23-25 Regent Street, Maitland, NSW 2320

Set on approximately five acres of private grounds in the picturesque Hunter Valley, The Regents Park is not only one of the finest homes in New South Wales but also operates as a luxurious short-stay accommodation. A modest Georgian portico and electric iron gates conceal a stately home of grander proportions than one might expect.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by impressive cedar doors, domed ceilings, solid brass fittings, tall windows and doors, and antique chandeliers—all hinting that this is no ordinary home.

A magnificent library, taken from the office of five former Prime Ministers, is located just off the entry hall, separating the living spaces from private guest quarters, which come with their own Carrara Marble ensuite. Across the hall, a double-sized drawing room with a Georgian fireplace comfortably accommodates a grand piano, while the adjoining formal dining room features an open wood-burning fire and gas lamps that enhance the rich red walls.

The rear of the home is dominated by a stunning glazed conservatory. Beneath the soaring glass ceiling, a gallery with cast iron balustrading leads to a casual living room with French doors opening to a raised external veranda. Twin polished cedar staircases descend to the stone-paved casual dining space on the garden level, seamlessly connecting the interior to the beautifully landscaped gardens.

The home also boasts a brand-new, award-winning designer kitchen complete with a butler's pantry, a Falcon cooker, luxurious stone benchtops, and intricate brass details. With two dishwashers and ample storage, it's perfect for entertaining. The kitchen also connects to the formal dining room, making hosting events effortless.

A light-filled informal living area and another guest suite, again with a Carrara marble ensuite, complete the ground floor.

An antique staircase leads to the upper level, where another library, two generously sized guest rooms (one with an adjoining study), and an enormous master suite await. The master suite, separated by a private office, features a large walk-in dressing room and a Carrara marble ensuite with a claw-foot tub and underfloor heating. Two more spacious bedrooms share a main bathroom, also lined with Carrara marble.

Outside, the original coachman's quarters have been converted into a separate guest cottage with its own ensuite and an adjacent studio offers additional flexibility. A storage shed and undercover parking for two cars complete the outbuildings, while reverse-cycle air conditioning ensures comfort throughout the main residence and guest quarters.

The Regents Park is also home to one of Australia's most remarkable private gardens. From tropical palms and bamboo near the in-ground pool to an oriental garden complete with a lotus pond, Japanese bridge, and hand-carved stone lanterns, the grounds offer a serene escape. Further on, you'll find a formal English garden with a central rill and citrus orchard, as well as fenced parkland perfect for livestock such as sheep, alpacas, or even a pony.

Located within 1km of Maitland's CBD, and just 20 minutes from the vineyards, restaurants, and concert venues of Wine Country, The Regents Park offers the perfect blend of luxury, convenience, and natural beauty—ideal for both a grand residence and an exceptional short-stay accommodation experience.
