Loggerheads vineyard estate in Hunter Valley's Pokolbin sold

Loggerheads, the trophy Hunter Valley vineyard estate last sold in 2008, has been sold for about $6 million.

The Pokolbin property has wonderful provenance being the former home of the late Len Evans and before that the Tyrrell family.

It was last sold to Robin and Judy Crawford by Len Evan's widow, Trish Evans. 

International model Miranda Kerr jetted in to spend last Christmas with her Gunnedah-based family, having taken a holiday lease of the vineyard estate.

There's still a village-like setting at the estate which has its rambling residential homestead with three adjoining pavilions. 

The seven bedroom, six bathroom homestead is Australian Country in design, with European influences, extensively refurbished by the architect Michael Suttor, surrounded by Paul Bangay gardens.

The adjoining commercial property has also been sold in two lots.
