Classic country home located at the entrance to the beautiful Burra Valley and with a very easy drive into Canberra, Jerrabomberra, Queanbeyan or few minutes' drive into the growing township of Googong.
Scattered timber and open grazing allow a range of animals to be kept here, whether that be a small band of sheep, horses for the kids or allow the native wildlife to flourish, the choice is yours. Past property history is obvious with a substantial steel shearing shed, very well built and maintained, plus installed equipment for 2 boards (stands). A great opportunity to run a local shearing business possibly.
Established gardens surround the four bedroom homestead providing shade and shelter and quite a lot of privacy. From the driveway follow the pathway into the house yard and on into a classic welcoming country verandah, it is well sheltered and tucked into the home. From here you can enter into the kitchen with its Everhot wood fired stove with wet-back, very cozy in winter and it also heats your hot water. Once mastered the meals prepared in these ovens are superb. However, there is also an electric stove and cooktop for warmer weather, along with ample cupboards and a dining room area adjacent.
Generous lounge and family rooms, new carpet throughout, two bathrooms and a generous rear verandah with expansive views across the paddock and rolling hills towards the nearby Googong Dam, this home is the real deal and has been in this family for a few decades now.
Great infrastructure is included, the 4 bay machinery shed/carports, extensive workshop space plus the excellent shearing shed that offers many possibilities.
Water is provided via a bore with a quoted 5000 lph (1200 gph) flow, four rain water storage tanks, including the main homestead tank of 100,000lt and a dam.
Fruit trees, a vegetable garden and chicken house are all part of the package on a rural property and these have been well developed over many years and provide an ideal basis to build on.
Burra has a vibrant inclusive community and has just completed the annual Burra Open Garden weekend with many visitors enjoying the short trip from Canberra, Queanbeyan and Googong.
