Luxury Farmstay with Highland Cows and Hill Views

In the heart of the Coal River Valley, Barrenjoey Farm blends slow living with understated luxury. The lovingly restored five-bedroom, four-bathroom farmhouse sits on 40 rolling acres, home to Highland cows, Swiss blacknose sheep, and curious alpacas. Inside, curated interiors mix vintage finds with modern comforts, including a fully equipped kitchen, generous dining spaces, and plush bedrooms designed for lingering mornings. Outside, an outdoor stone bath offers soaks under the stars or with sweeping views of the hills. Guests can wander the paddocks, gather around the firepit, or linger over long lunches on the terrace with a glass of cool-climate Tasmanian wine. With Richmond’s bakeries, Pooley Wines, and one of Australia’s oldest bridges just minutes away, every day offers the perfect balance of country charm and indulgence.
