Access The properties are presently reached via the established Owens Trail from the SconeBarrington Road through neighbouring land and the vendor's adjoining property. This route is in regular use and can be followed on Google Maps and NSW SIX Maps. A network of Crown public roads remains through the locality. There is also potential for a substantially easier future access route via neighbouring land to the south, connecting directly to the SconeBarrington Road. While no agreement currently exists, establishing such an arrangement presents an attractive long-term opportunity for a purchaser. Conservation Lots 90 and 93 are subject to a registered Property Vegetation Plan (PVP) under the Native Vegetation Act 2003. The PVP provides a conservation framework expiring 2031 that includes protection of native vegetation, exclusion of grazing, weed and feral animal management,, fire planning and environmental monitoring. Properties of this scale and environmental quality are increasingly rare.
