Some properties are bought for the life they offer today. Others are bought for what they might become tomorrow. This property gives you both.

Spread across approximately 22 acres of mostly cleared, usable country, this is an unusually versatile Hunter Valley holding — a genuine rural lifestyle property with established horse infrastructure, two separate residences (house and granny flat) and the added attraction of longer-term subdivision potential, subject to Council approval.

For the horse buyer, it is remarkably well equipped. Established paddocks and fencing, a 40m x 20m arena, round yard, dam and shedding provide an excellent foundation for horses, livestock or a serious hobby farm. Wide open areas give the property a sense of space that is increasingly difficult to find, while established trees and pockets of natural bushland create privacy, shelter and a beautiful country backdrop.

At the heart of the property is an established three-bedroom country residence, complemented by a completely separate two-bedroom self-contained secondary dwelling/granny flat. Together they provide five bedrooms across two homes, opening up a multitude of possibilities — extended family, guest accommodation, rental income, farm accommodation or simply the luxury of having genuine separation when you need home and office apart.

For the astute buyer, however, there is another layer to the opportunity.

The property carries a combination of RU5 Village (approx 5 acres with 750m2 minimum lot size) and RU2 Rural Landscape zoning, creating potential to investigate subdivision into multiple allotments, subject to Cessnock City Council and the usual planning approvals. A previous DA was also approved for an additional three-bedroom residence. This all makes the property particularly compelling as a land-banking proposition. Rather than purchasing vacant land and carrying it while pursuing future approvals, here you have established improvements and the potential for holding income from day one, while you explore what may ultimately be possible.

And importantly, none of that future potential comes at the expense of the lifestyle.
There are acres to ride, space for children to disappear outdoors for the afternoon, room for sheds, machinery, animals and projects, and enough separation to feel genuinely rural — yet you remain conveniently connected to Cessnock and surrounding towns, with the vineyards, cellar doors and restaurants of Hunter Valley Wine Country only around 20 kilometres away.

The property features:
• Approximately 22 acres of predominantly cleared and usable land
• Three-bedroom main country residence
• Separate, fully self-contained two-bedroom secondary dwelling/granny flat
• Five bedrooms and two bathrooms across the two properties
• Excellent potential for rental holding income
• Town water
• Established 40m x 20m horse arena
• Round yard and extensive equine infrastructure
• Multiple fenced paddocks
• Dam and established natural bushland
• Shedding and storage
• Large undercover car accommodation
• Chicken coops and additional rural improvements
• Mixed zoning
• Potential to investigate subdivision into multiple allotments STCA

Buy it for the horses. Buy it for the space. Buy it for the income. Or buy it for what 22 acres this close to everything might one day become.

This is an increasingly rare kind of property that makes sense both emotionally and commercially — somewhere you can enjoy from the day you arrive, while keeping one eye firmly on the future.
