Lifestyle, Agriculture & Scale with Water on South East Tablelands - Palerang

6 3 4

Lifestyle, agriculture and scale with water - welcome to Palerang Homestead.

First settled in the 1830s and originally known as Hazeldell, this remarkable property began life as Hyland's Retreat, a travellers' inn on the historic stagecoach road linking the Monaro to Goulburn and Sydney. At its heart remains the original stone cottage, one of the earliest surviving buildings in the district. The home has been expanded whilst preserving its colonial character. The estate has welcomed travellers, inspired poets, and stood witness to the evolving history of the Southern Tablelands for almost two centuries. Today, Palerang Homestead is recognised as a heritage-listed home and farm of historical.

Wrapped in mature historic gardens, the homestead is approached beneath a towering Bunya Pine and enormous Atlantic Cedar that have watched over the property for generations. Vine-covered pergolas, winding flagstone paths and crinkle-crankle stone walls lead to a secluded walled and treed garden, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance and quiet reflection.

Lovingly preserved, the colonial residence celebrates timeless craftsmanship at every turn. Soaring ceilings, original timber floors, marble fireplaces, French doors and both formal and informal living spaces reflect the grace and proportions of another era while offering the warmth and comfort of a cherished family home.

Comprising four generous bedrooms, including a master suite with a dressing room and ensuite, the home also features a dedicated office, a comfy family room and a genuine country kitchen complete with a spacious walk-in pantry. The enormous stone entertaining hall is a centrepiece for any entertaining, where arches, exposed timber beams and handcrafted brick flooring create an unforgettable venue for intimate gatherings or large family celebrations. Completing the residence is a generous attached carport and multiple storage areas, thoughtfully integrated to support both everyday living and the practicalities of a working country estate. A second dwelling, a 2 bedroom ex Stable grooms cottage, is also contained within the home paddock and offers multi-generational accommodation, B&B pathway and or additional tenancy income.

Palerang's story extends far beyond its gardens and homestead.

Palerang Homestead is 610 hectares or 1,507 acres in total size and consists of two properties, Palerang (315ha/778ac) and McLaughlin (295ha/729ac), we welcome discussion for the sale of one or both of these separately titled properties.

Farming and grazing at Palerang Homestead is driven primarily by native pastures, clean and green and historically underutilised, as the current owners have always been conservative with stocking. Approximately 90% of Palerang is excellent native grazing, and it is likely 65% of this land is immediately arable and ready for improvement and cropping. The property is a mix of open plain paddocks and creek flats, rising slopes to low undulating country with numerous dams and watercourses. Given the farm is bookended by the famous Mulloon Creek and picturesque Reedy Creek, water security is a given and yet, there is a 120ML water access licence and a 80mm pump approval that remains with Palerang - an advantage to this farm of the highest order. Palerang Homestead is well positioned for rainfall; it receives 650-800mm per annum and is ranked in the 3rd tier for Southern NSW Macro Rain Rankings.

Given that water security is widely regarded as the most important asset for a stocking enterprise, Palerang is more than adequately equipped to face the future.

Palerang has become one of Australia's most recognised examples of regenerative agriculture and landscape restoration. The property demonstrates how thoughtful land stewardship can restore natural water cycles, improve biodiversity and strengthen agricultural resilience. Carefully engineered "leaky weirs" gently slow and retain water within the landscape, replenishing groundwater, reducing erosion, encouraging native birds and wildlife to return, and creating greener, healthier pastures through drought and changing seasons. The Mulloon landscape rehydration model has gained international recognition, including acknowledgement by the United Nations.
