703 Dangarsleigh Road, Armidale NSW 2350

Sun Valley is a substantial and versatile rural holding spanning 845.5 acres (approximately 342.1 hectares), situated just 7 km south of Armidale, providing convenient access to the city’s services while maintaining the privacy and space desirable in a premier farming property. This aggregation includes four separate properties across seven lots, all featuring road frontage and three additional housing entitlements, suggesting promising future subdivision opportunities subject to council approval.

The land is predominantly gently undulating basalt soil known for its fertility and is approximately 90% arable, making it highly suitable for mixed farming pursuits. The pastures are well-balanced with improved grass species like Phalaris, Cocksfoot, ryegrass, and clovers, supporting a range of agricultural activities including stud cattle, fat lambing, wool production, cattle fattening, and equine ventures.

Water infrastructure is robust and a standout feature of the property. A reticulated bore system with header tanks and gravity-fed troughs services all paddocks. This is complemented by additional dams, including an oversized semi-permanent dam, Powers Creek running through the land, and rainwater catchment tanks. The bore is equipped with solar power and delivers reliable water at 32 meters deep.

Fencing is extensive and well-maintained, subdividing the property into 37 paddocks with a mix of barbed, plain, electric wire, and some netting, supporting efficient livestock management. The climate includes an annual average rainfall of approximately 750mm, contributing to productive pasture growth.

The central homestead is a significant architectural highlight, a two-storey residence of quality construction offering six bedrooms and three bathrooms. Designed to capitalize on the surrounding countryside views, it features modern living spaces including a kitchen with an island bench connected to an open plan living area, multiple bathrooms plus powder rooms, a double garage with internal access, and thoughtful extras such as heated flooring, slow combustion heating, dual electric ovens, and external amenities like a pizza oven and expansive gardens.

Additional outbuildings support agricultural and storage needs, including a steel framed workshop with power and mezzanine storage, a 20-foot power-connected shipping container, grain silos with 35-tonne and flat bottom capacities, fuel storage tanks, and a Colorbond hayshed with internal stables. Livestock management infrastructure comprises steel cattle yards with undercover working areas, handling facilities, scales, drafting yards, and near-new national sheep yards.

This holding is ideally suited to those seeking a productive mixed farming operation with strong infrastructure in place. Its size and scope offer flexibility for cropping, grazing, equestrian activities, and potentially subdividing to alter scale or investment. The proximity to Armidale ensures easy access to education, health, retail, and agricultural services, enhancing the lifestyle and operational efficiencies of this significant rural property.
