A sprawling Tuscan-inspired estate on 2.5 acres in Lake Macquarie is set to hit the market for the first time.
The six-bedroom, four-bathroom property is launching with Louise Vico of Movable via an expressions of interest campaign, with expectations it could deliver one of the suburb's top sales results.
Bringing a taste of the Italian countryside to Warners Bay and designed as a homage to the owner's heritage, the property's European-inspired architecture includes pillars, terracotta tones, and a resort-style pool and pavilion.
It also has a wine cellar.
Ms Vico said the property, which is hidden at the end of a private road, could be lifted straight from the hills of Tuscany.
"It is a unique property - there is really nothing else like it around the lake," Ms Vico said.
"There are other acreages in Warners Bay, but this is probably the closest to the hub of the shops and the water.
"It's extremely private. Once you drive through the gates, it feels like you're driving into a beautiful Tuscan vineyard; you wouldn't know anyone else is around."
Beyond the main house, the property includes a giant outdoor chessboard, a gym, a seven-car garage, multiple workshops, storerooms, and formal gardens.
Designed as two interconnected pavilions, Ms Vico said the home's large footprint, including a self-contained flat, suits dual-living or multi-generational families.
Inside, features include floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows in the main open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area.
Built for grand-scale entertaining, the property has multiple outdoor entertaining areas and courtyards, including the pool area.
"It's a very large home," Ms Vico said.
"It has multiple living areas and huge decks extending off several parts of the home, so it's a place where you can host a crowd without ever feeling crowded."
Built by the owners about 30 years ago, the listing marks the end of an era for the family.
"It is the first time it has been offered to the market," Ms Vico said.
"The owners are simply ready to downsize."
