Grazing Property with Carbon and Lifestyle Potential in Monaro Region
5 August 2025
Colliers brings Tumbledown to market – an accessible rural asset with carrying capacity, water security and offering potential for carbon projects.
Colliers Agribusiness is pleased to present Tumbledown, a grazing property in the tightly held Peak View district of New South Wales’ Monaro region, Located just 40 kilometres east of Cooma and 150 kilometres south of Canberra.
Comprising 955.54 hectares (2,361.14 acres) across 14 freehold titles, Tumbledown offers a rare combination of scale, versatility, and natural beauty. The property sits within a 700mm rainfall zone and features a mix of undulating open timbered grazing country and untouched remnant vegetation with granite outcrops, making it an ideal opportunity for both productive and recreational pursuits. Water security is supported by creeks and rainfed catchment dams.
A preliminary carbon assessment identifies approximately 230 hectares of cleared land with potential for environmental planting. If the full area is deemed suitable, a project has the potential to sequester an estimated 125,000 tonnes of carbon. The property is estimated to have a livestock carrying capacity of 1,000 to 1,350 dry sheep equivalents (DSE), suitable for sheep, cattle, or goats.
Recent infrastructure upgrades include extensive new fencing throughout, as well as existing cottage, three-stand shearing shed, steel cattle yards, machinery shed/workshop, and a grain silo.
Adrienne Harvey, Associate Director, Agribusiness at Colliers, said, “Land values in the Snowy Monaro region have more than doubled over the past five years. A key driver has been the growing interest in carbon projects, attributed to the region’s favourable soil types and vegetation communities. Tumbledown presents a compelling opportunity for buyers looking to capitalise on this trend.”
Nick Warmington, Executive, Agribusiness at Colliers, added, “The Peak View location offers both seclusion and accessibility, with proximity to Canberra making it ideal for a rural escape or lifestyle investment. The property’s natural features and preliminary carbon assessments suggest potential for environmental and recreational diversification.”
With a price guide around $1.5 million, Tumbledown is expected to attract interest from graziers, investors, and lifestyle buyers alike. The property also holds a dwelling entitlement, further enhancing its appeal as a rural retreat or farm stay venture.
