Nestled in the breathtaking Warrumbungle region, this expansive, 3290-acre mixed farming enterprise presents an exceptional ecotourism or weekender retreat for adventurers, shooters, and nature enthusiasts alike. Avondale offers an enticing escape to the great outdoors.
Just 28 kilometres southwest of Coonabarabran, Avondale boasts a captivating landscape that seamlessly blends rugged terrain with arable country. With approximately 323 hectares (800 acres) of fertile land divided into 26 paddocks, the property beckons to be explored and enjoyed.
Avondale caters to your every need, whether it's embarking on thrilling adventures or embracing the tranquillity of nature. You're close to airports in Dubbo, Narrabri and Tamworth. Coonabarabran is also a popular stop for travellers taking a road trip west or a halfway point between Melbourne and Brisbane.
Avondale runs from tranquil creek flats to picturesque plateaus, from nutrient-rich creek loams to fertile basalts. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the surroundings as you embark on unforgettable hikes, wildlife photography, or simply unwind amidst the serenity of the countryside. And did we mention the stars? The property borders the world renowned Warrumbungle National Park, Australia's first Dark Sky Park and the first in the southern hemisphere. The park is renowned for its stargazing opportunities thanks to its crystal-clear night skies, low humidity, high altitude and world-class astronomy research facility at nearby Siding Spring Observatory.
Water is abundant on this property, with 12 dams, two bores, and two creeks providing a reliable supply. With an average annual rainfall of approximately 700mm, Avondale ensures that you can enjoy your adventures and sustainably manage the land.
Avondale is not only a haven for nature lovers but also a productive agricultural enterprise. Conservatively estimated to carry 2000 dry sheep equivalents plus 160 breeding cows, the property presents a unique opportunity for eco-conscious farming practices or a sustainable grazing operation. Practicality meets functionality with three large machinery sheds, a two-stand shearing shed with yards, two silos, and two sets of cattle yards.
The exceptional features of Avondale extend beyond its natural wonders. Structural improvements include a spacious four-bedroom homestead complete with a double garage and a cool room, providing ample space for family and friends. A newly refurbished four-bedroom cottage offers cozy accommodation for guests, while a secluded off-grid three-bedroom hut invites you to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with nature. For the shooting enthusiast, Avondale also features an old three-bedroom "shooters" house, adding a touch of nostalgia and charm to the property. Whether you're seeking a rustic retreat or an unforgettable hunting experience, Avondale provides the perfect setting.
