"Fern Hill" - Hard to Find Scale with a Convenient Location

'Fern Hill' presents a strong opportunity to secure a substantial, highly functional grazing enterprise in the tightly held Black Mountain district of New South Wales. Encompassing approximately 1,003.15 hectares (2,478 acres), it offers rare scale within a proven high performance grazing region.

Strategically located just 10km from Guyra and 31km from Armidale, with convenient access approximately 10km off the New England Highway and the Black Mountain Road house, the asset combines operational efficiency with strong regional connectivity.

Held within the same family for generations, 'Fern Hill' has been carefully managed under regenerative agricultural principles, with a strong focus on rotational, time controlled grazing. The property is subdivided into smaller paddocks averaging approximately 10 hectares, supporting optimal pasture utilisation and rest cycles. Fencing infrastructure is well maintained, with an ongoing improvement program ensuring a quality standard across the holding.

The Black Mountain region is renowned for its reliable temperate climate and high rainfall, underpinning consistent pasture production and strong livestock carrying capacity.
Importantly, 'Fern Hill' offers clear upside potential. There is a genuine opportunity to further optimise more intensive management practices and lift overall carrying capacity, providing scope to increase grazing performance and drive higher levels of livestock production.

Structural improvements are comprehensive and well suited to a mixed grazing operation. These include a four bedroom brick residence with a dedicated office, surrounded by established gardens, mature trees, and a productive orchard and vegetable garden. Operational infrastructure features extensive shedding, including a modern enclosed shed, a three-stand electric woolshed with adjoining sheep yards, steel cattle yards, and additional hay and machinery storage.

Water security is a key strength, with multiple dams across the property. Two primary storage dams are equipped and supply a reticulated water system servicing a network of troughs throughout the farm. Toms Creek traverses the property from North to South.

'Fern Hill' represents a well maintained grazing asset of substantial scale, underpinned by a proven management history, with clear scope for further improvement within a highly regarded livestock region.
