36 Acre Hideaway Hunter Valley Cottage

Our 36-acre property features a charming 5-bedroom cottage, nestled amongst hardwood forests with stunning rural views, yet only minutes from local shops and the world-renowned Hunter Valley wineries.
Located in Branxton, in the heart of the picturesque Hunter Valley, we are under 2 hours’ drive from the Sydney CBD, just off the new Hunter Expressway, and 45 minutes from Newcastle.
A 600m winding dirt driveway leads you into the property providing seclusion from the main road.
The cottage has been lovingly updated while retaining its original charm. It is situated on an elevated position with breathtaking views of the sprawling pastures.
The extensive property provides a quiet and serene space for you to relax and unwind.
Sit by the fire pit, toast marshmallows, and enjoy the views across the valley and local wildlife. A starter amount of firewood is provided from May to August. There is plenty of kindling on the property.
Watch the horses gallop around the paddocks, soaring native birds and kangaroos hop across the pastures.
An old Army shed, farm shed, horse stables and four dams add more character to your views. At the front gate are the remnants of previous cattle yards from when the property was used for cattle farming.
A cubby house, climbing ropes (treetop style), and swings provide outdoor activity for the young adventurers. There is plenty of space to ride a bike if you want to bring one along.
You have use of the cottage and immediate yard only (fenced area, play equipment, firepit). Access to the property is via a shared driveway.
Guests are not allowed into the shed, army hut, stables, and adjoining paddocks or dams as this is a working farm. There will be horse riders at the property who have access to the paddocks on occasion as we provide agistment. We do have free range ducks and geese on the property who are very inquisitive and friendly.
