About Segenhoe

Segenhoe is a rural locality in the Upper Hunter Shire, New South Wales, situated approximately 195 kilometres north-west of Sydney and 10 kilometres south of Scone. Covering around 72 square kilometres, the locality has a small population of approximately 219 residents and is characterised by expansive pastoral farmland. The area carries deep historical significance as the site of one of the earliest colonial land grants in the Hunter Valley, with the Segenhoe estate dating back to the early 1800s.

The locality is set in the heart of the Upper Hunter horse stud region, surrounded by some of Australia's most renowned equine properties and rolling pastoral landscapes. Residents live a quiet, semi-remote rural lifestyle with the township of Scone — the horse capital of Australia — providing everyday services, schools, and medical facilities nearby. The historic Segenhoe Inn (1837) in adjacent Aberdeen is a local landmark, and the broader region is celebrated for its rich agricultural heritage and scenic valley scenery.

Segenhoe falls under postcode 2337 and is governed by the Upper Hunter Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Parkes, while state elections fall under the Upper Hunter electorate.
