19 McKensey Street

Set on over an elevated acre (4,600sqm) at the end of a quiet Nulkaba cul-de-sac, this five-bedroom residence now carries something far more powerful than views alone DA approval for a four-lot subdivision, opening the door to staged development, multiple income streams, or a long-term landbank play in one of the Hunter's most tightly held pockets. The existing home is already doing the heavy lifting. Architecturally designed with energy efficiency in mind and presented turnkey, it's ready to operate immediately as premium holiday accommodation. Think long weekends and the steady demand that comes from being moments to the vineyards, restaurants and concert venues of Wine Country with Valley Brewhouse within walking distance and the region's leading schools just minutes away. But it's the approval that changes the conversation. Four lots. Multiple dwellings (STCA within the approval framework). The ability to create a boutique accommodation offering, sell down parcels, or hold and benefit from future growth. In a market where supply is constrained and tourism demand continues to strengthen, particularly in the short-stay sector, this is the kind of asset that can be shaped to suit your strategy whether that's yield, capital growth, or both. The land itself is fully serviced with town water and sewer, fenced with post and rail and dog-proof netting, and thoughtfully laid out with provision for further garaging or infrastructure as the site evolves. The setting remains quiet and private, yet connected two hours to Sydney, one hour to Newcastle, and right on the edge of the Hunter Valley's beating heart. You can enjoy it as it stands. Or you can unlock what it's been approved to become. Opportunities with both immediate income potential and approved future upside in this location are rarely offered and even more rarely executed well. Inspection by private appointment.
