An environmentally sustainable sanctuary in the heart of wine country
Set on the fringe of the wine and tourist village of Broke, Four Gates is an extraordinary 50-acre farmlet where thoughtful design, environmental stewardship and natural beauty come together in rare harmony. Surrounded by mountains and bordered by more than 450m of Wollombi Brook, this is a property that feels both grounded and expansive.
The land itself is park-like and picturesque, mostly cleared and dotted with mature shade trees. Water is a defining feature with a stock dam, pond, PID (Broke Fordwich Private Irrigation District annual water allocation of 3 megalitres) and a lake-sized natural water body forming a striking aesthetic centrepiece and a thriving sanctuary for birdlife. For avid birdwatchers and nature lovers, it is nothing short of paradise.
Every element of Four Gates has been carefully and deliberately planned. Sustainability, permaculture principles, solar passiveness and self-sufficiency sit at the core of the property's design, balanced with a sense of practical luxury and ease of living. The modern country home blends seamlessly into the landscape, designed to sit lightly on the land while embracing the extraordinary mountain views.
A strong sense of history runs through the gardens and grounds. Rust tones throughout the landscape echo the original dairy shed, with subtle nods to the former homestead woven into pathways, entry points and garden spaces. The rose garden marks the original homestead entry, offering a beautiful sense of continuity between past and present. Throughout the garden, thoughtfully placed seating invites moments of reflection - places to pause, soak in the views, and listen to the water, the birds and the quiet rhythms of country life.
The north-facing, gently sloping orchard and vegetable gardens are a highlight, designed for productivity and longevity. An abundance of fruit and nut trees, vines and root crops are complemented by an established herb garden, supporting everyday living and self-sufficiency. Peppercorn trees scattered throughout the grounds provide natural fly repellent, and even the river stones placed for boot cleaning and insect control speak to the depth of practical consideration behind the design.
Completely off-grid, Four Gates offers independence without compromise and stands as a deeply considered, environmentally conscious retreat. A rare Hunter Valley offering where beauty, function and sustainability exist in perfect balance.
