128 McCowens Road, Bolivia

This impressive 32.37 hectare / 80 acre rural property has been thoughtfully created over years, with a clear vision of how country life should actually be enjoyed. Private and substantial, 128 McCowens Road brings together an expansive residence, extraordinary spaces for entertaining, established gardens, serious shedding and infrastructure, livestock facilities, and exceptional water security.

Then there is the completely separate guest cottage, which is a standout in its own right, rich in beautifully sourced hardwoods, individual character, and exceptional craftsmanship. This is a property where the quality and attention to detail reveal themselves everywhere you look.

And sometimes... even where you wouldn't think to look...

It is private. It is substantial. And it is anything but ordinary.

At the centre of the property is the sprawling brick residence, designed on a scale that immediately sets it apart.

The main living zone brings the kitchen, dining and lounge together in one generous open space, creating the kind of home where twenty people can gather without ever feeling crowded. The kitchen is equipped with a moveable island bench, quality appliances, excellent storage and a walk-in pantry, while multiple wood fires and reverse-cycle air conditioning provide year-round comfort.

But this house was never designed simply to accommodate people.

It was designed to bring them together.

Beyond the everyday living spaces is an extraordinary collection of entertaining areas. A huge dedicated entertaining room provides space for functions, music and gatherings, complete with its own stage, while adjoining bar and recreation spaces add another dimension entirely.

There is also a substantial screened entertaining area, allowing long lunches, barbecues and evenings with friends to continue regardless of the weather.

When the crowd disappears, the property returns to what may be its greatest luxury: absolute space and privacy.

The main bedroom opens directly to the verandah, allowing the first view of the morning to be across the surrounding countryside. A walk-in robe and private ensuite complete the retreat, while additional bedrooms, storage, bathroom facilities, laundry and extensive living areas make this a genuinely comfortable permanent family home rather than simply a weekend escape.

| The cottage |

Completely separate and self-contained, this is a residence with a character entirely its own.
Beautifully sourced hardwoods, aged galvanised iron, handcrafted finishes and leadlight features create an almost lodge-like atmosphere. Inside, an individual kitchen, butler's pantry, living and dining space, bedroom and bathroom are complemented by its own enclosed entertaining area and outdoor cooking facilities.

Even the bathroom has been designed as an experience, with an elevated bath positioned to take advantage of the outlook and a striking shower arrangement that brings the surrounding landscape visually into the room.

For visiting family or friends, it is exceptional. For short-stay accommodation, extended family, a private retreat, or a completely separate lifestyle space, the possibilities are equally compelling.

Outside, the scale of the property continues.

Established and irrigated gardens surround the improvements, complemented by vegetable gardens, animal enclosures and productive areas. Multiple dams provide additional water resources, including an impressive spring-fed dam with its own jetty, while extensive rainwater storage supports the residences and gardens.

For horses, cattle, machinery, vehicles or simply someone who needs room for everything, the infrastructure is already here.

A substantial barn-style shed provides excellent storage with mezzanine and drive-through capability, while additional shedding, workshop/studio space, carports, livestock yards and hay storage make the property as functional as it is impressive.

Mains power is connected, supplemented by solar, and the property is divided to allow practical management of livestock and land.

And despite the scale, you are not disappearing completely off the map.

Deepwater is approximately 17 kilometres away, with Tenterfield and the wider New England region within comfortable reach.

What makes 128 McCowens Road difficult to capture in photographs, floor plans or even words is the sheer amount that has been created here.

Whether you're looking for a private family estate, room for horses and livestock, multi-generational living, or simply somewhere with enough space to properly get away from it all, this is not a property you can fully appreciate from a listing or the roadside.

You need to come inside.
