Thornleigh Coolangubra Road, Cathcart NSW 2632

Located on the eastern edge of the Monaro, around 800m ASL, extending across the Snowy Monaro Regional and Bega Valley Shire Councils, Thornleigh is a remarkable, once in a lifetime, one of a kind property. It combines the beautiful, Arcadian landscape of Cathcart with the rugged beauty of the upper Towamba Valley.
As you step out of the car and look around you see an area rich with history and a unique, very biodiverse farm of 122ha/301.462ac (approx.) with a beauty in its landscape that is hard to match. Indeed, there is nothing else like it on the market. This property has changed hands only three times in over 125 years and no wonder.
The property is unequally divided by the Coolungubra Road, and includes a portion of the Towamba Valley's "Coal Hole", a breathtaking site to behold with magnificent views over the Towamba Valley, on a very clear day you can just make out the ocean.
The soils are mostly basalt derived with some lighter soils, and little of the property has been subject to cultivation so much of the soil undisturbed. This is high rainfall country.
Grazing ceased over a decade ago and there is abundant native flora and fauna.There are two intermittent lakes and a semi-permanent stream, a waterfall and numerous wet areas with sedges. The Coal Hole includes fern trees and wet sclerophyl forest. Thornleigh abounds in insects, frogs, reptiles, marsupials, echidnas and dozens of bird species.
Located in both the Snowy Monaro Regional and Bega Valley Shires, Thornleigh has a building entitlement in each and mains power is connected on the property. Recent improvements include replacement of majority of the boundary fencing.
If you are looking for a wonderful ecofriendly farm, or lifestyle property, to escape the hustle and the bustle, or to establish an eco-friendly tourist enterprise, then Thornleigh is a must to inspect.
Twenty minutes drive to Bombala and under an hour to Pambula and Merimbula.

Well priced on the current market.
