Steeped in Australian colonial history and occupying an enviable position alongside Lake Rowlands, historic 'Pomona' presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to secure one of the Central Tablelands' most significant and productive rural holdings.
Forming part of the first property grant in the area, the land was selected by renowned explorer William Charles Wentworth following the historic crossing of the Blue Mountains. More than two centuries later, 'Pomona' remains a remarkable holding, combining fertile grazing country, outstanding water security and a beautifully established homestead in a private and picturesque setting.
Spanning approximately 261 hectares (645 acres), the property comprises mostly flat to gently undulating country at an average elevation of approximately 897 metres. The fertile land is divided into 22 stockproof paddocks and features improved pastures including cocksfoot, fescue, clover and ryegrass.
Water security is a standout feature, with the property adjoining Lake Rowlands and benefiting from additional stock-water pumping access. Further water infrastructure includes a functioning bore, five dams, three spring-fed and two catchment dams, six tanks with approximately 245,000 litres of storage and 17 concrete troughs. The property receives an average annual rainfall of approximately 800mm.
At the heart of 'Pomona' is the charming four-bedroom homestead, built in 1935 and surrounded by established, bore-watered gardens. The residence offers a study, a renovated bathroom, a modern kitchen, two separate living areas with fireplaces, double-glazed windows, a mudroom/sunroom and separate laundry. A studio with potential for use as a granny flat provides further flexibility, while a three-car garage, garden shed and two undercover parking spaces complete the accommodation.
Additional improvements include:
• Four-bay machinery and hay shed
• Storage shed
• Two-stand woolshed
• Steel cattle and sheep yards
• Upgraded barb and hinge-joint fencing with hot wire
• Fully stock-proof paddocks
Privately positioned with no public roads adjoining its boundaries, 'Pomona' offers a wonderful sense of seclusion while remaining conveniently located approximately 27km from Blayney, 67km from both Orange and Bathurst and 265km from Sydney.
Rich in history, productivity and natural beauty, 'Pomona' is a truly distinguished Central Tablelands property offering an exceptional rural lifestyle and agricultural investment opportunity.
