552 Bylong Valley Way, Mudgee NSW 2850

Looking for a tree change with rolling hills, stunning escarpments and a cozy Australian Colonial farmhouse? Then "Waterdale Homestead" is the place you've been dreaming of.

Since its over-hall, it is truly amazing with its new open plan kitchen with a separate formal dining room if desired. New 900mm chefs ovens, stone benchtops, new pantry, new bathroom, hot water system, new shaded BBQ area, fly screen windows and doors, air conditioning, new carpet and painted inside and out. It has been empathetically restored to make it modern and functional while retaining its beautiful Colonial charm. Retaining the original copper just in case you want to ask the kids to boil the washing (you can reveal the washing machine later).

Extra space to relax on the wrap around veranda as you follow the sun or happily sit in the shade with your cup of tea or stronger, listening to the sounds of the bush with King Parrots, Eastern Rosella's and Gala's.

With its beautiful rock escarpments it was the ideal location for "Spider and the Rose" an Australian feature film in 1994 staring Ruth Cracknell.

It offers 84.12 (over 200 acres) of freehold land ranging from alluvial flats with permanent spring water from rocky waterhole creek perfect for running stock. It offers timbered hills and rocky outcrops creating the ideal setting for adventure and tranquility.

4 x 22 000 litre tanks provide all necessary water year round along with its original inground brick water tank and outdoor shower water tank as back up. 8km of new fencing and gates with new cement water troughs for isolated paddocks. Landscape has been executed to perfection and including a stunning dressage arena for the horse enthusiast, stables, yards with a loading ramp, extended undercover machinery shed and chook pens ensure the farm is setup for immediate use to provide all life's wants.

The shearing/woolshed/art studio is its ace card and a wonderful surprise offering endless possibilities. Currently a peaceful art studio to sit and relax or with your own creativity, transformed into the farms second listed residence already on title providing farm income year round through farm stay accommodation.

Situated on the Bylong Valley Way only 5km off the Castlereagh highway, the location of this property makes it a very ideal rural weekend getaway 2.5 hours from Western Sydney or permanent farm only a short drive to major town centres with its Farmer Markets and quaffable wineries, schools and shops.
