Description: "Sunglo". The name evokes images of glowing, golden rays over picturesque pastures and scenic cliff faces. "Sunglo" is an especially picturesque 1124 acre working & rural lifestyle property in the New England Eastern Fall country in Northern NSW. Located just 55km east of Armidale, and dominated by a plateau that fronts the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park on two sides, the property's rainfall benefits from straddling a gorge at 1000 metres above sea level. The country is undulating trap soil estimated to be capable of running around 180 cows and their calves, and with spectacular view for miles, "Sunglo" offers numerous options for building a dwelling in one of the many elevated locations.
The gorges on either side of "Sunglo" maintain a warmer airflow in winter than that of just a few kilometres away, and as such, the usual frosts of the Northern Tablelands are avoided for the most part. This helps extend the pasture growing season by a month or more. Approximately 170 acres has recently been thoughtfully cleared and put down to permanent pasture that the new buyer will benefit from. Further pasture improvements would see additional production increase. Pastures on the rest of the property are mostly native kangaroo grass, microlena, and some introduced clovers. There are 24 dams plus a wet weather gully or two giving water security to the property. The many native tree species include Hillgrove Gums, Apple Box, Stringybark, Blackbutt, Sydney Blue Gum, and wattles.
Fencing improvements have been recently undertaken on "Sunglo" with the entire northern section of the property north of Long Point Road (representing approximately 7 km) having been replaced, in addition to new holding yards connected to new commercial steel cattle yards with crush (with capacity to hold approximately180 head). Access to the yards and the shed is via an all-weather gravelled track. There is one double bay steel and timber shed for storage (this building is not certified by council as a permanent dwelling).
Access to the gorges (the Macleay to the south, the Chandler to the north) provides endless wilderness adventures for those so inclined. The property would make a great location for a nature retreat or a property to call home. Suitable as a starter's property or to bolster an existing enterprise, this property still has the potential to be New England's ultimate rural lifestyle property.
