Last Listing description (December 2019)
Located in the tightly-held community of Maitland Vale, surrounded by other sizable landholdings, this pristine rural property has plenty of appeal.
Featuring an undulating landscape cleared to shade and feature trees, the property is already well set up to cater for livestock with a variety of agricultural improvements already completed.
The property has been divided into six paddocks, with timber post and rail fencing to the front paddocks, and timer post and wire used for the rear.
A secondary internal fence along the front boundary provides added security for farming operations, creating a secure barrier for stock between the property and the road.
Timber cattle yards with a loading race and steel vet crush provide the initial requirements for setting up a small livestock operation, while horse shelters in the two front paddocks made it equally appealing for equestrian pursuits.
A range of water tanks, as well as a stock dam in the front paddock and a small creek flat to the rear cater for all your livestocks watering needs, while there are also a variety of outbuildings to accommodate your animals, feed, farming equipment and machinery, including an open storage shed in the rear paddock complete with water tank, concrete water trough and stock shelter.
An additional 13m x 7.8m Colorbond barn provides added storage space, with two lined and insulated horse stables, two water tanks connected and drive-through access.
The property also includes a second Colorbond shed, measuring 14.8m x 11.8m, which would be ideal for conversion into liveable accommodation.
Development application approval has already been obtained to turn this building into a residence, with an upgraded power supply and rainwater storage tank making the process even easier.
The barn features an automatic roller door as well as an attached covered patio area already set up for entertaining or relaxing after a long day on the farm, which is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens.
For those looking to create a more sophisticated rural lifestyle, the property also features an ideal future home site, which has been cleared and levelled ready to accommodate your dream homestead.
The home site has easy access to underground power, which can be connected from the current machinery shed to any new build, however an on-site septic waste management system and additional water storage tanks will be required to provide the other necessary services for any future home.
The current building zone sits within a clearing of trees, while its elevated positioning allows you to make the most of its picture perfect setting, with panoramic views across Maitland to the Broken Back mountain range in the distance.
Whether you want to create an architect-designed home of distinction, or convert the existing barn into more rustic style accommodation while you concentrate all your efforts on establishing your farming venture, this property ticks all the right boxes.
Its prime location just 12 minutes from the thriving centre of Maitland also adds to the appeal, allowing you to enjoy a traditional country lifestyle without being too far from the services and amenities of the city.
Close to the amenities, shops and schools in nearby Largs and Bolwarra, Maitland Vale is well positioned in a quiet rural area within reach of the larger surrounding townships, with Morpeth and East Maitland just 12 minutes away, while the beaches of Newcastle and the vineyards of Pokolbin are an easy 40 minute drive in different directions.
