Overview

85A Cranbrook Park Road, Little Hartley

Set across 3.6 hectares of gently rolling land with sweeping panoramic views, this breathtaking country estate offers more than just a home; it is a sanctuary of calm, romance, and timeless rural charm. The thoughtfully renovated and beautifully appointed residence welcomes you with warmth, elegance, and ample space to breathe.

Upon entering, your gaze is drawn through the generous living area to a magnificent wall of picture windows that frame landscaped gardens like living artwork. In winter, the glow of the roaring fire, cathedral ceilings above, and mist drifting across the paddocks create a scene reminiscent of a storybook. Nearby, you may spot sheep grazing peacefully, a gentle reminder of the slower pace of life here.
