Once in a generation, an opportunity like this arises: this exceptionally fertile 127 acre property sits on the lush green banks of the Hunter River and is only moments to town. A huge 600m2 Queenslander overlooks almost 2km of river frontage and a fodder farm. Located less than 30 minutes to Newcastle CBD, 30 minutes to Newcastle airport, 1 ½ hours to Sydney and 45 minutes to the beaches of Port Stephens and the vineyards, restaurants and concert venues of Wine Country, this may be the ultimate lifestyle property.
A huge river frontage, town water, over 1.3m of annual rainfall, large earth dams and reticulated water – this property is genuinely dought-proof. Said to be four metre deep alluvial soils, the property has been laser-levelled, is entirely pasture improved and is 100% arable.
The home is a high-set modern Queenslander with wrap-around verandas. A huge open living space connects one of the media rooms, kitchen and outdoor entertaining areas. At one end of the home is the massive main bedroom with generous walk-in robe, ensuite and private covered outdoor balcony. An adjoining home-office could also be used as a small fifth bedroom as another space on a lower level could also be used as a home office, teenagers retreat or gym. At the other end of the home, three very large bedrooms, a main bathroom and additional large living space provide plenty of room for the family. The property is kept comfortable all year-round by reverse-cycle ducted air-conditioning. An oversized double garage and mud-room sits under the house.
Adjacent to the main home is a huge farm and machinery shed and another nearby hay shed which together provide ample storage. An old dairy at the front of the property has been converted to a fodder-farm. Cattle yards with holding yards, crush and water are also included.
A DA approval is in place for a significant jetty and boat ramp is already in place for the keen fisherman or water-skiing enthusiast.
