AUCTION Friday 24th April 2025, 11.00am (If not sold before) Newcastle Yacht Club

Set high on the sought after Fosterton Loop, just minutes from Dungog, Morningside Farm is the kind of property people wait years to find. A place where space, beauty and quiet luxury come together, and where homes of this calibre are rarely offered.
Designed to capture the romance of a traditional Australian homestead, this Harkaway Home was built approximately twenty years ago, combining classic country character with the confidence of modern construction.
From its elevated position on the high side of The Loop, the home looks out across rolling countryside in almost every direction. The sense of openness and calm is immediate. Wide country verandahs wrap the home, inviting slow mornings, long lunches and evenings spent watching the light change across the landscape.

Inside, the home is rich in detail and warmth. Polished timber floors, decorative fretwork, leadlight windows, a claw foot bath and a beautiful fireplace create a feeling of timeless elegance and comfort. At the heart of the home, the country kitchen with Falcon oven, butler's sink and walk in pantry is both a functional workspace and a natural gathering place, where cooking, conversation and connection unfold with ease, flowing through double French doors onto the verandah and out to the surrounding countryside.
Set across 5.334 hectares (approx. 13 acres), the property offers a balance of beauty and purpose. For those with horses, the infrastructure is already in place, with quality stables, wash bay, paddocks with shelters and an arena creating a complete and considered equestrian setup.
A separate one bedroom guest accommodation adds another layer of lifestyle flexibility. Currently operating as an Airbnb, it offers the opportunity for income while providing a private and stylish space for guests or extended family.
Just two minutes down the road, the Fosterton Bridge swimming hole on the Williams River offers a natural extension of the lifestyle. A place for summer swims, kayaking and quiet afternoons by the water.
