10 Riverside Street, Bolwarra, NSW 2320

It’s not often you get a chance to secure a prime building block on the edge of the Hunter River in one of Maitland’s most sought-after suburbs. But this one-of-a-kind Bolwarra property offers all that and more, with room to build your dream waterfront home and indulge in more traditional rural pursuits as well. Located on a quiet riverside street on the northern outskirts of Bolwarra, the versatile 4.52 acre property (1.83 hectares) looks like your average residential allotment at first glance, sitting alongside other newly established homes. But once you explore beyond the elevated building envelope at the front of the block, you’ll discover a tranquil rural lifestyle property with endless opportunities. The block slopes gently down towards the banks of the Hunter River and runs parallel to the waterway for approximately 280m, with a large rectangular parcel of land separating the river’s edge from the rear boundaries of neighbouring properties. This area offers a host of potential uses for those interested in setting up a hobby farm, creating a thriving market garden or orchard, or dividing the space into paddocks to house horses or other livestock. Those who enjoy spending their spare time on the water can also make the most of the unrivalled river frontage to enjoy pastimes such as kayaking, fishing and swimming, or simply revel in the tranquility of the waterside position. An established stand of trees along the edge of the river ensures added privacy for the landholders, while still providing tantalising glimpses of the picturesque waterway. The building block at the front of the property offers an ideal home site and is fully serviced with access to town water, sewage, gas and underground electricity. Its elevated aspect offers landowners the chance to design a two-storey or split level home that maximises the many natural assets of this site and captures the picturesque views over the river towards the flood plains of Oakhampton and the surrounding rural countryside. You could also opt to make the most of the legwork completed by the block’s current owners, with plans for a Hillman Homes design specifically tailored to the lot, including the full costings, available to view. The property is ideally located in the family-friendly suburb of Bolwarra, close to a range of schools, sporting facilities and recreational areas. The property is located just a few minutes’ drive from the popular Bolwarra Public School, and the nearby Bolwarra Sporting Complex and Bolwarra Heights Public Nature Reserve. The property is within a short drive of the charming semi-rural village of Largs, where you can enjoy a bite to eat or a quiet drink at the award-winning Bushrangers Bar and Brasserie, while in the other direction the historic riverside suburb of Lorn has a popular shopping precinct filled with charming cafes, interesting boutiques and various essential services. A choice of larger shopping facilities and supermarkets are available across the other side of the Hunter River in Maitland, where the revitalised Levee precinct offers a range of boutique retail and commercial services, as well as a growing reputation as a culinary hot spot. The regional shopping and entertainment destination of Stockland Green Hills Shopping Centre is just 10 minutes away, with a wide variety of smaller retailers, national chains, department stores and food outlets anchored by David Jones and a HOYTS cinema complex, while an abundance of medical services including the new Maitland Hospital now under construction at Metford, are easily accessed from Bolwarra. The central location of the property also puts it within reach of the region’s major tourism destinations, with the beaches of Newcastle and the vineyards of Pokolbin less than a 45 minute drive in different directions, while a trip down the M1 motorway will have you in Sydney in around two hours.
