Big Yard Farm, Snowy Mountains adjoins Kosciusko National Park and boasts 500 metres blue ribbon river frontage
Welcome to Big Yard Farm in the beautiful Snowy Mountains. Set on 100-acres of lush pasture, dotted with the region’s signature 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.
Premium Interiors
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 luxuriously comfortable farm stay. The house is surrounded by rolling green lawns, gardens, grapevines, lavender rows and heritage roses, while chestnut and hazelnut trees join apple- and stone fruit trees on the way to the help-yourself kitchen garden.
Off-Grid, Sustainable Stay
A stay at Big Yard Farm is an environmentally sustainable one, as all power is generated via rooftop solar panels and onsite battery, fresh water is pumped from the river. There’s cross breeze ventilation and air-conditioning in the summer months while in winter underfloor heating is powered by rooftop solar, and a generous store of firewood is collected from around the farm.
Mowamba River
Fresh water at Big Yard Farm comes directly from the fast-flowing 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, an eel or two and hopefully also platypus. Wombats and native birds enjoy a peaceful life along its banks.
Pup Friendly
Big Yard Farm is pup-friendly based on pre-approval and a wonderful chance for dogs to enjoy the free open spaces – and dams – of the farm. As Big Yard Farm is a working cattle farm, owners need to be mindful of their pup’s behaviour around the cows – and vice versa!
