Glenview is an ideal escape for couples, but also for families or a group of 6 guests, wanting total seclusion and privacy. The house is a wilderness mountain retreat surrounded by breathtaking views of the Blue Mountains Escarpment and Nellie's Glen.
You will enjoy total seclusion, but you will be close to many of the adventures offered within the Blue Mountains Heritage listed area, such as horse riding, bush walking and all the tourist venues in the area.
The drive from Blackheath includes 2 kms of unsealed road. The house is accessible by most vehicles, though cars with low clearance should take care. Roads in Megalong may be subject to flooding, snow and ice during severe weather.
"Glenview" consists of 168 acres, with the land varying from open fields to thick bush and rugged terrain. There are un-fenced waterholes, creeks and steep, rocky ravines on the property. Children will need to be supervised at all times. Native birds, mammals, marsupials, arachnids, reptiles and insects are common.
Guests should wear appropriate clothing and footwear and be mindful of safety at all times. Whether open or closed, all gates should be left as they are found. Wildlife and livestock should be observed, but not approached or disturbed.
