Pineleigh of Duckenfield

Pineleigh of Duckenfield - Prestige Lower Hunter Rural Property
Pineleigh is located in the historic rural settlement of Duckenfield – one of the oldest settlements in the Hunter Valley. Originally a tenement holding of the adjacent famous "Duckenfield House", it retains a unique rural character with lush pasture and crops, beef and dairy cattle and horses filling the landscape. Pineleigh is 25 minutes from Newcastle CBD, 25 minutes from Williamtown Airport, 10 minutes from the M1 motorway and 5 minutes from the historic village of Morpeth.

Pineleigh homestead was established in 1998 and is set in a magnificent garden with sweeping lawns, formal rose gardens and magnificent mature Moreton Bay Figs. All gardens have irrigation systems ensuring that everything can be easily watered, in even the driest of seasons, and extensive shade trees provide plenty of shade and shelter from the wind. Water is from the urban water supply with extra supply from a water tank on the shed.

Pineleigh is a traditional country style, rendered brick homestead with cypress pine floors, and cedar French doors opening onto the wide, shady verandahs surrounding the house. There are 4 spacious bedrooms in the main house and separate guest accommodation above the attached coachouse. The house features 3m. ceilings, 3 phase ducted heating/air-conditioning, formal lounge and dining room and a large country style kitchen with bespoke cabinetry with granite benchtops. The kitchen opens onto a screened entertaining area overlooking the pool and rose gardens.

The property extends to 42 acres of rich, level, highly productive pasture which is well fenced and watered by troughs. 12 acres is above the 1 in 100 flood level. The farm is currently being used for beef and is also well suited to horses. There is a large machinery shed with a lock up storage area and good access for heavy vehicles. Extensive tree planting provides plenty of shelter for stock and there is a 4 hectare hardwood timber plantation which is mature and provides grazing and shelter.
