Owens Trail, Gloucester, NSW 2422

Lots 90, 93 & 102 DP753153
Approximately 434.263 hectares (1,073 acres)

An exceptional opportunity to acquire over 434 hectares of regenerated bushland, rainforest and mountain country in one of the most significant natural landscapes adjoining the Barrington Tops.

This remarkable holding combines outstanding conservation, scenic and natural values, featuring:

More than 1 kilometre of frontage to the Cobark River
Mount Boranel, a prominent landmark peak occupying the southern lot
A complete habitat gradient from riparian rainforest and vine thicket through old-growth temperate forest to high-elevation eucalypt forest
Regenerated native bush with existing access trails
Historic gold mining relics dating from the late 1800s and early 1900s
Near the Barrington Tops National Park and Gondwana Rainforests World Heritage Area

A Landscape of Exceptional Ecological Value

The property encompasses an extraordinary diversity of vegetation communities, including:

Riparian rainforest and vine thicket along the Cobark River
Old-growth eastern Australian temperate forest
Spotted gum, box and ironbark woodland
Towering blue gum, ribbon gum and stringybark forests on the slopes of Mount Boranel

Although historically logged many decades ago, the country has regenerated into extensive native bushland of considerable ecological significance.

Access
The properties are presently reached via the established Owens Trail from the Scone–Barrington Road through neighbouring land and the vendor's adjoining property. This route is in regular use and can be followed on Google Maps and NSW SIX Maps.

A network of Crown public roads remains through the locality.

There is also potential for a substantially easier future access route via neighbouring land to the south, connecting directly to the Scone–Barrington Road. While no agreement currently exists, establishing such an arrangement presents an attractive long-term opportunity for a purchaser.

Conservation

Lots 90 and 93 are subject to a registered Property Vegetation Plan (PVP) under the Native Vegetation Act 2003.

The PVP provides a conservation framework expiring 2031 that includes protection of native vegetation, exclusion of grazing, weed and feral animal management,, fire planning and environmental monitoring. 

Properties of this scale and environmental quality are increasingly rare.
