"Melrose" is positioned on the edge of the spectacular New England gorge country, approx. 40 kilometres from the regional city of Armidale.
Historically, the property has been used for grazing, running a self replacing cow herd annually turning off heavy weaners into local markets. In more recent years 297ha of heavily timbered country has been preserved as a conservation area in agreement with the Biodiversity Conservation Trust adding a source of passive income which is set in perpetuity.
"Melrose" is best described as undulating grazing land, with Traprock and Sandy Loam soils. There are a mixture of both native & improved grass species. The property is sub-divided into 5 paddocks with approx. 7km of new boundary fencing. Stock water is supplied by 11 earthen dams and access to seasonal holes in Postmans Creek.

The shed is in excellent condition and has been converted for extended camping trips and storage options. There is a new 4 bay machinery/ hay shed with gravel floor and 22,500 litres of rainwater connected. Cattle yards are of steel construction and include loading ramp & crush with head bale.
The property offers a diverse range of native timber species which thrive in the climatic conditions. These include; Red Gum, Blue Gum, Apple Box, Yellow Box, White Box, areas of Stringy Bark & Eucalypt.
