Part Historic Ardenside Station

"McPhersons Plains", "Oakvale" and "Bowen's Retreat" are being offered to the market individually via Expressions of Interest 

Collectively spanning approximately 644 hectares (1,590 acres). The three non-contiguous properties have, for generations, formed strategic staging and grazing areas for cattle moved to the renowned Bago and Maragle high-country leases from Ardenside Station during the spring, summer and autumn months, preserving a unique connection to one of Australia's great grazing traditions and the pastoral heritage of the Snowy Mountains.

The offering presents a unique blend of conservation, recreation and agricultural opportunity. The properties remain largely in their natural state, featuring native grasslands, alpine forests, mountain creeks and significant biodiversity.
