This spectacular 120.1 hectare (296.8 acre) property is a must-see for those looking for a private nature and wildlife getaway.

The property is predominantly native bushland offering an abundant variety of flora and fauna. Approximately one third of the property has been previously cleared for grazing on the northern and southern boundaries, however this area is now in the process of being naturally regenerated to native vegetation. To the east, there is a continuous band of bushland connecting through the neighbouring property to a spectacular band of sandstone escarpment and the Wollemi National Park.
This property is a mixture of flat areas, rising through undulating hills to the steeper sections. Walking through sections of bushland and native forest with beautiful bush rock and pagoda rock formations you will find crystal rich rocks and fossilised shells embedded in the different rock types.

An initial study and report has been produced to assess the viability for the property to enter the NSW Government Biodiversity Offsets Scheme. The preliminary data and assessments indicate that there is a range of ecosystem credits potentially to be generated from the development of the property as a Biodiversity Stewardship Site. The total number of ecosystem credits potentially generated, based on the preliminary data entry into the BAM calculator, is 655 (according to the Feasibility Assessment Report for a Potential Biodiversity Stewardship Site completed by Greenloaning Biostudies Pty Ltd, May 2022). Certainty is subject to a further assessment / report.
