Stanley Park, a seven-bedroom 1897 landmark residence on 12 hectares in the greater Newcastle area near Port Stephens, has been listed for November auction.

It’s been offered to the market for the first time in over three decades. The waterfront property has views over Fullerton Cove from the house, which features wide wraparound verandas.

It’s set 20 minutes to Newcastle CBD.

“It’s unquestionably one of the area’s grandest waterfront estates,” its McGrath listing agent Simon Wall says.

More than $1.95 million is being sought at its November 12 auction.

It was owned by the beef-producing Smith family for many decades and more recently by the Laverick family. The Smiths also operated a dairy farm on the original 356 hectares.
