Over 1,800 Acres - Manning River Frontage - Big Sky Country
Set in one of the most spectacular wilderness regions of New South Wales, this exceptional Barrington Tops property spans more than 1,800 acres of highly productive grazing country, adjoining both the Barrington Tops State Conservation Area and Barrington Tops State Forest. With over 2 kilometres frontage to the mighty Manning River, it captures the perfect balance between wilderness seclusion and agricultural productivity.
Located in the stunning Glen Ward region, this property is not for the faint-hearted - its remoteness, wilderness, and breathtaking river scenery are truly awe-inspiring. The land is diverse and impressive - from vast open hilly grazing slopes to smaller fertile flats along the riverbed, framed by stands of towering native forest. The property is traversed by the historic Ninnis Trail, offering a remarkable connection to the heritage of the high country. Located approximately a two-hour drive from Gloucester, this is a rare combination of vast size, scale and privacy in one of the state's most beautiful regions.
Infrastructure includes a serviceable original 1960s three-bedroom cottage requiring maintenance but full of character, along with a machinery shed and solid stockyards. The country is well-fenced and stock-proof throughout, featuring a rich blend of native pastures, clover, and kikuyu on the ridgelines, supporting consistent grazing capacity.
Currently running approximately 40 breeding Angus cows just on the country facing the river, the property has historically supported larger mobs of bullocks. This highlights its excellent carrying capacity and potential for further pasture improvement. Stretching over 7.3 square kilometres, this is genuine high-country cattle land in a breathtaking natural setting. The property is home to a vast range of native fauna and has exposure to feral animals including wild pigs.
