What an amazing place! Bald Rock Country Retreat is situated on 383 acres in between Tenterfield and Stanthorpe and is part of the northern New South Wales tablelands.

Functioning as a successful eco retreat for the past 15 years, it accommodates up to 22 guests and is the perfect setting for yoga retreats, art classes and music festivals – or for you to simply get away and enjoy the soundless ambience of the Australian countryside.

The property has been featured in travel television shows and numerous magazine articles and was the backdrop for a number of photo shoots and television ads. The property has great possibility for further development and future uses such as hobby farm, a country property to keep horses, golf course or even a vineyard. Further development could include cabins, which are already council approved.

The land consists of forests, pastures and boulder country and there is wildlife in abundance. There is water forever, with a lake stocked with fish and a large, permanent, spring fed dam.

Drive in or land your light aircraft on the property’s air strip! The drive from Brisbane, Gold Coast and Byron Bay is 3 hours and the closest airports are Armidale, Lismore and Ballina.

Bald Rock Country Retreat is an authentic Spanish hacienda complex consisting of a large main house with its dining hall and a great kitchen and this accommodates the owners. Adjacent are 3 self-contained apartment buildings with private entrances, each with Mexican furnishings, en suite bathrooms, a rooftop terrace and open parlour-style fireplaces.

There is a shared games room, horse stables, garages and the surrounding grounds show off many species of mature, exotic plants. The huge organic vegetable garden provides delicious vegetables and herbs all year round.

There is further fascinating eclectic accommodation cabins on the property. There is the Lake Cabin, totally built over the lake with a bedroom and en suit bathroom, its own kitchen, fireplace and it is solar powered. Then there is a rustic Lakeside Hideaway Cabin with cosy interiors, a kitchenette and a large open fireplace. Thirdly, there is the barn style Bunk House sleeps up to 8 guests, and its handcrafted interior and furnishings are beautifully rustic.

It has a separate loft room, a bathroom, kitchen and yet another huge, open fireplace.

To finish the “story” is the maintenance workshop, the storage and machinery shed that are part of the farm buildings and the purpose built timber cattle yards have a loading ramp. You are at an elevation of 1000m above sea level with a very comfortable climate in both summer and winter. The annual rainfall is above 1000mm and the property is in “tick free” country!

Bald Rock Country Retreat is right out of the ordinary and good place to be!
