201 Talga Road, Lovedale

Set overlooking a private lake in one of the Hunter Valley’s most sought after streets, this estate in Wine Country offers a small boutique vineyard and three bedroom, two bathroom guest cottage which provides the owners with an enviable lifestyle and income from the managed guest bookings. It is nearby all the Hunter Valley has to offer and has excellent access to the Hunter Expressway making it under an hour to Newcastle and two hours to Sydney. Set right on the waters’ edge against the Brokenback Range, this unique boathouse offer three generous size rooms in a clever layout. At one end, an open indoor and outdoor living space with full kitchen and bathroom serve two good size bedrooms. At the other end with lockable internal access (and its own external access), the main bedroom has an ensuite and can be locked off and used separately. It is fresh and bright and kept comfortable year round by reverse-cycle air conditioning. Outside a large lake dominates the area around the accommodation and the surrounding hills have a boutique vineyard of Semillon, Durif and Chambourcin – have some fun with your own label or take some out and make room for some cattle or alpacas. email cainb@jurds.com.au email shellyj@jurds.com.au
