Nestled within the prized Good Forest region, "Montrose" presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a truly remarkable 101.7-hectare holding showcasing breathtaking, uninterrupted vistas, exceptional liveability and an enviable microclimate - all within comfortable reach of Sydney. With its elevated positioning and perfect eastern aspect, the property captures 180-degree views stretching across the Hartley Valley to the north, the dramatic escarpments of Mt Victoria, Blackheath, Katoomba and the Kanimbla Valley to the east, and the rugged Wild Dog Mountains to the south. Architect-designed to embrace its extraordinary setting, the homestead offers a relaxed country lifestyle, enriched by a wrap-around Merbau verandah, a wide entertaining deck and beautifully oriented indoor-outdoor living spaces that follow the sun throughout the day.
A rare combination of natural beauty and agricultural capability, Montrose features rich clay soils, spring-fed creeks, three dams, and approximately 251.3 acres of undulating paddocks ideal for cattle breeding and fattening. The estate is fully accessible, with Jenolan Caves Road providing sealed all-weather entry and an impressive network of internal roads supporting 4WD access throughout the property. Subdivision potential further enhances its long-term appeal (STCA)
Despite its privacy and expansive feel, Montrose is superbly located: only 15 minutes from Lithgow's modern amenities, 20 minutes from Mt Victoria's electric rail services to Sydney, and just 133 km from Parramatta via the Great Western Highway. This outstanding property offers an unparalleled opportunity to secure a landmark rural estate with extraordinary lifestyle and agricultural versatility.
