I went and looked at a farm today that was absolutely stunning 600 aces with a large orchard, 20000 trees. It had the required sheds but no house. The owner took me to his camp site. Views from Coolum to Teewah and Lake Cootharaba. Camp site had a 50sqm timber deck with hidden shower and toilet and permanent tent with king size bed, kitchen and 4 bunks. Outdoor had a number of fire pits and burners. I could live in it....without the kids but.

He isn't looking for some testers is he, could provide a family having fun for the advertising photos. ;D

We ended up doing what was written in the title of this thread

1hr 45min from home (Sydney) no traffic to get there no freeways
60 acres had a house on it but burnt down (that’s another story to be told around a camp fire)

Has power connected 25 min to the hunter valley tar road to the gate

Our little heaven

2 thoughts, Either up the Putty Valley or maybe it involves a ferry trip to cross the Hawkesbury river to get there?

The 1 3/4 hrs from Sydney and 25 mins to the Hunter would cross off the Hawkesbury I think ?

After a bit of detective work, I'll have a guess and say not far from Millbrodale !!......????

I am guessing that set you back many multiples of the one I originally posted, looks great though.
You would be surprised how little right place right time

The owner was just showing it to me...........Its would be worth probably around $10 - $12m.
The owner of it hates snakes (as you do) so cleared all the gullies and layed 80,000 square emtres of turf last year.

1 3/4 hr would get you from Cherrybrook to the upper McDonald Valley depending on the ferry crossing wait. From there you could get up to Bucketty in around 1/2 hr, only thing is the bitumen runs out a bit after the ferry crossing.

Why I said Millbrodale is I thought you'd be way past Howes Valley from Cherrybrook in 1 3/4 hrs !!

Nice part of the world that a lot of Sydney people don't seem to know about.....yet !!

Yeah some gorgeous country and not far out of Sydney time wise but people are scared of corners so everyone only travels on freeways

time wise takes 1h 45m-1h 50m doing the speed limit i wouldn't know how fast if you were driving a porsche  :cup:

Not a bad stretch along the Putty from your end. From Cessnock end there are the 400 corners to deal with......slow going until approx Howes !!

Good spot up the putty, use to travel the road often as it was easier from our old place when heading north rather than doing the Penno rd thing. The mill up along the road before the Putty turn off is a good place for bulk firewood if you need a semi load!
The is some great spots up in the area I mentioned in the McDonald Valley for camping blocks although getting dearer now days. I did have a share with my 2 brothers in a 100 acre block in the upper McDonald valley. Great country on the sometimes dry river with Blue Gum forest.
