Escape the compromises of Sydney living and discover a private family estate offering approximately 4,707m² of land, five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a resort-style pool, self-contained accommodation and an industrial-height powered shed — all within easy reach of Newcastle, Maitland, the M1 and Hunter Expressway.
Perfect for a multigenerational family, home-based business, tradesperson or lifestyle buyer, this beautifully updated residence provides the space, flexibility and privacy that are increasingly difficult to find in metropolitan Sydney.
Positioned in Thornton, the property combines an acreage-style lifestyle with excellent connectivity to the broader Hunter and Newcastle region. Stockland Green Hills, local schools, shops and transport are all within easy reach, while convenient access to the New England Highway, Hunter Expressway and M1 Pacific Motorway makes the location particularly appealing for buyers relocating from Sydney while still wanting strong connections back toward the city.
Inside, the home offers two separate living areas, hybrid timber and tiled flooring, new carpet to the bedrooms and large windows overlooking the pool. Two LPG gas fireplaces add warmth through the cooler months, while ducted air conditioning with app-controlled zoning and ceiling fans provide year-round comfort.
At the heart of the home , this striking custom-designed kitchen is a statement in both style and functionality. A magnificent natural stone waterfall island anchors the space, complemented by bespoke cabinetry and integrated premium appliances. A separate, beautifully appointed butler’s pantry provides exceptional additional storage and preparation space, ensuring the kitchen remains effortlessly refined when entertaining. Designed to bring together grand-scale entertaining and sophisticated everyday living, this is a kitchen that delivers both luxury and practicality in equal measure.
Accommodation has been designed with larger and extended families in mind. The main bedroom features a large walk-in dressing room and private ensuite with underfloor heating, double shower and his-and-hers vanity, while an additional bedroom also enjoys its own ensuite.
A major highlight is the self-contained accommodation, complete with internal and private external access, kitchenette, built-in robes and its own bathroom. Ideal for parents, adult children, extended family or guests, it provides genuine independence while remaining connected to the main residence.
Outside, the property delivers the lifestyle many Sydney buyers are moving north to find. The pool is complemented by a pergola, side deck and fire pit area, creating multiple spaces to entertain, relax and enjoy the generous grounds throughout the year.
For tradespeople, business owners or buyers requiring substantial storage, the powered 6m x 6m industrial-height shed with independent road access is another standout feature, providing excellent access for vehicles, tools and equipment. An internal-access double garage, second laundry and loft storage add further practicality.
