Lovingly held and owner-occupied for the past 26 years, this much-loved property is now being offered for genuine sale as the owner looks to move closer to family. Combining sustainability, lifestyle, and productivity, the property presents a rare opportunity to secure an established and fully productive small farm on the edge of Yass.
Set on a productive holding, the property features an established olive grove of approximately 300 trees (20+ years old) producing multiple oil varieties, a vineyard with 65 mature grape vines, a diverse orchard of stone fruit and nut trees, and generous vegetable gardens. Together, these plantings have provided the current owners with a thriving hobby farm and an enviable paddock-to-plate lifestyle.
The home, completed in 2008 with occupancy granted in 2024, offers 243m² of thoughtfully designed living space. Constructed with 450mm straw bale walls for superior insulation and year-round comfort, it includes spacious open plan living zones, a modern kitchen with a gas cooktop and electric oven, multiple reverse cycle air conditioners, and a wood heater for cosy winters.
Supporting infrastructure is extensive, including a 6m x 7m Double Garage (built in 2000), a 20A welding circuit, and a plumbed, approved toilet. Additional storage comes via a shipping container and an old caravan, plus multiple water tanks with a combined main storage of 93,000L connected to the home and four auxiliary tanks. A 10kW solar system offsets energy costs and often reduces power bills to near zero.
