110 Old North Road

Perfectly positioned along one of the region's prettiest tourist trails surrounded by vineyards, wineries, guesthouses and restaurants this remarkable 25-acre estate offers an extremely rare opportunity to secure not just land, but a lifestyle in the heart of the Hunter Valley. Beautifully landscaped from boundary to boundary, the property captures breathtaking vistas from the Brokenback Range to the Barrington Ranges. From the moment you open the iron gates at the front, a sense of arrival takes hold. A winding driveway leads through a boutique vineyard and past a tranquil lake with pergola an idyllic spot for a long lunch, sunset drinks, family picnics or even wedding ceremonies for which it was originally built. This property has a DA approval already in place for a substantial main residence, a dual occupancy building and a 6 bed, 6 bath tourist accommodation with pool. DA has also been granted to reinstate one of the dams to 12 megalitre size, further enhancing the views from the main residence. The groundwork has been meticulously prepared. All that's left to do is choose everything that makes it your home. The whole site would also be ideal as a wedding venue if you're more commercially minded. The estate boasts an impressive level of infrastructure, including underground power, a state-of-the-art irrigation system, taps throughout, formed driveways, and access to four megalitres of irrigation water from the Hunter River via the Wine Country PID. The substantial underground pumphouse and irrigation infrastructure throughout the property is notable. A striking double-storey barn with mains power complete with internal framing and staircase for temporary quarters sits proudly on the rise, framed by sandstone retaining walls and with an underground 120,000 litre concrete tank, capable of serving all buildings on the property. The proposed main house site is something truly special. Privately set behind tall hedgerows and shaded by mature trees, it offers sweeping views across rolling vineyards to the distant ranges. Underground power conduit runs right to the site. The 200m2 fully enclosed organic vegetable garden with raised hardwood beds, served with automatic irrigation and lighting is already in place, ready for those who dream of true paddock-to-plate living or are looking for their own family food bowl. Adding to the charm is an established orchard with 26 fruiting trees (apples, apricots, cherries, figs, feijoas, mulberries, lemons, oranges, plums and peaches) the essence of country abundance. The 6.5-acre boutique vineyard features Shiraz, Chardonnay, Verdelho, Pinot Noir and a few treasured rows of Black Muscat. Whether you tend the vines yourself or lease them to a local winemaker, the romance of vineyard living is yours to enjoy. This is a property for those who value privacy, views, and see the value in the last twenty years and hundreds of thousands of dollars that has been put into this property to make it perfect to build on now. Premium lifestyle holdings of this calibre are tightly held in the Hunter Valley. Here is your chance to secure one of its most captivating parcels and create something exceptional.
