This property is a very rare and special offering. It?s one of the last privately owned pieces of land on a travelling stock route in NSW. This is the only small rural holding under 100 acres for sale in the entire area.

This 1/4 acre block is completely private, fully fenced and set in the mountains. It is situated between two 1,000 acre farms on either side. All rural land in this area must be a min of 100 acres, so owning a quarter of an acre block means you get to enjoy everyone else?s farms without the upkeep.

If you?re looking for a small easy to manage bush retreat away from the crowds then this property is perfect.

Our hut is located on the National Trail which stretches from Cape York to the Mornington Peninsula, making it the longest uninterrupted hiking trail in the Southern Hemisphere.

Our section of the TSR ( travelling stock route is aprox 5km in length from our front gate to the back lane and aprox 70-130m wide)
