Last Listing description (October 2025)
Surrounded by lush green hills and overlooking the mighty Hunter River, this extraordinary estate offers a life where space, beauty and craftsmanship converge. Set on 16.3 hectares (approximately 40 acres), it is a sanctuary on the very edge of town where rolling acres meet convenience, and country quiet meets city reach.
At its heart stands a grand eight-bedroom homestead, sprawling across a remarkable 800m under roof. Constructed by Stibbard, one of Australia's most respected master builders, every detail speaks of strength, elegance and enduring quality.
The Main Residence
A porte cochere welcomes you home to a wide and gracious entry hall. From here, polished spotted gum floors carry you into soaring living spaces where tall ceilings and a wood-burning log fire create warmth and grandeur in equal measure. French doors open to sweeping river views, while a contemporary kitchen with a walk-in pantry anchors the home with function and style.
Each of the four oversized bedrooms comes with its own walk-in robe, with the master suite boasting an ensuite and private French doors to the landscape beyond. A laundry and additional guest powder room complete this refined wing of the home.
The Second Wing
Through wide bi-folds and a covered alfresco terrace lies the second residence. Here, another four bedrooms and a study, with its own bathroom to provide versatility and scale. Today it houses a home theatre, gym and an office, but its wraparound verandas and commanding views make it equally suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or a luxury retreat.
Grounds & Infrastructure
A 15m x 12m insulated machinery shed with power and slab, complemented by a 15m x 6m open bay, caters to rural pursuits. Cattle yards, a huge earth dam, and over 700m of Hunter River frontage with a 20ML water licence ensure the land is as productive as it is picturesque.
Tree-lined drives, sandstone flagging, majestic old fig trees and established gardens complete the picture, while a sealed road and driveway bring ease of access to your doorstep.
The Lifestyle
Here, the days unfold on wide terraces by the pool or firepit, watching the sun melt into the river. Horses graze in emerald paddocks, children roam wide open spaces, and evenings are shared with family and friends beneath a vast Hunter Valley sky.
Location
Though the property feels a world away, it is enviably close to all the essentials:
9min (7.2km) to Harvey Norman & homemakers centre
11min (9.4km) to Woolworths and shopping
20min (19km) to David Jones & major retail
20min (19km) to Hunter Valley Grammar School
22min (20km) to The New Maitland Hospital
23min (22km) to Wine Country's finest vineyards
50min (45km) to Newcastle's beaches
2hrs (180km) to Sydney
This is not just a homestead it is a statement of scale and lifestyle. A rare blend of riverfront majesty, rolling acres and convenience that places you at the gateway of both Maitland and Wine Country.
