Blackwood is very private, with State Forest on all but the northern boundary, with water being a major feature. There are three permanent streams and some stunning, hidden waterfalls. A nature lovers paradise with great potential, from eco touristic enterprises to plantations and cropping on the other end of the scale.
Wildlife is prominent with trout on the doorstep.
