The property has been a labour of love for the current owners.

“There’s something undeniably special about Calais Estate — it’s where the rhythm of the vineyard meets the warmth of the Hunter lifestyle. Every corner tells a story, from the cellar door to the sunlit homestead, inviting you to slow down and savour it all. For me, it represents the perfect balance of beauty, legacy and potential,” Brett Hunter told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“It’s one of those rare places that truly captures the soul of the Hunter Valley. There’s a timeless elegance and an unmistakable sense of calm the moment you arrive.”

The boutique commercial vineyard boasts 30 acres (approx) under vines, including cabernet, shiraz, semillon, and chardonnay. Further development could include capitalising on the accommodation shortage in the Hunter Valley, including back valley subdivision into lifestyle lots.

Beyond redevelopment, the Estate offers an unparalleled lifestyle experience for its new owner. At the heart of this vineyard wonderland, a handsome sandstone restaurant beckons, with rustic elegance and breathtaking views from the verandah over the surrounding vine-clad hills.  Adjacent to the restaurant, the wine-making facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and a team of passionate winemakers.

Amidst this idyllic setting, a character homestead awaits, offering charm, comfort and unparalleled privacy. In the homestead, enjoy breathtaking views from every room. With spacious rooms bathed in natural light, the homestead invites you to indulge in a life of tranquillity and refinement. 

Step outside, and you will discover a sparkling pool, beckoning you to embrace the joys of outdoor living, basking in the warmth of the Australian sun. It’s all about the lifestyle!

The wonderful natural topography of the property and the natural amphitheatres and gently undulating slopes lend themselves to functions and events of all scales.

Beyond the vineyard, the property boasts excellent year-round water resources, ensuring the vines’ health and vitality. Pristine creeks meander through the land, nourishing the vines and adding a touch of serenity to the already picturesque landscape. 

This abundant water supply is a testament to the vineyard’s ability to produce some of the region’s most sought-after wines. The winery is fully equipped to process up to 300 tonnes of grapes, producing approximately 210,000 litres of wine annually.

The on-title fresh water sources, combined with bioseptic systems, and extensive solar infrastructure allow Calais Estate to operate efficiently off the grid.
