Own Your 'Peace' of Banjo Patterson Country
Offering 20 ha* (49.42 acres*)^, a wonderful connection to Australia's rural heritage, 'Mulga Bill's' is Lot 2 of a council-approved two-lot subdivision and presents an opportunity to secure a Southern Tablelands property combining open countryside, agricultural potential and a story that reaches into Australian literary history. Family-owned since May 1970, this rural holding forms part of a landscape long associated with superfine wool production, reliable rainfall and the timeless appeal of country living.
With approximately 28 inches* (711.2 mm*) of average annual rainfall recorded in the area since 1970, 'Mulga Bill's' offers a rural setting supported by established fencing and secure water. The natural landscape and surrounding country views create an appealing setting for those seeking space, privacy and a connection to the land.
The property holds particular historical significance through its association with nearby Conroys Gap, country linked to Banjo Paterson and his famous poem Mulga Bill's Bicycle. The Loomes family first settled the surrounding district in the 1830s, followed by generations of landowners who helped shape the area's rural history. With main road frontage, separate single- and three-phase power lines and a building envelope with building entitlement, 'Mulga Bill's' presents an opportunity to explore a range of rural pursuits, subject to applicable planning and development requirements.
