About Hazelgrove

Hazelgrove is a small rural locality in the Oberon Council area of New South Wales, situated in the Central Tablelands approximately 12 kilometres south of the township of Oberon and around 48 kilometres from Bathurst. The locality sits at an elevation of around 1,100 metres above sea level, contributing to its cool, high-altitude climate and scenic pastoral landscapes. With a population of just 97 residents across roughly 35 dwellings, Hazelgrove is a quiet, sparsely settled farming area where large rural and lifestyle properties dominate the landscape.

The surrounding Oberon region is known for its agricultural production including beef cattle, prime lambs, and cool-climate horticulture such as potatoes and brassicas, and Hazelgrove properties reflect this rural character with substantial grazing land. Residents rely on the nearby town of Oberon for everyday services, schools, and shopping, while Bathurst provides access to a full range of regional amenities within about a 40-minute drive. The area appeals to those seeking a peaceful, semi-remote lifestyle on the New South Wales tablelands, with fresh mountain air and wide open paddocks.
