Centrally located 32km south of Armidale and 28km east of Uralla, Sylvania is a substantial and highly functional New England grazing property, combining productive open country, exceptional water security, comprehensive livestock infrastructure and an extensively renovated homestead.

The elevated, north-facing five-bedroom, four-bathroom homestead offers generous family accommodation, including three ensuited bedrooms, two offices, open-plan living, media room and contemporary kitchen. Renovated in 2016, the residence is complemented by north-facing entertaining areas, established gardens, double glazing, underfloor heating and a combustion wood heater. Starlink connectivity and more than 200,000 litres of rainwater storage further enhance its year-round reliability.

The yards feature a bugle design, CIA veterinary crush, three-way off scales draft and B-double access, with power, lighting and water connected.

Water security is a defining feature, with frontage to Mihi Creek and Grosse Creek, numerous substantial natural waterholes and more than 50 strategically positioned dams, supported by trough water around the stock yards.

Sylvania comprises productive New England Traprock and Granite soils, carrying a combination of established native and introduced perennial pastures and clovers. Estimated to have a current level of grazing production of 300 to 350 self replacing cows or 5,500 DSE.

A significant proportion of the holding is lightly timbered, open grazing country, providing scope for pasture improvement and direct-drill farming. An agricultural airstrip provides additional operational convenience.

Supporting infrastructure includes an original woolshed, workshop, machinery and storage sheds and car accommodation.
Sylvania presents as a reliable and highly integrated rural holding, combining productive grazing country and exceptional water security with an attractive, comprehensively renovated homestead, all within a tightly held New England grazing district.
