Set on the banks of the Hunter River in the picturesque Hunter Valley, this incredible farm is built on deep rich chocolate soil and has abundant irrigation water. The fully renovated farmhouse could be from the pages of a story book and there is more shedding than anyone could possibly need. The property is minutes to Branxton, the Hunter Expressway and Wine Country and you can be on the sandy beaches of Newcastle in an hour flat. This is incredibly rare.

Offering over 1.7km of frontage to the mighty Hunter River and Black Creek, the lush river flats have been pasture improved for generations and now separated into four paddocks which have been both farmed by the owners and let to neighbours in recent times giving the new owner plenty of options. Currently let for $66,000 per annum, this may be able to be extended or discontinued depending on the wishes of the purchaser. An irrigation licence of 103 megalitres provides for ample water and underground mains are already in place.

The farmhouse has been completely renovated from front to back while retaining many of the beautiful 1920 features. A hamptons-style kitchen and colour scheme set the tone for the home with beautifully polished hardwood boards and tall ornate ceilings throughout. The kitchen has thick stone tops and Euro appliances with twin ovens and flows into a combined lounge and dining and on to a huge enclosed outdoor space overlooking the sparkling new pool. The enclosed outdoor room has an outdoor kitchen and large enough for both lounge and dining spaces no doubt where the owners would spend most afternoons watching the sun set with a glass of the Hunter Valley's finest in hand. Four spacious bedrooms with original fireplaces share two new ensuites and a third bathroom doubles as a guest powder room and European laundry. The entire home is kept comfortable year-round by reverse-cycle air-conditioning and a crackling wood fire. A whopping 20Kw solar system and 16Kw battery mean power bills are a rarity these days.
