The Farm Tour.
The adventure begins. You start to climb. From the spring fed creek up the steep, well-made gravel road, the view begins to reveal itself, through native pasture and restored dry rainforest to the house plateau. The comfortable 'house paddock' has the benefits of 360-degree views, deep volcanic soil, and cooling summer breezes. To the east and south of the house, a food forest and cottage vegetable garden thrive. A productive grape pergola wraps around and shades one side of the house, offering a delightful canopy for parties day or night and dense summer shade.
The house is charming, unique, steel framed with a colour bond skin, soaked in light, practical, comfortable and inviting, with a view from every window. Built by the previous owners, the current owners have lived here for 23 years and raised their 2 sons. The fireplace heats thoroughly from timber gathered from the forest. In summer the grapevine keeps the windows shaded and there is often an easterly cooling breeze along the verandah. For Summer days there are fans and air conditioning.
Food from the garden includes mango, white peach, blood plum, figs (white adriatic, brown turkey, genoa), pomegranate, avocado, guava, feijoa, davidson plum, pecan, walnut, macadamia, almond, hazelnut, chestnut. The citrus orchard includes blood orange and ruby grapefruit, lemons, tropical lime, kaffir lime, Australian round lime, navel oranges and our famous Paterson Valley oranges.
At the edge of the house plateau stands the five-sided Studio taking in the view in almost every direction, soaking up the morning valley mists, perfect for guests, creative pursuits or eagle spotting.
A rustic and spacious shed 'complex' having traditional bush style, that grew over the years with galvanised iron construction and timber poles sourced on the property. Including rustic pole framed carport, paved den/games room and mower shed: plenty of room for making, fixing and playing.
Feel alive. Wake to a symphony of birdsong as the sun rises over the top of the property. The natural world comes to life all around you. A young wallaby venturing out of the pouch for the first time. Fairy wrens and firetails foraging. Quail families bursting from their hiding places.
Breathe in the peace and solitude of the mountain air, or entertain under the grapevines.
Journey further up the mountain to another plateau 420 metres above sea level. Vast views of the Paterson Allyn Valleys and the Barrington Tops National Park. The peak of Hill of Clouds is 460 metres above sea level,with incredible views.
A rare geography. Hill of Clouds is a mountain ridge property in the Wallarobba Range with a protected remnant rainforest, natural amphitheatre. The property has two level plateaus,with stunning vistas.
Explore. The forest here is a remnant of our ancient Gondwana forest. Discover trails into lowland subtropical rainforest, dry rainforest, wet sclerophyll forest. The water flows crystal-clear from mountain springs that begin high up the peak, running down the ephemeral waterfalls to the creek below, under a vine-encrusted canopy. The forest is home to rich flora and fauna biodiversity; enquiries have been made into entering into a conservation agreement with the Australian Biodiversity Trust, this agreement would mean expert and financial support, interested buyers should make their own enquiries.
Hill of Clouds has an extensive flora and fauna survey as part of its vegetation management plan. You may spy koalas, quolls, crayfish, water dragons, sugar gliders, microbats, and that spectacular array of bird species. Trees, vines and grasses fill the seven ecological communities that populate the farm.
Living on a mountain that welcomes a sunrise and reflects a sunset. You will never tire of the views from the Barrington postcard distances to the misty mornings to the purple dusks.
Love the peace and privacy of Hill of Clouds or drive into the peaceful village of Gresford (15 mins) or the happening town of Dungog (20 mins) - real community fills both centres.
