Overview

Paterson River Rural Retreat with Panoramic Valley Views

Set high above the surrounding countryside and immersed in complete privacy, "Kardinia" is a truly remarkable rural holding that captures the beauty and lifestyle of country living.

Positioned on approximately 174 acres in the heart of the Lower Hunter and resting on 400 meters of Paterson River frontage, this exceptional property is ideal for livestock or horses, or as a peaceful place to raise children surrounded by fresh country air. It offers a rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle of freedom and create lifelong memories.

Tucked away at the end of a private road, Kardinia features rolling green pastures, panoramic valley views, and the quiet rhythm of rural life in perfect harmony. It is well suited for farmstay or Hipcamp ventures.

Completed in 2009 by Freedom Homes, the country homestead sits proudly along the central ridgeline, commanding breathtaking views across the Paterson and Allyn River Valleys. From sunrise to sunset, the outlook is spectacular, with picture windows and glass doors framing the ever-changing landscape in every direction. The home features nine-foot ceilings flooded with natural light and is designed for effortless family living, delivering both comfort and scale.

The home offers an inviting and spacious layout with four generous bedrooms plus a fifth bedroom or study for added flexibility. The master suite is a peaceful retreat, complete with a walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite featuring a spa bath.

A large open-plan kitchen, family, and casual dining area form the heart of the home, while formal lounge and dining rooms provide elegant spaces for entertaining. Additional rooms include a media room, dedicated study, mud room/laundry with built-in ironing station, a spacious family bathroom with clawfoot bath and double vanity, plus a powder room, completing this thoughtfully designed residence.

Further features include a steel frame, insulation, Colorbond roof, ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, a slow combustion fireplace, and a ducted vacuum system, all adding to the home's quality and practicality. The triple garage offers additional room.

Beyond the home, Kardinia is beautifully equipped for those seeking a productive rural property with outstanding lifestyle appeal. The land is divided into seven well-fenced paddocks, all carrying native pastures, with 15 gates, 6 water troughs, and 5 dams. Timber stockyards with race, crush, and holding paddocks support livestock management, with a carrying capacity of 50 head.

Most of the land is accessible by 2WD, with one 4WD track. Useful outbuildings include a large powered double garage/workshop and the original shed accommodation, ready for customization to create ideal weekend stays. There is ample space to further enhance the property with a pool, tennis court, or horse facilities, catering to equestrian dreams or farmstay plans.

Water security is a standout feature, with the Paterson River forming the property's southern boundary and providing a reliable water source. A riverside Grundfos pump transfers water to an elevated 30,000-gallon holding tank above the homestead, from where it is gravity-fed and filtered for drinking, watering gardens, and filling water troughs. Together with five farm dams, six stock troughs, and a high average rainfall of approximately 40 inches per year, the property is exceptionally well serviced for agricultural pursuits.

Kardinia is more than just a farm; it is a private piece of Australian countryside to call home. It is home to native wildlife including platypus, echidnas, wallabies, and wedge-tailed eagles, offering an authentic connection to the land and a lifestyle that feels peaceful and inspiring. The scenic hilltop setting invites long lunches with family and friends, relaxed afternoons taking in the view, and evenings spent watching the sun dip behind the valley hills.

The property remains highly accessible and well connected. It is easily reached by 2WD and offers modern conveniences including Wi-Fi, NBN access via a nearby Telstra tower, weekly garbage collection, and school bus services to the roadside gate, including access to Hunter Valley Grammar via Gresford and East Maitland.

The welcoming village of Gresford is just 5 minutes away, offering a grocer, café, pub, service station, and post office. Paterson Village and Vacy are within 20 minutes, while Maitland, Dungog, and Singleton are approximately 35-45 minutes away. The Hunter Valley's renowned vineyards are within 50 minutes. Newcastle Airport is just over an hour away, and Sydney can be reached in approximately 2.5 hours via the M1.
