A beautifully restored country homestead, productive grazing country and breathtaking mountain views – an exceptional rural lifestyle in one of the Hunter Valley’s most desirable locations.

Privately positioned amongst 94 acres of gently undulating grazing country in the heart of Lovedale’s renowned wine tourism district, this magnificent rural holding offers an enviable combination of timeless country elegance, productive farmland and spectacular rural scenery.

With sweeping views across the countryside to the majestic Watagan and Broken Back mountain ranges, extensive frontage to Black Creek and approximately one-third of the property comprising fertile creek flats, this is a property of exceptional beauty, versatility and lifestyle appeal.

At the heart of the property sits a meticulously restored timber and iron farmhouse, where classic country charm meets understated elegance and modern-day practicality. Beautifully presented and rich in character, the home has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its architectural heritage while creating inviting, comfortable spaces for everyday living and entertaining.

The centrepiece of the home is an expansive open-plan living and dining room, where soaring ceilings, magnificent timber floorboards and an open fireplace create a wonderful sense of space, warmth and character. Opening directly onto a generous screened entertaining room, both spaces capture breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside and distant mountain ranges, providing the perfect setting for relaxed family living or entertaining friends.

Equally impressive is the substantial country-style eat-in kitchen, a welcoming and beautifully appointed space that truly embodies the heart of the home. Featuring a 110cm Smeg oven with six-burner cooktop, stone benchtops, extensive cabinetry and a combustion fireplace capable of warming the entire home, the kitchen combines traditional country charm with exceptional functionality.

An adjoining sitting area provides another inviting space to relax, while an enormous butler’s pantry, complete with extensive cabinetry, stone benchtops, double sink and dishwasher, ensures the kitchen is as practical as it is beautiful.

Throughout the three-bedroom home, the quality of the renovation and attention to detail are immediately apparent. Timber-lined walls, beautiful cedar windows and doors, including traditional double-hung and louvred windows, decorative cornices and carefully selected finishes create a wonderful sense of warmth and craftsmanship. Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans provide year-round comfort, complementing the warmth and ambience of the home’s fireplaces.

Outside, the farmhouse is framed by a substantial timber post-and-rail house yard fence, providing both a practical and striking architectural feature. Gorgeous recycled brick entry pathway highlights the established cottage gardens, creating an enchanting setting that perfectly complements the character of the home and the surrounding rural landscape.

Beyond the homestead, the property offers the infrastructure and water resources required for a genuine grazing hobby farm, future tourist development or simply enjoying the freedom and versatility of an expansive rural holding.
