Sometimes, the next chapter is about bringing more of your life together.
Space for the children to grow. Meaningful work that keeps your boots by the back door. Family, schools and everyday services within easy reach.

Set on the banks of the Hunter River, just minutes from Branxton, this exceptional property brings the rewards of a productive farm together with the convenience of town. Deep, rich black soils, abundant irrigation water and a beautifully renovated farmhouse create a place where you can put down roots—or carry on doing what you love, a little closer to the people and services that matter.

For a young family, imagine afternoons that begin at the school gate and end in the paddock, collecting the children for dinner as the sun settles over the flats. For those coming off a larger holding, there is the reassurance of good country, substantial infrastructure and a farm you can appreciate from the moment you walk it.

With more than 1.7 kilometres of frontage to the Hunter River and Black Creek, these productive river flats have been pasture improved over generations. Divided into four paddocks, they have been both worked by the owners and leased to neighbours, offering flexibility in how you make the property your own. A 103-megalitre irrigation licence and established underground mains support the farming operation.

Currently leased for approximately $70,000 per annum, there may be an opportunity to continue the arrangement or resume farming. Keep your hands in the country, enjoy an income, or plan a gradual transition into your next chapter.

At the heart of it all is a farmhouse with the warmth and character that make country homes so enduring. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, it retains beautiful features from its circa-1920 origins: polished hardwood floors, tall ornate ceilings and original bedroom fireplaces.

The Hamptons-style kitchen pairs thick stone benchtops with European appliances and twin ovens, opening into the combined living and dining area. Beyond, a generous enclosed entertaining room overlooks the new swimming pool. With an outdoor kitchen and space for both dining and lounging, this is where family lunches linger, friends gather and an ordinary afternoon becomes the part of the day you look forward to most.

Four spacious bedrooms are complemented by two new ensuites and a third bathroom incorporating a European laundry. Reverse-cycle air-conditioning and a wood fire keep the home comfortable through the seasons, along with an inground pool while a substantial 20kW solar system and battery storage support its everyday energy needs.

The infrastructure reflects a property equipped for real country life. A double carport with storage and a bathroom, a five-bay machinery shed, a 17m x 20m hay shed and a 16m x 35m machinery shed provide extensive space for equipment, vehicles, workshops and pursuits. Four hardwood stables cater for horses, while the revamped dairy offers possibilities for a home office or a separate space to work, subject to any required approvals.

Branxton, the Hunter Expressway and Wine Country are only minutes away, with Newcastle's beaches approximately an hour from the gate.

A morning on the farm. An afternoon with the family. The freedom to stay connected to both.
