Is it a rural haven you crave, or a boutique accommodation business looking for your vision to further capitalise, or a horse-ready property where you can pursue your passion?

All and more is on offer at ‘Runnymeade,' a stunning property set on the slopes, minutes from Murrurundi in the Upper Hunter Valley… and waiting for you.

From the sandstone columned entrance, to the 11-foot pressed metal ceilings, ‘Runnymeade’ echoes the grace and charm of the classic Australian homestead, under a ‘big sky’ that gives the feeling of being connected to Heaven.

Built in 1900, and relocated to it’s current home in 1998, ‘Runnymeade’ is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom weatherboard home of character and substance. The formal sitting/dining connects to the sizeable country kitchen (complete with Rayburn wood-burning stove) and opens to an elegant wraparound verandah that drinks in expansive views across your paddocks to the high country beyond.

The living areas are beautiful, light-filled spaces that lift your spirits, giving views of the beautiful surrounding countryside under the canopy of that extraordinary sky, transporting you from the everyday to the wondrous.
In addition is a self-contained studio cottage, filled with rustic charm and romance, currently providing a profitable income stream as a bed and breakfast. It could easily provide guest accommodation, a private retreat or an artists studio; whatever you desire.

Beyond the studio, for the horse enthusiast, there is a 4-stable complex with tack room, feed room, fenced paddocks (currently being used for agistment) and plenty of shed storage.

The gardens provide a wonderland with established lawns, duck pond, and a multitude of fruit-bearing trees that yield a tasty bounty. Children, grandchildren and garden lovers alike will adore what ‘Runnymeade’ offers.

You will be impressed by the presentation of this beautiful 29-acre holding that is quintessentially Australian country life.
