936 acres and 128 years of farming history await in the gorgeous undulating region of Colinroobie NSW.
“Hillcrest”, established in 1894 has remained a glorious parcel of early settlement land, lovingly cared for by just 3 different families in all its time. Each family has added their own improvements throughout the years, culminating in what you see today.
Located on Nolens Road Colinroobie, and originally acquired and developed by one Mr J Nolen as a cropping and grazing station in 1894 during early area settlement, “Hillcrest” lies 21.8km NE of Leeton, 41.2km NW of Narrandera, 69.3km east of Griffith NSW (distances measured to Post Office).
The land provides a total area of 936 acres, with approximately 600 acres being arable. Contour banks created by the current owners have maintained the integrity of the soils, along with conservative farming practices. Crops sown and harvested in the past include Wheat, Barley & Oats, with the soil types comprising of loam, sand & gravel soils. Fences on the property are all in stock proof condition, and water is provided by way of 8+ excellent natural catchment dams located at key points throughout the property. Several smaller additional dams are also available for water catchment when weather conditions are met.
The property provides a beautiful mix of clear & timbered land. If a balance between work and retreat is what you seek, “Hillcrest” delivers on both of these aspects. The south western area of property offers gorgeous timbered land, with tidy bike and vehicle trails established throughout. Camping, bike riding, horse riding, shooting and all manner of recreational past times can be enjoyed, while still doubling as an excellent grazing area for commercial livestock.
The northern and eastern portions of the property provide cleared arable paddocks, as well as incredible views to the south of the Colinroobie Foothills. The southern portion of the land also provides an established course for the seasonal “Colinroobie Runner” Creek, which we’re told is an amazing sight to behold when in action.
