Situated on 56ha (140 acres) atop a gentle rise overlooking Bathurst, and surrounded by 13 acres of park-like gardens, Blackdown is a family home and rural headquarters without peer.

Stunning landscaped surrounds include walled and parterre gardens, long avenues of arched specimen trees and shrubs, water features, vegetable gardens, olive grove, grape vines and sweeping lawns.

Formal English parklike gardens portray a distinct Australian flavour from sweeping lawns and commanding trees to secluded private garden rooms.

“Blackdown Estate is a country house and rural icon without peer.”

Residences include 10 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms (all with heated tile floors), a chef’s kitchen with commercial double oven and walk in cool-room and freezer, vast formal and informal rooms, library and numerous ancillary rooms and offices. For comfort there is under-floor heating and air-conditioning throughout (the homestead also has 13 working fireplaces) and an 8 car underground garage to satisfy car enthusiasts.

Historic outbuildings include the original stables with magnificent timber stalls in place, coachhouse, blacksmiths shop, shearing shed and cellar. In addition the property features an Olympic-size dressage arena, professional sized tennis court and lake set amongst breathtaking gardens.
