The iconic Berry estate - 'Hanwood Hill'
In the verdant hills of Broughton Vale, just minutes from the historic village of Berry, stands a breathtaking country estate - "Hanwood Hill". Framed by 27 acres of picturesque pastoral landscapes including established show gardens, this property, arguably one of the most admired in the district, promises an enviable lifestyle seldom available around Berry.
The residence at Hanwood Hill, set behind an impressive and private tree lined driveway, merges historical grace with modern amenities. It features six beautifully designed living spaces, including cosy fireplaces, a north-facing conservatory-style dining and sitting area, and both formal lounge and dining rooms. Complementing these are four queen-sized bedrooms, a sleepout veranda, an office, a second office space, mud room, games area and spacious attached double garage. There is also a delightful garden cottage.
Beyond the walls of the homestead, the estate reveals a plethora of outdoor facilities. Recreational enthusiasts can delight in the full-sized tennis court illuminated by LED floodlights for nighttime games. Surrounded by travertine, the sun-drenched inground saltwater pool epitomizes stylish relaxation while practical elements such as a 13kW solar system, vegetable garden and potting shed, and a large chook pen underscore the self-sufficient rural lifestyle.
Further afield, the fully fenced and cleared property is currently stocked with Red Angus cattle. There is also a cattle yard and crush. Water for the cattle and garden is supplied by a new Franklin immersion pump and sub drive in the fresh water of Broughton Mill Creek. There is also ample tank water for the house and 6 troughs for the cattle. A 16 station Orbit irrigation system maintains the garden.
350 meters of river frontage onto Broughton Mill Creek provide the opportunity for swimming, camping and fishing for Black Bass and Silver Perch. Meandering paths lead to numerous outbuildings, including a charming rustic two-storey barn, timber cottage, a workshop, old dairy and potting shed.
Hanwood Hill's strategic location combines rural tranquillity with the convenience of nearby Berry Village, offering a balance of peaceful country living and urban amenities. This property is a rare lifestyle opportunity, providing a unique blend of historical significance, modern luxury, and natural beauty, all in one of the region's most coveted locations.
