Held within the same family since around 1980, this much loved Buchanan property is offered to the market for the very first time, set on approximately 5 acres and featuring an architect designed, craftsman built brick home with a Colorbond roof. Showcasing outstanding rural infrastructure, excellent shedding and privacy from the road, the property also boasts a truly unique and irreplaceable feature, the original St Luke's Church positioned within the grounds, adding a remarkable sense of history and character. With direct Hunter Expressway exposure, this exceptional holding presents a rare opportunity for lifestyle buyers, truck operators or equine enthusiasts seeking space, versatility and something genuinely special.
Set well back from the road in Buchanan, this fantastic location delivers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Kurri Kurri is just 10 minutes away, while immediate access to the Hunter Expressway places Maitland, the Hunter Valley vineyards, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and major transport routes all within easy reach. The expressway proximity also opens the door to a broad buyer market seeking space, access and infrastructure for trucking or horse related uses.
A major highlight of the property is the extensive shedding on offer, providing amazing access for heavy vehicles. An attached double garage provides internal access to the home, while the enormous standalone engineered shed is a serious asset. Measuring approximately 24m x 10.4m with an impressive 5.6m eave height and 15 degree roof pitch, it is constructed with heavy duty 152 x 127 RSJs and equipped with heavy duty three phase power. Featuring two extra high roller doors and an additional standard roller door, the shed easily accommodates multiple vehicles, trucks or machinery. A separate machinery shed provides further storage, and with a scale that would likely exceed $200,000 to replicate, this infrastructure is ideally suited to trucking, machinery storage or large scale hobby use.
Arriving at the home, you're greeted by lush lawns, established gardens and a wide wraparound front verandah that immediately sets a welcoming tone. Stepping inside, the home reveals premium grade brush box timber flooring and soft carpet underfoot, vertical blinds throughout and the comfort of Daikin eight zone ducted air conditioning.
The lounge sits just off the entry, offering a generous space highlighted by ornate cornices and twin pendant lights. The kitchen is well appointed with 20mm granite benchtops, a breakfast bar, a tiled splashback, a dual sink and quality appliances, including a Westinghouse oven and dishwasher, an Omega electric cooktop and an integrated rangehood.
Flowing through to the living and dining zone, a striking pitched ceiling and square set cornices enhance the sense of space, while a Norseman fireplace creates warmth and atmosphere. A glass sliding door opens directly to the rear verandah, connecting indoors with the outdoors.
The main bedroom features ornate cornices, a ceiling fan and a walk-in robe, complemented by a private ensuite with a vanity, a walk-in shower and a toilet. Bedrooms two and three include built-in wardrobes, while bedroom four offers flexibility as a guest room or study. The main bathroom caters easily to family living with a built-in bath, a walk-in shower, a twin vanity and a separate WC.
Out the back, a covered verandah looks across the expansive yard, taking in sweeping rural views and the charming presence of St Luke's Church, a truly special backdrop that makes this property unlike any other.
