Set on 26 lush and leafy acres, this split-level ranch-style home is a true home among other small farms on the edge of Maitland in the beautiful Hunter Valley.

As you arrive you are greeted by post and rail fences and a long driveway which lead you to the main house which sprawls over a few levels and has open verandas which hug the front of the home. Entering the home the cedar-lined ceilings and exposed brick provide the warmth that is lacking in modern homes but with paint this could easily be modernised. Centred around a central staircase is the main lounge-room with open wood-burning fireplace and adjoining kitchen which has only recently been installed with stone tops and splashbacks, stainless appliances and soft-closing drawers. Adjoining the kitchen is a sunken sun-room and on the same level is a formal lounge, formal dining room and study. On a lower level are four bedrooms all of which are oversized with built-in robes and share a central renovated bathroom except the main which has a toilet and wash-basin ensuite. The lower level then continues to several open living spaces and workspaces which could be used as bedrooms, a teenagers retreat or a granny flat for extended family. Finally, a billiard room completes the picture and adjacent to the main house is an oversized double garage.

The current owners are horse-lovers and have built stables, yards and paddocks surrounding the home but with plentiful water from three dams, the land can be used for any suitable pursuit.

Located on the outskirts of Maitland but central also to Newcastle and Port Stephens and the vineyards of the Hunter Valley, this could be the tree-change you’ve been searching for.

Inspection by private appointment.
