Old Duninald - Historic Farmhouse Experience | House in Paterson
3 Bedroom House in Hunter Valley, Paterson
Experience the charm of Old Duninald House, a lovingly restored 1822 residence said to be the oldest in the Hunter Valley. Set on 25 acres of gardens and bushland within the larger Duninald Property, this rare retreat offers old-world beauty, rural tranquility, and the warmth of home.
Here, time slows. Wake to birdsong drifting through ancient trees, wander garden paths dotted with sculptures, or settle by the billabong with a book in hand. In the evenings, gather by the firepit under starlit skies or enjoy a glass of Hunter wine on the wide verandahs as the cattle graze in the distance.
Inside, Old Duninald accommodates up to six guests across three beautifully appointed bedrooms, two bathrooms, and multiple living spaces. Expansive verandahs and a fully equipped kitchen ensure there’s ample room to gather, cook, or simply unwind. Original features are matched with modern comforts – a wood-burning fireplace, barbecue facilities, Wi-Fi, and reliable mobile coverage – so you can feel both grounded in history and perfectly at ease.
Duninald itself is a working farm of 500 acres, producing beef from a primarily Angus herd with Charolais bulls. The property also features a specialist wholesale fern nursery and boutique honey production. Yet just beyond the gates, you’ll find yourself in the heart of the Lower Hunter Valley: minutes from Paterson village, just two hours from Sydney and one hour from Newcastle. From here, you can explore the historic streets of Morpeth, the cultural hubs of Maitland and Dungog, the beaches of Port Stephens, and of course, the region’s celebrated vineyards.
Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family gathering, or a stay linked to nearby Tocal Homestead weddings, Old Duninald offers something rare: a chance to live inside history, surrounded by nature, while exploring one of New South Wales’ most beautiful regions.
