Set on 20 elevated acres in the heart of lovely Lovedale, the property comprises a fully leased kitchen/restaurant, three tourist accommodations and a huge country homestead which has recently been renovated throughout with an industrial feel. It offers spectacular views of the surrounding vine-clad hills to the Watagan Range, is immersed in the vineyards, restaurants and concert venues that Wine Country is famous for and has excellent access to the Hunter Expressway taking you direct to Newcastle and Sydney in under 35 minutes and 2 hours respectively.
The main homestead offers four very generous bedrooms (and potentially a couple more), the main with large parents retreat, huge walk-in robe and freshly renovated ensuite. A massive open living space with tall cathedral ceilings is the centre of the home and flows to a very cool industrial kitchen, a breakfast room or home office and two covered outdoor living spaces. One of these living spaces houses a large outdoor kitchen and flows to an entertaining deck over the pond with views in all directions as far as the eye can see. The property is kept comfortable all year round by reverse-cycle ducted air conditioning and a wood burning combustion fireplace.
Nearby, three fun and quirky tourist accommodations are housed in a two-story terrace and separate stand-alone cottage. The terrace houses a four bedroom, two bathroom self-contained accommodation and another single bedroom accommodation which is currently utilised as an office. An additional two bedroom self-contained accommodation isnt far away and overlooks an established olive grove. All accommodations share a central in-ground pool.
The restaurant is tucked right down the front of the property and is leased on a long-term basis to a pre-packaged meal business which means there is a solid reliable income and minimal traffic or noise. There is also a current DA for a larger restaurant and wine bar in the same location and the necessary alcohol licences are already in place.
Outside, a large machinery shed with power and slab floor, a double garage again with power and slab floor, a horse stable and fenced paddock, sealed internal roads as well as three earth dams and an irrigation allocation of 2 mega litres from the Hunter Wine Country Private Irrigation District ensures that everything has been thought of and there is plenty of scope for whatever your heart desires.
Inspection by private appointment.
