A unique agricultural/viticultural/tourism opportunity of undoubted quality and appeal!
Situated in the Hunter Valley between Pokolbin and historic Wollombi, Stonehurst is known for having some of the districts best soil and water. Settled in the 1820s, the property had a long history of orchards and cattle grazing. Deer farming followed, with some deer remaining as a novel attraction for guests in the six tourist cottages. A boutique vineyard (17 acres) was planted in 1995 with wine sales from a sandstone Cellar Door, storage in two large insulated cellars and a Sandstone managers residence.
Stonehurst is situated on 160 acres over three separate titles with two road frontages and additionally has access to 360 acres of leasehold land. A true feature of Stonehurst is the long frontages to both the Wollombi Brook and Cedar Creek, which not only provide abundant water for grazing, viticulture and gardens, but also for recreational fishing and swimming.
The visionary owners have developed Stonehurst and Cedar Creek Cottages with natural local timbers, convict brick and sandstone, which when combined with the natural beauty of the property, have created the Valleys most desirable setting. Not just the most beautiful idyllic place to enjoy your new life, but also a real business with strong, long term cash-flow.
Reluctantly offered by its long term owners.
