Own Your 'Peace' of Banjo Patterson Country

Rich in history and set on 20 ha* (49.42 acres*)^, 'Banjo's' is Lot 1 of a council-approved two-lot subdivision and captures the enduring appeal of Southern Tablelands country. Family-owned since May 1970, the property has a long-standing connection to superfine wool production and offers agricultural potential, reliable rainfall and a beautiful countryside setting. With open space and rural tranquillity, it presents an opportunity to enjoy country living and pursue your agricultural ambitions.

With approximately 28 inches* (711.2 mm*) of average annual rainfall recorded in the area since 1970, 'Banjo's' benefits from established boundary fencing with one side being brand new, a spring-fed dam and approximately 10 acres of mixed pasture seed established across the property.

The surrounding landscape and country views provide a wonderful backdrop to a property with both productive potential and a rich rural character.
