Set on 60 elevated acres, this sprawling country homestead sits in a lovely setting surrounded by mature trees and offering extensive views out over the Wine Country and Brokenback Range of the Lower Hunter. The property is a peaceful, private country retreat, yet centrally located to all the restaurants, vineyards, concert venues and other attractions of this popular area. It is also well located (10-minute drive) for schools, shopping centers and Cessnock Hospital.
A renovated farmhouse surrounded by wide covered verandahs and having a large covered entertaining deck that looks out over the Valley. Two excellent open-plan living spaces (with wood burning fires in each), four generous bedrooms (two with ensuites) plus two other modern bathrooms make the configuration perfect for a family home, weekend home or even use as a holiday letting. A new galley-style kitchen with stainless appliances and stone benchtops connects the two living spaces. The house has a four-car garage.
Adjacent to the main home in a private setting is a separate cottage which could be used as a home office, guest, or rental accommodation. This cottage has 2 bedrooms, an open plan kitchen and living area. The cottage also enjoys great views out over the Valley and has its own double garage.
Entirely useable and with plentiful water from 4 farm dams plus a separate PID (Private Irrigation District) dam with a 3 megalitre allocation. The land is well fenced, has many scenic areas with large shady trees and has been used predominantly for grazing cattle. However, the zoning supports many other pursuits including tourist accommodation, function center, restaurant, vineyard and cellar door.
Inspection is by private appointment.
