Mosman Buyers: This glorious country escape is just three hours from Balmoral.

By ANNA USHER

Just three hours’ drive from the golden sands of Balmoral, nestled between Batemans Bay and Canberra, lies the bustling hamlet of Braidwood – a historic gold mining town recognised as one of the state’s most picturesque.

Home to stunning colonial buildings, boutique shops and a thriving food and wine scene, the Southern Tablelands gem, with its population of 1700 is today a chic destination for city dwellers looking for a charming country escape.

Twenty minutes from the heart of Braidwood is Tullamore Park, a breathtaking family farm now on the market for the first time in over three decades. This 88.2-hectare property, set against a backdrop of fertile granite soil and sandy grey loam, offers more than just agricultural potential; it’s a gateway to a lifestyle rich with rural charm and modern conveniences.

“The property’s proximity to Canberra Airport and Goulburn, along with its significant water security, makes it a desirable investment for business or lifestyle purposes,” Jason Roach from The Agency told Mosman Collective.

“For lower north shore locals seeking a weekender – or perhaps a permanent tree change – Tullamore Park is a great opportunity.”

Mr Roach said the main homestead is a true family haven boasting modern amenities, substantial living areas, and large, welcoming fireplaces.

“In addition to the large family residence, a two-bedroom cottage offers additional accommodation, which is perfect for guests or as a rental opportunity.

“The property was built to make memories for its residing family – and now it’s time for a new chapter in its history.”

Infrastructure at Tullamore Park includes well-maintained paddocks designed for rotational grazing and equipped with laneways for easy stock movement. The farm currently supports 120 Angus Cross cattle but can sustain a much larger herd.

“Extensive water infrastructure offers 25 dams, ensuring that the farm remains productive and verdant throughout the year,” Mr Roach said.

For those seeking a weekend escape, Tullamore Park is an idyllic retreat. Its proximity to Canberra and the ski fields makes it an excellent choice for families looking to embrace the great outdoors.

“There’s also a large hayshed, cattle and sheep yards in good condition, two large machinery sheds with 3-phase power and reticulated HP air, a well-equipped shearing shed for 500 sheep, grain silo, dog pen, and chicken coop,” Mr Roach said.

“It’s the complete package.”
