End of an era as packer family sells off hunter valley polo poncho

Updated

The family that owned the hunting, fishing and sporting area in Hunter Valley has sold the land to a local farmer.

At the weekend, family members said the family that owns the paddocks had sold off part of the land for cash.

Kylie Koppenheffer owns an 80 per cent interest in the land and said the family had no intention of spending money.

"If you know me you know, as a real estate developer, we spend a lot of money on properties we have the responsibility for, and I certainly have no intention of buying this land with what I believe to be very low and unnecessary prices," she said.

The family, based in a small, two bedroom bungalow, is believed to be a family business that operated in the Hunter Valley from 1843 until 2013.

It was bought by Mr Koppenheffer's father and his sister, Mrs Ann, who left him about 10 years ago.

He has said the land owned by his family was important to him as he was a local historian and wrote a biography of the town.

"As a father, as a grandfather, as a grandfather I have a deep connection with that land and as a member of that family I have the responsibility to give it back, and I don't believe that I can do that with someone else's money," he said.

The land was the subject of a long legal wrangle between Mr Koppenheffer and the family and Mr Koppenheffer now says it is an excellent place for his family to raise his sons and grandson.

But Mr Koppenheffer said he would still like to have the paddocks but that this was the time to sell.

"At this time it's only a matter of getting the land sold, but that's something for the next family to decide on their own," he said.
