About 55 kilometres by road south-east of Armidale, 852 hectare “Long Point” has a mix of basalt and trap soils.
The property has undergone thoughtful development over the past decade or so. Pastures have been resown, paddocks regularly fertilised and water assets improved upon.
Most of the fences are less than 10 years old and there are plenty of tracks accessing all parts of the property.
There are four sets of cattle yards strategically located to simplify stock handling. More recent land and pasture development is taking shape on the western portion of “Long Point”. Water is secured by dams (some springfed) and Macarthys Yard Creek.
The four-bedroom cottage is a solid building, equipped with solar power. There is no land line here, but mobile coverage is at the house and many parts of the property and of course the NBN is available via the Sky Muster service.
It is located with easy access to the council-maintained road, and with stunning views that extend across the farmland, gorges and the Macleay Range.
A Colorbond shed is attached to the house, and houses the solar setup.
“Long Point” currently operates as a fully working farm. With all this diversity, a complementary enterprise that takes advantage of the natural features of the property and its surroundings is begging to be established.
Whether it is a stopover for those walking the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park, or a high-end eco tourism venture, it is a stunning and private place to be.
