Property Information
An exceptional Hunter Valley estate — bringing together wine, hospitality, accommodation and an extraordinary way of life across approximately 100 acres.
At the end of Sweetwater Road, RidgeView unfolds across beautiful Hunter Valley countryside — a mature vineyard, four private guest cottages, purpose-built restaurant and cellar door, country residence, four dams and an exceptional 20-megalitre PID water allocation. With its own lake and distant mountain ranges framing the landscape, it is a world unto itself — the kind of estate you need only leave if you desire.
Imagine waking to the stillness of the country, coffee outside before wandering through the garden or vines. Across the estate, guests wake beside the lake, lunch begins at the restaurant and visitors arrive at the cellar door. By afternoon, you're home by the pool, opening a bottle grown from the landscape around you. There is something wonderfully indulgent about being at the centre of it all, without necessarily having to do it all yourself.
THE ESTATE
Established gardens, irrigated fruit trees and four dams are woven through the property, the largest forming a magnificent lake at its heart. A 20-megalitre PID water allocation provides substantial water security, while views stretch towards the Brokenback, Watagan and Barrington ranges.
THE RESIDENCE
Privately removed from the guest and hospitality areas, the Stibbard Homes-built residence offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a versatile loft, open-plan interiors, enclosed sunroom and its own saltwater pool and entertaining area.
For those wishing to live on the estate themselves, the potential for a second dwelling (STCA) opens another possibility — retain the existing residence as manager's accommodation and build a new principal residence of your own elsewhere on the property.
THE COTTAGES
Four self-contained cottages settle privately around the lake — two with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and two intimate one-bedroom retreats. Generous decks, spas and sauna facilities are complemented by a guest swimming pool and tennis court, creating a private country escape where mornings begin beside the water and afternoons need very little planning.
THE RESTAURANT
Purpose-built by Stibbard Homes, the restaurant opens to a broad alfresco deck overlooking the vineyard. Operate it yourself or place it in the hands of someone exceptional and enjoy the rather lovely prospect of having a favourite restaurant at the end of your own driveway.
THE VINEYARD & CELLAR DOOR
The vineyard is one of, if not the, defining assets of RidgeView, with around 22 acres under vine across mature plantings of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chambourcin and Pinot Gris. With a proven pedigree extending well beyond the estate itself, fruit grown here has produced premium award-winning RidgeView wines, including its Effen Hill Shiraz, and has also contributed to Andrew Thomas' award-winning Sweetwater Ridge Shiraz.
A dedicated cellar door and private tasting room leave the next custodian free to continue that story themselves, collaborate with others or place it in experienced hands.
THE LOCATION
Within easy reach of Sydney and Newcastle, RidgeView is beautifully placed for the weekend escape. Guests can dine and taste on the estate, then venture out to discover the Hunter Valley's celebrated restaurants, award-winning cellar doors, concert venues and experiences, all close by. Around an hour from Newcastle and two hours from Sydney, it feels wonderfully removed without ever feeling far away.
Substantial machinery shedding and insulated wine storage complete an estate where you can immerse yourself entirely or simply live beautifully while everything else unfolds around you.
Live here. Let the rest unfold around you.
