A Rare Offering on the NSW Border Ranges

Enjoy 450 hectares over 5 titles of picturesque, clean, healthy mountain country on the eastern fall of the Great Divide.

Located on the Mt. Lindesay Road 25 km east of Stanthorpe and 40 km north of Tenterfield. This beautiful block is in a cool, high rainfall zone at an altitude of 920 to 1040 metres, all granite soils, well watered with running creeks, numerous springs and dams.

Thoughtfully cleared, pastured and the remainder clothed in native bush. There exists a highly diverse range of plant and animal species. These include, Black Butt, Stringybark, Peppermint, Banksia, Wattle, Grevillia, Ti tree and many other species. The bush is home to Grey Kangaroos, Wallabies including the Brush Tailed Rock Wallaby, Koalas, possums including the Greater Glider and other gliders, many bird species including Yellow Tailed and Glossy Black Cockatoos, Powerful and Sooty Owls.

The property is currently running a small herd of breeding cows. Some areas are totally excluded from stocking for high value biodiversity conservation.

There is a comfortable family home, garden, sheds and yards.

3 hours from Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Northern Rivers, this property would suit someone who would like to create a peaceful bush base/ eco-tourism destination on the Northern New England Tableland. The property is located close to Bald Rock and Boonoo Boonoo National Parks and to the wine and regional food producing regions of Stanthorpe and Tenterfield.

The property has been run according to organic and regenerative principles for 38 years. It is located at the very top of the catchment of the Great Divide. The soil and the land are clean and healthy, the water is pure and the air crisp and clear.

Some properties are bought. This one has been nurtured. ‘Sweet Water’ is perfectly named. For more than thirty years it has been managed with a single guiding philosophy: that productive farming and thriving wilderness are not competitors, but partners. The result is a property that is genuinely rare in today’s market.

Softened, living landscape where clean spring waters run, dung beetles work the pastures, koala trees stand in carefully chosen plantings, and a quiet herd of cattle grazes in rotation through country that hums with native wildlife.

The homestead at Sweet Water tells its own story of organic evolution. It began life as a corrugated iron shed, transformed into a warm, light-filled chalet with mains power and landline connected.

As family grew and visitors multiplied, it was joined by a two-bedroom colonial timber cottage. The two buildings were married with a tiled foyer, wrapped in roofed verandahs, and extended with further living space beneath the cottage.

Today the home offers gorgeous open, spacious living across three distinct levels, with five bedrooms plus a sleepout, two bathrooms, a third toilet in the laundry, and flexible office and studio space:
