588, 590 & 592 Moonabung Road Vacy NSW 2421

Set high in the Moonabung Ranges, in the picturesque Hunter Valley, Banjos is a private lifestyle estate offering peace, privacy, luxury living and income. Located just two hours from Sydney, and a short drive from the charming villages of Vacy, Paterson & Gresford, this 20 acre property (across three separate titles) is one of the Hunter Valley's most enduring and admired retreats.

The estate features three architecturally designed, self-contained lodges and private recreational facilities, thoughtfully positioned to maximise outlook and seclusion:

• Brumby's Run Lodge – Four-bedroom lodge with king-sized bedrooms, each with private ensuite, including one with disabled access

• Clancy's Lodge – Three-bedroom lodge with ensuites to all rooms

• Swagman's Rest Lodge – Two bedroom lodge, each with private ensuites and one with disabled access.

Each lodge is finished to a high standard, with spacious living areas with cathedral ceilings, slow-combustion fireplaces, fully equipped kitchens, BBQs, wide timber decks that capture sweeping views, and reverse-cycle air conditioning in bedrooms. In total, the property sleeps up to 24 guests in comfort and style, catering to couples, families, large groups and retreat bookings.

At the centre of the estate is a private recreation complex, available exclusively for guests. These facilities include a full-sized tennis court, nine-hole mini golf course, indoor spa and sauna, billiards, table tennis, giant chessboard, swings, adventure playground, plus bathroom, kitchenette, lounge chairs and outdoor furniture. Walking tracks meander through the surrounding bush, alive with an abundance of native wildlife.

This retreat is completely off-grid, with grid connected solar, rainwater collection systems, underground power and communications, and quality internal roadways. Banjos has operated successfully for over 20 years as a high-quality eco-retreat, with a strong base of loyal, repeat clientele, and glowing guest reviews on TripAdvisor. Banjos is suited for continued operation as a lifestyle business, or could be adapted into an incredible private compound for family gatherings, community or religious organisations, school or company retreats.
