Orizaba is a property that surfaces only once in a generation. Set high in the rolling hills of Mount View, Orizaba gazes across vine-draped valleys towards the distant coast, with views that tumble endlessly into the horizon. It sits with quiet majesty, like a villa gently placed on the crest of Tuscany itself a world away, yet only a stroll from the famed French restaurant, Bistro Molines. This is a home designed for the long lunch lifestyle. The verandas embrace the house, catching every breeze and framing 360-degree views, while inside, bagged walls and cedar-framed windows speak of simple, authentic country living. With four bedrooms, three ensuites and guest bathroom, a wine cellar and two garages, the house is deceptively generous yet unpretentious a place where entertaining flows easily and storage is never an afterthought. The estate spans just over three acres enough to feel expansive, yet effortlessly manageable. Manicured lawns roll gently into established shade trees, and an orchard of fruit trees supplies the table through every season. The gardens ask for little, rewarding instead with bursts of autumn yellow, red and purple and springtime white, a living canvas that changes with the year. As daylight fades, the infinity-edge pool beckons. Imagine slipping into its cool waters on a warm summer night, stars scattered across the Hunter sky, the silhouette of vineyards below a nightly ritual that feels indulgent yet perfectly natural in a place like this. An afternoon on a picnic blanket under an ancient peppercorn tree with a local rose or chilled white, will relax your guests. Double brick construction supported by massive timber beams, Orizaba is timeless in its design and layout. More than an estate, it is a lifestyle: private, soulful, perfectly attuned to its setting. This is not a property that can be captured by words or pictures alone. Orizaba must be experienced. Private inspections available by appointment.
