'Grandview" is a wonderful 42 hectare property with some of the best views in the district, overlooking the Tilbuster Valley and back to the City of Armidale NSW.
On a hilltop, high above extensive valley grasslands and the Brisbane-Sydney highway, with sweeping views east, south and west, rolling storms and magnificent sunsets always amaze. Then by night, a cityscape sparkles on the horizon and looking up, a million stars of The Milky Way above.
This unique location offers ready access to the schooling, university, cultural, shopping, sport and medical facilities in the growing regional hub and university-city of Armidale. Sydney is also close for work, recreation or specialist services using regular Qantas flights from Armidale Regional Airport. Reliable communications especially wireless internet have enabled Australia-wide work from the home office for over 25 years.
