This home has golf options inside and out, along with a whisky bar and cinema

Shelly Jurd, of Jurds Real Estate, has listed a house in Pokolbin with an indoor golf simulator. Picture supplied

A luxury home described as a "golf enthusiast's dream" has hit the market in Hunter Valley wine country.

The five-bedroom, three-bathroom property on Paperbark Drive in Pokolbin is located in The Vintage Golf Courses estate, and it also has a room equipped with an indoor golf simulator.

The five-bedroom property has a guide of $3.5 million. Picture supplied

The custom-built golf simulator, which includes a gaming projector and Flight Scope technology, creates the ultimate space for golf fanatics.

And there's good reason for that.

It is the family home of 13-year-old Hunter Valley golf prodigy Jesse Linden, who is carving out a name for himself on the junior circuit in Australia and the US.

Linden became the first Australian to qualify in the 10-year history of Augusta National's Drive, Chip and Putt competition in America.

Adjoining the space is a whisky bar with a wine cellar and storage for hundreds of bottles, including a wine fridge and bar fridge.

The property is listed for sale with Shelly Jurd at Jurds Real Estate.

"It is a beautiful family home and it has plenty of exciting factors with the gold simulator and the home theatre," Ms Jurd said.

"It is geared toward the golf enthusiast but even if you weren't into golf it would be a very elaborate and fun family home to live in."

The property is for sale with a guide of $3.5 million.

The Linden family built the luxury home less than five years ago.

Set on an 1119-square metre corner block, the house has multiple living areas and alfresco spaces.

All five bedrooms include walk-in robes including the main bedroom with a large ensuite, sitting room and balcony access.

It also has two home office spaces with built-in cabinetry.
