HISTORIC HILL END almost 3,500 acres of wild, untamed Australia, with native bushland, small open cleared areas, abundant wildlife, rugged mountains, secluded river frontage, and all within 300 km from Sydney.

COUNTRY: comprises 2 titles and approx 1402.1 ha or 3468 acres. The land is bordered on the southern boundary by the Macquarie River, and on the western boundary by Tambaroora Creek. Topography is undulating some quite steep areas, but with some cleared undulating areas as well, varying in altitude from a high of 850m to the river at approx 450m. Although fencing and old yards indicate the property has run sheep in the past, it realistically has only marginal grazing appeal, although there is no shortage of feral goats.

STRUCTURES: There are several modest buildings including a sound 2 bedroom brick cabin with verandah, bathroom and impressive stone open fireplace, small lock up shed and sundry other older yards and small sheds. The small rustic mountain cabin is solid and just needs some finishing touches’ inside.

RIVER, CREEKS ETC: the land is bordered on the southern boundary by the Macquarie River, providing approx 2 km frontage to the main river in the Central Tablelands including a very appealing stretch with large gently flowing pools interspersed by small rapids’ and a sandy beach’ as well a very appealing and private part of the river. The western boundary is the Tambaroora Creek, which traverses some quite rugged country as the creek tumbles down through gullies and rocky crevasses to the river. There are several other small creeks as well as dams on the property.

LOCATION: approx 6 km from the historic village of Hill End, in the NSW Central Tablelands, 75 km from Bathurst, 80 km from Mudgee and approx 280 km from Sydney. Hill End is one of Australia’s original gold rush towns’, once boasting a population of many thousands, and now a quaint, historic village of less than 200 people. From well preserved gold mining ghost town to popular artists destination, Hill End maintains a prominent art culture as well as being a major tourist attraction.

COMMENTS: Although just a few km from the village of Hill End, with the wild bushland and rugged terrain, this property is a very secluded and private haven, offering bush trails, open cleared areas, picturesque river frontage and even a bush cabin. If you are looking for a real’ weekend escape offering either peace and quiet of the Australian native bushland and wildlife, or opportunity for outdoor recreational pursuits such as bike riding, hunting and fishing, then this may be just right. There is a recently graded track down to the river, but it is still 4WD country, so come prepared if intending to be part of a property inspection.
