In a region defined by vineyards, long lunches and steady tourism appeal, 423 Wilderness Road Lovedale stands out as a property with scale, versatility and strong event infrastructure already in place. Located along Lovedale's renowned tourist trail, this 13.57ha estate pairs an established wedding venue with quality accommodation and a substantial homestead, giving buyers the freedom to operate, expand, or reposition to suit their vision.
The barn-style function space is the centrepiece - rustic, generous in footprint and well-suited to weddings, corporate events and private celebrations. Ceremony and reception areas are thoughtfully separated, outdoor settings frame the countryside backdrop, and the atmosphere is quintessential Hunter Valley: relaxed, elegant and unmistakably authentic. Couples arrive to a venue that photographs beautifully and works seamlessly behind the scenes, a key point of difference in the event market.
Supporting facilities are comprehensive and purpose-driven, including a luxury bridal suite, a fully self-contained one-bedroom studio, a standalone office, and a dedicated amenities block with male, female and accessible bathrooms plus catering-appropriate kitchen amenities; all STCA. The inclusion of these elements means the venue operates as a genuine commercial asset, not just a scenic setting.
The five-bedroom homestead is positioned to take in peaceful rural views and could serve as an owner's residence, luxury guest accommodation or holiday letting, flexibility many buyers will appreciate. Wide verandahs, comfortable living zones and established gardens create an inviting base for extended stays, retreats or family use. Those with long-term plans will see potential in the land itself, where open grazing, established bushland and gently undulating paddocks could accommodate further development or even a vineyard planting to strengthen the wine-country identity.
This is a rare holding in a highly desirable pocket of Lovedale - large, functional, and already trading in one of the region's strongest tourism sectors. A property where business meets lifestyle, with scope to evolve, diversify or simply continue operating as the much-loved venue it is today.
