A TWO-ACRE (0.81-hectare) property at Mount View with expansive rural views and plans approved for an architect-designed house is for sale this month.

The allotment (8010 square metres) at 9 Mount Bright Road is a "stone's throw" from Hunter Valley wine country, listing agent Kyle Davis of Jurd's Real Estate says.

A current development application exists to build a home "Ridge House" on the allotment. It was designed by architect Peter Stuchbury in association with Bourne + Blue Architecture to take advantage of the views of nearby vineyards.

The design incorporates three large pavilions linked by hardwood timber decking and featuring separate living areas.

The home would have three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a blend of sliding glass doors and windows, rendered masonry, timber and fixed glazing.

All plans, reports and approvals are offered with the sale of the land.

Mr Davis said it was a superb offering that combined a building site and location with house plans.

The property is being offered for sale by expressions of interest closing on Friday, March 31, at 5pm, unless sold prior.

Phone listing agent Kyle Davis on 0407 529 170 or 4991 4000.

Expansive living

THE north-facing country home at 23 Tuckers Lane, North Rothbury, is set on 11 acres (4.45 hectares) of private countryside.

The current owners have created the home over the past five years.

It has four bedrooms, three in the main house and one in a separate loft, all with ensuites.

Timber has been extensively used throughout the home to give it a polished finish.

It has blue gum flooring, cedar windows and doors, and jarrah benchtops in the kitchen.

Italian fittings are found in the bathrooms, and the home has marble floor tiles and soft downlights.

The ceilings are about 3.3 metres high.

The house has expansive living areas, ducted air-conditioning, a wine cellar and wraparound verandas.

The property is serviced by a three-megalitre quarry rock dam.

There is an inground saltwater pool at the rear of the house.

The manicured grounds include a collection of 25 established fruit trees and eight olive trees.

The property is for sale by expressions of interest, with offers from $1,350,000 being considered.
