Dream Acres: Charming farm-stay and equestrian escape hits the market in Krambach
A picturesque small farm known as Dream Acres – complete with a charming homestead, farm-stay accommodation and equestrian facilities – has hit the market in the tranquil countryside of Krambach, NSW, with an asking price of $1.78 million.
Built with love and bursting with character across almost eight hectares at 84 Kings Road, about a 3.5-hour drive north of Sydney, the property offers a rare blend of lifestyle and productivity, boasting manicured grounds, seven fenced paddocks, a large billabong, and 800 metres of frontage to Khoribakh Creek.
It’s a self-contained and secluded retreat ideal for those seeking both serenity and purpose, whether that’s farming, hosting guests, or simply living off the land.
“It is a beautiful spot, with great established trees and plenty of water. It’s a real lifestyle property … it could go either way if someone wanted to live there and have it to themselves, or choose to share it. The choice is theirs,” says Matt Burnett of Ray White Manning Valley.
The four-bedroom homestead is located just two hours north of Newcastle and surrounded by rolling countryside, yet it is just 25 minutes from the beach. It blends eclectic charm with modern comfort, backed by solar power, and features a country-style kitchen, Hampton-inspired bathroom, hardwood decks, and a large pool and spa.
Adding to its appeal, the property is council-approved for group accommodation and farm experiences. Facilities include a gorgeous American-style barn, games room, campfire area, pizza oven, and disability-accessible amenities perfect for sleeping 20 guests at once.
A tepee with heating and cooking facilities, eclectic caravan fit-outs and Japanese-style sleep capsules create a point of difference for those looking for a unique experience in Kranbach, a small country village serviced by a pub, service station, a cafe and a fire station.
Owners Spud and Carla have run Dream Acres as a retreat and have hosted weddings and large gatherings catered for in the gorgeous barn. But the property also has the potential to pump up farm production, or lie low with unlimited firewood for campfires under the stars.
“Should someone want to come in there and turn up the production side of things they can definitely do so, whether that’s through cropping or finishing cattle, or alternatively, they may want to come in and enjoy the lifestyle of switching off and being able to hide from everyone,” says Burnett.
Guests can enjoy the irrigated farm’s thriving food forest with medicinal plants, an orchard, vegetable gardens, and outdoor recreation spaces, making it ideal for income-generating ventures.
Equestrian enthusiasts are also catered for, with approved training and clinic facilities, a riding arena, tack room, and trails, all surrounded by forested areas and open paddocks, currently home to horses and alpacas.
Burnett says Dream Acres is surrounded by water, with its boundary backing onto a beautiful creek for the most part, combined with a lagoon on its left side.
“It’s a little hidden pocket … and the property has an irrigation license to go with it,” adds Burnett.
