Rural village about 70.5 km west of Sydney on Bells Line of Road in the City of Hawkesbury, sitting between Kurrajong and North Richmond on the way up to the Blue Mountains. At the 2021 census it had 850 residents. Kurmond — a portmanteau of Kurrajong and Richmond, originally known as Longleat — grew as a soldier-settlement and orchard district: the area was well known for its orchards, and the village retains an acreage, semi-rural character with horse paddocks and fruit growing along the road. Local reviewers rate it a quiet, low-key country suburb suited to families and acreage living (Homely).

Transport
Public transport is bus-only and car reliance is high: Kurmond has no railway station, and the village is served by Busways route 682, an infrequent loop service running along Bells Line of Road between Richmond station and Berambing/Bilpin with stops through Kurmond. Dedicated school-bus specials also run to and from Kurmond Public School (TransSee). The nearest rail head is Richmond station on the T1/T5 Richmond line, about 10 km east down Bells Line of Road.
Schools
Kurmond Public School — NSW government K–6 primary school on Bells Line of Road, the village's only school — had about 125 students in 2025. Secondary students attend Colo High School, the NSW government high school in adjacent North Richmond a few kilometres east along Bells Line of Road (Colo High School).
Shopping & Amenities
Kurmond village has a small shopping centre on Bells Line of Road including a post office, with the Kurmond Public School, a village store and a handful of local businesses clustered around it; two restaurants sit further east toward North Richmond. For supermarkets, banks and mainstream services residents head to Richmond or North Richmond, a short drive down the hill.
Parks & Outdoors
Kurmond's outdoors are its rural surrounds: acreage paddocks, orchards and horse properties fanning out from Bells Line of Road, with bush reserves and the Grose River valley country rising to the south-west toward Grose Vale. The village is a quiet base for the mountain scenery of Bells Line of Road — orchard country, lookouts and the Blue Mountains gateway within a short drive west — rather than a destination with parks of its own (Homely; Discover The Hawkesbury).
Property Market
The median house price in Kurmond was around ~$1.1M–$1.6M (2026 trackers diverge): realestate.com.au reported a median house price of $1,082,500 on 12 sales over 12 months (−12%), while Cotality/RP Data-derived data shows a median house value around $1.39–$1.4M (OnTheHouse $1,391,652; Property Value $1.4M median value on 16 sales with a 27.3% one-year median sale-price change), and Property Value's median sale-price figure was ~$1.6M (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. Very thin market: only 12–16 house sales in the last 12 months, so medians swing widely between trackers and windows — roughly $1.08M up to ~$1.6M median sale price (Property Value), with a ~$1.39–1.4M median value from Cotality/RP Data sources in between. The earlier guidance range of $1.3–1.8M sits at the top of what current data supports. Kurmond is essentially a house/acreage market — unit stock is negligible and unit 'medians' are unreliable sample artifacts, so none is quoted. Note the median value method (all homes incl. off-market) typically reads higher than transaction medians in quiet rural suburbs.
New Developments
Development is minimal: Kurmond is a small rural village of around 850 people with no notable project pipeline — activity is limited to acreage homes, farm buildings and small-scale rural DAs under Hawkesbury's rural zoning, consistent with only a dozen-odd sales a year. Historically the village hosted the original Airlite windows factory in the 1960s, but industry has long since gone.
Jobs & Local Economy
Local jobs are limited: farming, orchards and small rural businesses around the village, plus the school, post office and village shops, while most residents commute to nearby Richmond and North Richmond (or further to Penrith/Sydney) for work — a pattern local reviewers note alongside suitability for acreage-based and remote work.
