Location & lifestyle

Be part of ‘connected country’ – the beauty of rural life while enjoying quick access to all you need. Within just 5 minutes you can be in the main township of Scone or heading onto the new Hunter Expressway, which reduces the trip to Newcastle and Sydney by over 20 minutes.

Everything you need – national and local retailers, renowned private and public schools, childcare, sporting clubs and transport – is just minutes away.

Somerset Downs is also ideally located for day-trips to the Hunter Valley’s famous vineyards, and the lush Burning Mountain Nature Reserve and Lake Glenbawn State Park.

Transport

Scone lies on the Main North railway line, and is served by a passenger train service made up of a daily NSW TrainLink train to Sydney and local regular NSW TrainLink services to Newcastle.
