Discover Gloucester

Gloucester, nestled in the Mid-Coast Council region of New South Wales, is a town characterised by rolling green hills, lush pastures, and a thriving dairy and beef cattle industry. This charming locale is your gateway to the breathtaking Barrington Tops National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its pristine wilderness and diverse flora and fauna.

A Tree Change and Simpler Way of Life

As early as 1851 the famous colonial clergyman John Dunmore Lang observed that “Gloucester is one of the best sites for an inland town, I have ever seen in the colony.” Rural living in Gloucester allows you to escape the noise and congestion of urban areas and enjoy a more relaxed pace of life for you and your growing family.

Rural properties often come with substantial land holdings, multiple living spaces, shed and storage spaces providing plenty of room for various outdoor activities. Whether you’re interested in establishing a hobby farm, cultivating your garden, or simply relishing the freedom of vast open spaces, Gloucester’s rural properties offer the canvas for your aspirations.
