1081 Triangle Flat Road,
Bathurst 2795, New South Wales

Location: approx 10 km from the village of Rockley & 45 km from Bathurst. Approx 3 hours drive from Sydney.

Access: Approx 1 km sealed road frontage

Area: approx 653 acres (264.5 hectares)
Homestead: Main homestead dates back to the mid 1800's, still retaining original internal doors, architraves, skirtings, and windows. Fully renovated and selectively modernised, it comprises 3 bedrooms, large sitting room and inviting sunroom on the eastern side.
Cottage: dating back to the 1830's the cottage was the original accommodation on the holding. Also boasting original features, it has also been selectively modernized, offering 3 bedrooms and is currently very popular as short stay accommodation.

Grounds: The homestead, cottage and lock-up garage/workshop are all within the delightful fenced, maintained garden area, with mature shade trees complementing the tended garden beds … you can imagine the original owners would be most impressed with what they started almost 200 years earlier. Adjacent are separate fruit tree orchard (15-20 trees) and hazelnut grove (90-100 trees).

Working Improvements: New, all steel, lock-up machinery shed (15m x 9m) with open front adjoining (7m x 8m); steel cattle yards with crush and loading ramp; 2 cone bottom silos; 3 stand woolshed plus steel sheepyards.

Topography: comprises mostly cleared, open, undulating pasture country with an area of approx 60 acres that is mostly timbered.

Altitude: mostly varies between 950m and 1000m above sea level, with a high point of 1005m.

Pasture: carrying improved and native pastures

Timber: as well as the timbered area of approx. 60 acres, there are scattered shade and shelter trees in the cleared paddocks with an additional approx 3,000 native trees planted along fence lines etc.

Soils: mostly red basalt soils

Arable area: although more suited to carrying pastures, most of the property is arable and could at least be direct drilled for forage crops or pastures.

Annual rainfall: At around 1,000 m above sea level, the immediate area enjoys quite a healthy rainfall average. The nearest Bureau of Meteorology record for a locality of similar elevation is Oberon - see below. This would suggest average annual rainfall of approx 782 mm or 31".

Water: As well as 10 stock dams, the reliable Triangle Creek runs through the property, providing approx 1.5 km double frontage and servicing several paddocks. House water is from rainwater tanks, including a large underground water tank adjacent to the homestead and dating back to 1885.
Fencing: Boundary and internal fences are in good stockproof condition with many being new.
Stocking Potential: The property has been running a mix of cattle and sheep, with current numbers totalling approx 200 mixed cattle & 400 sheep. With good sheep and cattle facilities, it would suit either.
Overview: An absolutely delightful property offering history, comfortable accommodation, 6 bedrooms in all, clean & well maintained paddocks with productive pastures and good working improvements. With sealed road access, it is well located to Bathurst and the charming little village of Rockley. Well worth an inspection.
