A rarely available, stunning old country home, evocative of earlier farming gentry era. Elms Hall captures the elegance of that time, but has a homely farmhouse ambience.
From original land grant in 1828 of 2,650 acres, only 101 acres of the most productive land remains with Elms Hall homestead today.
With many original features, including cedar details, cedar ceiling lining boards, deep skirtings, original stained glass windows and doors, original door and window fittings, high ceilings, large rooms, with the more recent additions including new kitchen and the family room extension, and new bathrooms and dressing room, designed to be in keeping with the era of the home.
The house has been rewired, re plumbed, and re roofed over the past 15 years of current ownership.
Exuding a mellow country ambience, this property has tremendous appeal.
There is a frustration in the market for such properties, especially in the Hunter region, there just aren’t enough gracious old homes on productive acreage, with river front , within commuting distance to Maitland and Newcastle, to satisfy the market.

The renovated and extended old dairy provides separate accommodation close to the day yards, and an office facility,and would be excellent accommodation for an on site attendant if foaling paddocks were used.
