Hunter’s newest residential estate set to launch at Tenison Heights

15 July 2025

Experienced community-focused developer CPG Estates has announced the upcoming launch of its latest residential estate, Tenison Heights, which is set to offer a new generation of aspiring homeowners access to the unique lifestyle of the Hunter region.

Nestled amongst the green pastures and rolling hills of rural Lochinvar, Tenison Heights is a dynamic masterplanned community situated in the heart of the Hunter – one of the state’s fastest-growing areas.

The project will be officially introduced to the public at a free, family-friendly ‘Release & Reveal Launch Event’ on Saturday 26 July, including wine tastings with Horner Wines, a sausage sizzle supporting The Rotary Club of East Maitland, and live entertainment, as well as kids’ activities such as pony rides, face painting, and a petting zoo. In addition, all attendees have the chance to win a $1,000 Visa gift card.

As one of the Hunter’s newest developments, Tenison Heights offers all-inclusive house and land packages, giving homebuyers the peace of mind that comes with a complete ‘turnkey’ home.

With limited blocks to choose from, ranging from 450sqm to 620sqm, at prices starting from $799,000, there are options to suit buyers’ lifestyles and a variety of home styles.

According to CPG Estates’ General Manager, David Flanagan, the Tenison Heights vision will be brought to life through the expertise of a team of trusted builders.

“We have the benefit of working with our partners Clarendon Homes and Domaine Homes, who offer a wide range of high-quality home designs to suit different lifestyles and budgets,” said Mr Flanagan.

“As part of the Campbell Property Group, our award-winning builders bring decades of experience in crafting well-designed, functional, and stylish homes that seamlessly integrate into CPG Estates communities.

“We’ve already delivered the nearby Anambah Rise project, and now we’re looking forward to introducing our newest estate at Tenison Heights, and we can’t wait to help more families turn their new home dreams into a reality.”

Billed as a place to embrace a fun, active and healthy lifestyle, Tenison Heights also offers future homeowners an enticing outdoor lifestyle, with access to dedicated cycleways and meandering walking paths along picturesque Lochinvar Creek, not to mention family-friendly parks and playgrounds.

Boasting a local history dating back to the 1800s, Tenison Heights is named after Father Julian Tenison Woods, co-founder of the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart with Saint Mary MacKillop.

In 1883, the Sisters established a convent and school in Lochinvar, invited by Bishop James Murray to provide Catholic education. Starting in a former inn, they grew rapidly, with a new brick school built by 1911, while their legacy also includes the development of St. Joseph’s College and continued service to the region.

The name Tenison Heights honours this rich history of education, community service, and the values the Sisters brought to the area.

Building on this legacy, the Lochinvar area is now set to step into a new era of emerging communities and growth potential, with Tenison Heights at the forefront, offering an ideal spot for homebuyers seeking a fresh start, a tree change and the chance to be part of something special.

The prevalence of high-quality schooling in the area – including the previously mentioned St Joseph’s College, as well as St Patrick’s Primary School, Lochinvar Public School, and Rutherford Technology High School – is a testament to the area’s suitability for young and growing families.
