THE Hunter Valley has long been a favourite escape for city dwellers, prized for its award-winning wineries, sweeping rural landscapes and big country skies. Now, the region is set to welcome a fresh take on luxury living with the arrival of Lovedale Farm, a master planned golf community unlike anything else in the area.
Just two hours from Sydney, Lovedale Farm will offer a laid-back, design-led lifestyle in one of Australia’s most iconic regional destinations. At the heart of the project lies a brand-new, 18-hole championship golf course conceived by renowned course designer Darius Oliver, celebrated for creating courses that harmonise with the natural environment.
“There are two natural creeks running through the site, so that was really the anchor point for the golf course,” explains Capital Corporation Director, Jim Hunter. “It will have beautiful trickling creeks and Black Creek wrapping the boundary, so there are several holes where you won’t see anything but the golf course. You won’t see the houses, you won’t see the resort, it will just be you and the golf course.”
In addition to world-class golf, the development will include a mix of designer homes and land lots, with the first release now available through Colliers International. Blending modern design with a country sensibility, the homes will feature high ceilings, spacious interiors and dedicated golf buggy parking in garages. The architectural palette takes inspiration from the surrounding rural setting — prioritising function, elegance and ease of living.
The community will feature 500 residences, a 300-key resort, and a vibrant destination dining precinct, delivered across multiple stages. Construction is expected to begin in late 2025, with the golf course and first homes scheduled for completion in 2027.
While golfers will feel right at home, Lovedale Farm is about more than just the game. Nestled among the Hunter’s best wineries and culinary experiences, it offers an escape that celebrates nature, community and connection.
Whether planning a weekend retreat or considering a permanent move, Lovedale Farm is an invitation to be part of something truly special.
