Imagine arriving at your own 161 ha (399 acre) Central Tablelands holding on a Thursday afternoon, settling into a beautifully restored 1860s cottage and spending the weekend surrounded by productive pastures, flowing water and complete rural tranquillity.

Welcome to 'Chandlers Rest', a remarkable combination of historic character, agricultural productivity and lifestyle appeal.

One of the Central Tablelands' established grazing properties, 'Chandlers Rest' has a rich history of agricultural production and today presents as an exceptionally well-managed, highly productive holding. With abundant water, quality fencing, improved pastures and 17 well-designed paddocks, the property has been established for straightforward livestock management while still offering the lifestyle many rural buyers dream of.

Whether you are looking for a productive cattle and grazing enterprise, a sophisticated rural retreat, an established short-stay accommodation offering or simply somewhere to escape with family and friends, 'Chandlers Rest' delivers on every front.

A Productive Grazing Enterprise:
The property features deep, clay-rich and highly fertile soils with excellent water-holding capacity, providing an outstanding foundation for grazing and pasture improvement.

An extensive mix of productive improved pastures includes Phalaris, Perennial Ryegrass, Tall Fescue, Cocksfoot, Prairie Grass, White Clover, Sub Clover, Busta Radish, Arrow Leaf Clover, Balansa Clover, Lucerne, Pima Gland Clover and Flecha Fescue.

Holistically managed, the property has been developed to maximise pasture utilisation and livestock performance while keeping day-to-day management practical and efficient.

Outstanding Water Security:
Water is one of the defining features of 'Chandlers Rest'.

A spring-fed water system pumps to two storage tanks, which then supply troughs throughout the property, complemented by six dams and the original well positioned in front of the cottage, which is also connected to the stock-water system.

The district enjoys an average annual rainfall of approximately 900mm, further supporting the property's productive grazing capacity.

The Historic 1860 Cottage:
Originally built in 1860, the historic cottage has been lovingly restored with enormous care and attention to detail, preserving its character while creating a warm and inviting country retreat.

Sit on the verandah and listen to the water flowing nearby, entertain family and friends or simply enjoy the peace and privacy of your own rural escape.

The cottage currently operates successfully as an Airbnb, providing an additional income opportunity or buyers may choose to keep this extraordinary piece of history entirely for themselves.

The current owners recognised 'Chandlers Rest' for exactly what it offered; abundant water, fertile soils, productive pastures and excellent grazing potential.

At the time, the original 1860 homestead was derelict. After discovering the extraordinary history behind the property, they undertook an extensive restoration, bringing the cottage back to life while continuing to develop the surrounding farm into the highly productive operation it is today.

'Chandlers Rest' is the rural escape many dream about, but very few properties can genuinely deliver: history, productivity, water security and lifestyle, all within easy reach of Orange and Bathurst.
