Amidst sprawling pastoral holdings, with peaceful views to distant hilly ranges, you'll find 'Wyoming' waiting for you.
This is a truly unique property, rarely offered but always in demand: 10 glorious elevated acres with a 100-year-old, 3-bedroom ripple iron farmhouse ready to live in, and 250 meters of river frontage, all which you can call your own.
"Wyoming" is only 20 minutes from the delightful village of Murrurundi where you will find cool cafes, large supermarket, recently upgraded hospital, General Practice Medical, Primary schools, galleries supported by an active and vibrant arts community, and award-winning gin distillery. The short drive from Murrurundi takes you past famous Australian thoroughbred horse studs, into farming country with sheep and cattle, and magnificent vistas of the Upper Hunter's Big Sky Country.
The property is idyllic and secluded, yet not isolated. Friendly neighbours reside on the vast 8,000- acre cattle station 'Isis Hills'; their homestead is half a kilometre away. On the other side, a 2,000-acre cattle farm, owned by ex-Sydney business people who continue to work remotely from their home, 1 kilometre from Wyoming.
Built over 100 years ago, the homestead is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom ripple iron home of classic colonial character, high ceiling and original cypress pine floors. The generous living/dining space connects to a sizeable country kitchen (6 burner gas/electric SMEG cooktop and oven). A large central living hub, with slow combustion burner and air-conditioning, ensuring your are comfortable all year round. This is relaxed, casual living at its best.
A wide a hallway flows to three good-sized bedrooms and a large family bathroom, recently updated, with claw-foot bath.
Waking to the song of magpies and kookaburras' call, listening to the swallows feeding their newborn chicks outside the bedroom window, all adds to all delights of living in this wonderful area. And the wild young king parrots will let you know when they're hungry by tapping on the kitchen window , asking to be fed.
There is a large terrace, great for outdoor entertaining or alfresco meals. With access directly from the home, you have relaxed and casual living.
Adjoining is a charming studio that can easily provide guest accommodation, a private retreat or an artists studio; whatever you desire.
The home is wrapped with a wide verandah with multiple places and drink in expansive views across your paddocks to the high country beyond.
The garden offers a wonderland with established lawns, a multitude of fruit-bearing trees - persimmon, feijoa, apricot, cherry, lemon, orange, quince, and olives - that yield a tasty bounty, and a large aviary. Children, grandchildren and garden lovers alike will adore what 'Wyoming' provides.
Beyond the house paddock, there are 5 paddocks, all fully fenced. There are level areas for the horse enthusiast, and gentle slopes to walk and explore that the flow to the highlight of the property - its own river frontage. 250 meters the beautiful Isis River is your own personal playground.
