Country.
The valley.
The Allyn River runs along the eastern boundary. Sandstone ridgelines rise to the west, culminating at the Pinnacle, the highest point in the region at 520 metres. Between them: 1500 acres of working farmland, river flat, old-growth corridors, and access roads that wind the length of the property.
This is a working farm. Cattle graze the valley. The land operates on its own schedule, and guests move through it, not above it.
Every experience here begins and ends at the same place: the Dairy House on the river flat. From there, the land opens in every direction.
The Allyn River Valley
The Allyn River Valley runs through the Dungog area of the Hunter region, NSW, along the southern edge of the Barrington Tops. Chessenden Farm sits at the valley floor where the Allyn River bends through 1500 acres of working cattle country. The Barrington Tops rise directly behind the property. From Sydney the drive is three hours on sealed roads. The river runs cold year-round off the Tops, and the valley holds its temperature well into the afternoon.
