access to the Studio for 12 people for a modest uplift in price.

A storybook home in a beautiful location makes "Soldiers Cottage" the ideal property to start your next chapter.
