Laguna NSW 2325

Imagine an authentic Australiana homestead set within a private, pristine valley, surrounded by natural bushland and the breathtaking beauty of Yengo National Park which is a World Heritage area. Spanning approximately 65.76 hectares (162.5 acres), this remarkable rural holding offers an exceptional blend of gently undulating valley-floor pasture, rising timbered hills and abundant native flora and fauna. Peaceful, private and wonderfully scenic, it is the ideal country escape from the pace of city life — a place to sit back, breathe deeply and take in the serenity from every direction.

Dating back more than 80 years, the beautifully maintained early-settler-style homestead is rich in history and full of timeless country character. Wide wraparound verandahs create an inviting first impression, while the welcoming interiors feature high ceilings, hardwood timber floors and a striking sandstone fireplace. Light-filled and generously proportioned, the home includes 2 bedrooms plus an optional 3rd bedroom/study/sunroom, they all open directly onto the verandahs, with the master bedroom enjoying desirable northern and eastern aspects. A country-inspired kitchen and bathroom complete the homestead, blending period charm with thoughtful modern touches.

A gorgeous timber and corrugated iron barn add further appeal and versatility, currently used by the owners as a welcoming space for visiting family, guests and workshops. It offers excellent potential for workshops, creative pursuits or storage for farming equipment. An additional farm shed provides practical space for machinery and rural supplies. Water is well catered for, with independent storage tanks servicing the house, barn and sheds — five tanks in total with an approximate combined capacity of 65,000 litres. The property also features two dams, an ephemeral creek line known as Wallabadah Creek, and a beautiful billabong that provides water for native wildlife and a natural swimming hole.

While not currently carrying livestock, it offers excellent scope for cattle, horses or other rural pursuits, with approximately 60 arable pastured acres. There is also the option to purchase the adjoining 40 acres, adding a further approximate 15–20 arable pastured acres. For buyers interested in acquiring both parcels, the combined holding would exceed 200 acres (81.97 hectares) and may offer potential to subdivide into two 100-acre lots, subject to Cessnock City Council DA approval.

The current owners currently run a successful Hip camp site which provides a passive lifestyle income stream. Opportunities of this caliber are rarely offered.

Now is your chance to secure a truly remarkable acreage retreat in Yengo National Park.

Set within the renowned Wollombi Valley, a region rich in Indigenous culture and early Australian history. The historic Great North Road leads into this stunning valley, with the Laguna Trading Post, historic Wollombi village and a warm, vibrant local community all within reach.

Laguna is located approximately 70 minutes from the M1 Wahroonga interchange, Newcastle and the Central Coast, with the property positioned within Yango National Park approximately a further 20 minutes’ drive away.
