Welcome to the glorious panorama and tranquility of this unique rural lifestyle property located on the Great Dividing Range in the Black Mountain area of the New England region.

Sitting high above extensive valley grasslands and the Sydney-Brisbane highway with sweeping views south to the City of Armidale and beyond to the ranges, rolling storms and magnificent sunsets always amaze. Then by night, the cityscape sparkles on the horizon as do a million stars of The Milky Way above.
This special location offers ready access to the work, schooling, university, cultural, shopping, sport and medical facilities in the growing regional hub of Armidale as well as to the Guyra community further north. Sydney is also close enough for work, recreation or specialist services using regular Qantas flights from Armidale Regional Airport - and on to the world. Reliable communications especially wireless internet have enabled executive work from the hilltop office for over 25 years.
