Sitting at 1100m above sea level, Strathaven has been owned by the one family since 1969 and comprises 65ha (160ac). Encompassing dark basalt loam soils, the property had previously been developed into a vegetable farm with 3ha of irrigated market garden vegetables for markets in Walcha, Uralla and Armidale. The holding carried an organic certification (ACO #12957) for 3 years which expired 31/08/21, however has been organically managed for the last 20 years.
"Strathaven" today has been developed for intensive rotational grazing with a carrying capacity of 1 steer to the acre. 4ha cells have been established with 99% improved pastures fed by a homemade compost mix. Water is a feature with a trough in every paddock serviced by an interconnected system of dams and 2 bores providing crystal clear water.
Accommodation is provided through the original 4 bedroom home which was renovated and extended in approx. 1980. There are numerous other improvements which service the property in full. With Walcha just a short dash, Tamworth and Armidale under an hour's drive and Newcastle three and a half hours away you are well positioned to make the most of New England living. Not to mention that the Walcha Road Hotel, which is over 150 years old, is only 5 minutes away and provides home made pizza and bread. The locals say it's "the best fine dining and cold beer outside of Tamworth".
