Historic site with lifestyle potential for sale in Hunter Valley

Paxton NSW, September 2024 – A rare development and historical preservation opportunity in the Hunter Valley is now for sale.

Commercial Collective in conjunction with Ray White Commercial Western Sydney are pleased to present an extraordinary development opportunity at 53-63 Millfield Road, Paxton. Nestled between the scenic Watagan and Broken Back mountains in the heart of the Hunter Region, this expansive 8.06-hectare* property is now for sale via Expressions of Interest.

The site comprises two lots and features 234 metres* of frontage along Millfield Road. Offering an ideal canvas for a rural lifestyle development, the property presents the opportunity for buyers to design and build their dream home in a tranquil countryside setting but also has the potential for rezoning and residential subdivision (STCA), enabling developers to tap into the growing demand for lifestyle properties in the area.

“We are seeing strong interest in the Hunter Region for lifestyle developments and new residential communities,” said Steve Briant, Sales & Leasing Executive, Commercial Collective. “This site offers significant potential with its expansive size and tranquil setting.”

In addition to the residential possibilities, Lot 4 of the site features a striking 1,690 sqm* heritage building, offering a unique opportunity to repurpose one of Australia’s best-preserved colliery sites. Potential uses include converting the structure into a function centre, visitor accommodation, cellar door or a stunning private residence, allowing buyers to blend historical charm with contemporary living.

“The heritage building adds a special dimension to this property,” said Dane Crawford, CEO, Commercial Collective. “It’s rare to find a site that offers both development potential and the opportunity to preserve and repurpose such an important piece of Australian history. Buyers have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to create something remarkable here.”

The property also holds an existing Development Approval for tourist and visitor accommodation on Lot 4, providing flexibility for buyers seeking commercial or hospitality ventures.
