Old Minton

Description

When you need to escape from the daily grind, treat yourself to a unique country experience at Old Minton Farmstay Homestead, where you can blissfully enjoy peace and quiet in a picturesque and private location.
Situated on 770 acres in the high country region of Southeast NSW, the property boasts a mixture of native woodlands, rolling hills of open farm land, and of course crisp, clean mountain air.
There are plenty of bushwalking tracks throughout the property, with many leading to some lovely picnic spots that have spectacular views over undulating hills and natural bushland.
With an abundance of native animals and birds and a stunning array of wildflowers, a holiday at Old Minton offers a chance to connect with nature and an opportunity to get back to basics.
The spacious 5 bedroom homestead offers fully self contained accommodation with everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable holiday.
Old Minton Farmstay will appeal to bushwalkers, photographers, artists, wildlife & nature lovers, families & even those thinking of moving to a rural area & wish to experience a taste of country living.
It's a great place for a romantic escape, family holiday, group get together, workshop groups or reunion with old friends.
The farmstay is only 90 minutes from either Canberra or the skifields and an hour to lakes and the Sapphire Coast, making it a great base for your next holiday.
The property is only 4 kms out of the village, so if you need to go to the General Store or you fancy a latte it's only a short drive to the shops in Nimmitabel!
Whether it's for a weekend or longer, a stay at Old Minton will leave you feeling like you have actually had a holiday! We feel blessed to be able to share this amazing part of Australia with you and look forward to your visit!
