The Property

Incredible rural holding of diverse potential.

A rare point-of-difference property with facilities unparalleled in this market, across ~9 hectares of picturesque Hunter Valley countryside.

Ellington is a landmark Hunter Valley estate set amongst the grand estates and fertile pastures of Roughit, Mitchells Flat and Glendon, on the northern side of the Hunter River — one of the most picturesque parts of the rural Hunter, yet only an hour’s drive to the beaches of Port Stephens and Newcastle.

A fully licensed veterinary hospital

The property features a fully licensed and operational small and large animal veterinary hospital with state-of-the-art amenities and an entirely separate commercial access, keeping the main residence completely private. For a veterinary professional seeking a practice with lifestyle attached — or an operator looking for a facility ready from day one — this is a genuinely rare find. More on the hospital →

Zoned for a second (third) dwelling

The property is zoned to allow for a second (third) dwelling, alongside the existing homestead and cottage. This opens the door to multi-generational family living, staff or locum accommodation, or additional income through lease or rental.

Lease the existing facilities for passive income

The existing facilities can also be leased to generate passive income, offering new owners the flexibility to enjoy the property while receiving rental income.

Residences and outbuildings

Beyond the automatic gates, the luxurious farmhouse offers four generous bedrooms, open-plan living and two large living spaces, a cosy wood fire and ducted air conditioning throughout, with deep verandahs framing gorgeous views over the creek and valley. Garaging is exceptional — a double garage plus room for up to eight more vehicles and the caravan or boat — and a separate, fully self-contained one-bedroom cottage adds flexible guest, family or income accommodation.

Grounds, equine and infrastructure

The grounds are equally impressive: an equestrian arena, stockyards and land fully fenced into paddocks of varying sizes; two large air-conditioned stables (currently the Tamaruke breeding facility, with operational kitchens and clinic areas, and readily converted to horse stables or other uses); a double-storey shed for additional kennels; and a four-bay machinery shed. Water security is outstanding — ample tank storage plus a substantial 7-megalitre dam that keeps the grounds lush — while an automatic backup generator ensures continuity throughout.

This property is offered as a private sale, by appointment only. It truly must be seen to be believed.
