Legume

A scenic gateway with strong ties to rural heritage and forested beauty.

Nestled near the Acacia Plateau, Legume is a rural gem known for its prime beef cattle production and fertile red soils that grow some of Australia's finest potatoes and kiwifruit. Visitors are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views from the plateau, making Legume a perfect spot to experience the rich agricultural heritage and stunning natural beauty of the Border Mountains region.

Legume is a launch point for horse riders and trail bikers heading into rugged state forests.
Local properties and tour operators offer trail access and accommodation for those seeking a wilderness escape on horseback or two wheels.
