Set on 100-acres of lush pasture, dotted with the region’s snow gums and bordering the Kosciuszko National Park, Big Yard Farm welcomes guests for a premium stay on a working, regeneratively-operated cattle farm.
Around 15 minutes’ drive from the Snowy Mountains capital Jindabyne, Big Yard Farm offers a tranquil base from which to explore the region’s snow sports as well as popular summer activities like hiking, trout fishing and mountain biking.
Fresh water at Big Yard Farm comes directly from the Mowamba River which runs along the property’s front border, fed by snowy mountain streams. Renowned as blue-ribbon trout fishing territory, the river is also home to small fish and hopefully also platypus. Wombats and native birds enjoy a peaceful life along its banks.
A three-bedroom house with premium appointments, two open fires and a pool room, plus long verandahs for lounging and dining provides guests with a comfortable farm stay. The house is surrounded by rolling green lawns, gardens, grapevines and lavender rows, while fruit and nut trees lead to the help-yourself kitchen garden. All power is generated via rooftop solar panels.
Big Yard Farm is pup-friendly based on pre-approval and a wonderful chance for dogs to enjoy the free open spaces. As Big Yard Farm is a working cattle farm, pet owners need to be mindful of their pup’s behaviour around the cows.
