Set within the peaceful rural surrounds of Butterwick, 487 Butterwick Road presents an exceptional lifestyle opportunity offering space, versatility and an impressive range of infrastructure for those seeking a self-sufficient acreage property. Whether you’re looking for room to run a hobby farm, operate a home business, grow your own produce or simply enjoy a quiet country lifestyle, this property delivers a rare combination of practicality and lifestyle appeal.
The home has been thoughtfully updated to ensure comfort year-round, featuring new Panasonic ducted air conditioning servicing every room, complemented by three Mitsubishi split systems for additional climate control. Energy efficiency is also a standout, with a 10kW solar system paired with an Enphase battery setup, helping reduce running costs while supporting sustainable living.

For those passionate about gardening or self-sufficiency, the property offers outstanding facilities including a large greenhouse measuring approximately 15m x 7.5m with four raised waist-high garden beds, plus an additional 6m x 3m greenhouse. Established fruit trees are spread throughout the grounds, including plum, cherry, apple, avocado, lemon, lime, lemonade, mandarin, orange, banana and olive trees, along with numerous mulberries and younger fruit trees including peach, nectarine and fig.
Water infrastructure is extensive, featuring two 100,000-litre tanks and two 20,000-litre tanks servicing the home, along with an additional 3,000-litre tank with pressure pump for the old enclosed above-ground pool area. A dam with a 15-amp irrigation pump supports garden watering, with approximately ten water outlets across the property making irrigation simple and efficient. A 25m fire hose connection to the shed provides additional functionality.
The property is well-equipped for hobby farming or rural living, with a horse trough positioned in the paddock, a chook pen with caravan converted into a chicken house, and purpose-built compost bins designed to suit tractor use. Two shipping containers with a galvanised roof structure between them provide further covered storage and workspace.
Additional improvements include multiple garden sheds for tool storage, extensive garden infrastructure and established grounds that make the property both productive and enjoyable.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property remains conveniently located within easy reach of Maitland’s shopping, schools, hospitals and everyday amenities, while still enjoying the privacy and space that acreage living provides.
