The original home of the highly competitive Dungog-Fosterton cricket matches and still boasting the century-old concrete pitch, this brilliantly situated property of 3ha (7ac approx) with river frontage on the coveted Fosterton Loop offers an exciting opportunity to create a superior lifestyle property only seven minutes from Dungog.
The late 1970s era ranch-style residence has excellent bones that provide a blank canvas for modernisation. From the wide covered front verandah with its beautiful arbour, the home opens to multiple free-flowing living and dining zones inviting family entertainment and relaxation. Cathedral ceilings are well insulated and large north-facing feature windows and glass sliding doors provide thermally efficient living and access to lovely alfresco venues surrounded by sweeping lawns and a tranquil garden oasis. Overlooking the dining and living zones, the bright and spacious kitchen delivers ample bench and storage space, all electric cooking plus dishwasher. The queen-size Master suite with private views enjoys a walk-in robe and modern all-white ensuite. Two further double bedrooms plus a single fourth bedroom each with a private aspect have built-in robes and share a functional family bathroom that would benefit from an update.
Additional features include neutral palette throughout, dedicated home office/study, green energy solar electricity, ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning, well-proportioned laundry, 2 x water tanks for domestic use; septic waste management system and double carport under roofline. A rustic shed and chicken residence integrated into the established vegetable gardens dotted with fruit trees will please those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Beyond the house garden the acreage stretches to the Williams River with pumping rights delivering abundant water for paddocks, gardens and w/c. Lightly treed and divided into two paddocks and with a small holding yard, the property is ideal for horses or alpacas and offers ample room for the creation of stabling and a schooling arena.
A dress-circle location and close proximity to the Hunter’s commercial and equestrian hubs of Raymond Terrace (40mins), Maitland (50mins) and Newcastle (1hr) as well as the region’s wineries and scenic sites combine with Cricket Hill’s undeniable lifestyle potential to create the ultimate lifestyle experience.
