49 Maddens Lane
Wards River VIA, NSW 2422

Rarely does a property offer the perfect combination of productive grazing land, natural beauty, and peaceful seclusion, yet Tarnwar Park delivers exactly that. This nearly 100-acre holding extends from rolling grazing country and an established olive grove down to lush river flats along Wards River, where mature native trees line the water's edge, creating a private and picturesque landscape that feels entirely your own. This property offers a tranquil and private rural lifestyle that is truly exceptional.

LAND
Spanning just under 100 acres across two titles, the property features a diverse and productive mix of undulating grazing country, an established olive grove, and fertile alluvial river flats. Zoned RU2 Rural Landscape, the land is divided into nine large paddocks and two smaller paddocks. It has a strong fertiliser history, including applications of chicken litter, which supports its productive base. The current owners run approximately 30 cows and calves, demonstrating the quality of the grazing country. Mature native trees are scattered throughout the property, and the vegetation along the river's edge forms a stunning natural corridor. With no neighbouring properties in sight, the privacy and tranquillity here are genuinely outstanding.

WATER
Water security is a key feature of this property. Approximately two kilometres of Wards River frontage form the southern boundary, and the property holds a Water Access Licence (30 MG WAL) along with a bore, providing an excellent foundation for irrigation and stock water management. Multiple paddocks are serviced by stock troughs, and a large dam offers additional water security. Rainwater tanks supply the house, and further dams in the paddocks complete an impressive and well-planned water infrastructure suitable for a holding of this size.

HOMESTEAD
Situated on a plateau with sweeping views over the river flats and towards Wards River, the three-bedroom weatherboard homestead exemplifies country living at its best. The home features a Colorbond roof, a wide wraparound verandah, and beautifully maintained established gardens, creating a comfortable and characterful residence. Inside, a recently renovated open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area flows seamlessly under real hardwood timber floors. The kitchen includes a bay window perfectly positioned to capture views of the river flats. Each of the three bedrooms enjoys its own outlook and direct access to the verandah. A separate bathroom and laundry complete the home. Adjacent to the main house, a timber studio with hardwood frames and floors offers two separate spaces plus its own bathroom and kitchenette. This rustic and well-maintained studio is full of charm. A carport services the studio, and at the rear, a pool with a deck overlooks the flats, providing an ideal spot to enjoy afternoon sunsets. Additional features include a chicken coop, an established vegetable patch, and an orchard.

INFRASTRUCTURE
A substantial 30m by 15m machinery shed provides excellent storage and workspace options for the working property. The shed includes a fully enclosed workshop bay with a roller door and concrete slab, an open bay with concrete flooring, and a larger area suitable for tractors, implements, and equipment, along with three-phase power. There is an old dairy building suitable for stables with a storage and tack room, as well as an older hay shed. Cattle yards complete the infrastructure package, ensuring the property is well-equipped for ongoing agricultural use.
