“The masterplan responds sensitively and astutely to the environmental attributes of this former golf course, with over 50 per cent of the 102ha site comprising lakes and parkland, which will be managed by residents as part of this 450 lot community title estate.

“In a regional market where price-sensitivity is always an issue, Heritage Parc demonstrates how quality landscaped parks, public art, play equipment and many other inclusions can be delivered and maintained in an affordable manner.”

When we first started selling in Rutherford at the time that it was first developed, it was originally know as “The Country Estate“. Today, while Rutherford is still surrounded by farm holdings the emphasis has shifted to suburban living and buyers are certainly demanding it.

We are finding the modern homes with plenty of room for a growing family are achieving stronger sale prices and these changes in building trends have had an obvious impact on values in Rutherford. Once where the majority of houses were 3 bedroom, one bathroom, we now see a majority of 4 and 5 bedroom homes with plenty of outdoor living. We remember when $150,000 was a huge price for Rutherford and would get you one of the best houses in the suburb. Now you have to spend around the $600,000 mark to secure the best properties.

Rutherford is becoming more and more popular and some of the reasons from buyers are:

• Easy access to the Maitland CBD
• Larger homes becoming available in the area
• Ease of access to the Hunter Valley and the mining areas
• Increase in upper end property prices
• Family friendly areas with plenty of park space

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and pay respects to their elders past, present and emerging. The suburb of Rutherford falls on the traditional lands of the Mindaribba people.
