Owned and operated by the same family for four generations, ‘Daisy Mount’ is 153 ha (378 ac) of first-class grazing country on the eastern fall of the Great Dividing Range, 23km east of Tenterfield.
The original family homestead stands as a testament to the ‘good old days’ and allows a journey into the past. It is built completely of timber and has five bedrooms, living room with wood heater, kitchen with combustion stove and open fire, bathroom and timber verandahs. The house is currently on generator power and rainwater and is equipped with a telephone. Numerous sheds surrounding the homestead complex were originally used as the buggy room, school, saddle shed, dairy, hay and tool sheds. The outlook to the east is stunning as you sit in the landscaped garden and look out over the valley.
The property is fenced into five paddocks by good fences of 4 or 5 barb and majority steel posts and has a set of timber cattle yards with head bail. The semi-open, blue granite country is estimated to carry up to 100 breeders (selling the calves as weaners) and the water supply is excellent, with a number of permanent springs and spring-fed dams. The average annual rainfall at ‘Daisy Mount’ is 36′, with above average falls in the last 5 years.
‘Daisy Mount’ is one of Tenterfield’s original and most tightly held cattle properties and is a credit to its pioneers. The property’s history, and the way it has been preserved, is quite amazing and unique – certainly worth exploring! Inspections are only by appointment with the agent and you will not be disappointed!
