Last Listing description (December 2016)
Rural properties of this calibre so close to Canberra rarely come to market, especially with so much infrastructure, plus a land size of nearly 18Ha (44 acres) with a good mix of pasture and scattered timber.
Burra is emerging as a hidden gem as more and more people explore the rural areas around the growing town of Googong.
With two planned subdivisions coming up that will be offering much smaller block sizes, now is the time to secure this brilliant smallholding.
So, if you are looking for s p a c e to live, and would like to become a little more self-sufficient, run a horse or two for the kids, fatten a few cattle, run some sheep or alpacas, then this may be just the place you and your family have been looking for.
This generous North facing three bedroom plus ensuite home with multiple living areas (potential to convert one of these to a fourth bedroom), offers a very comfortable rural home which has great street appeal.
Established deciduous trees planted many years ago allow winter sun to filter through to the home. With a choice of front and rear verandahs, with stunning valley views, lawns and patios all offering a range of great places to relax, entertain or to have a BBQ.
Double attached auto garage with internal access is a great plus, however it is the extensive infrastructure surrounding this home, along with the beautiful established gardens, that are significant and would take you many years, plus a lot of time and money to establish.
This is a great opportunity to secure a great small farm where you and your family can reap the benefits and enjoy the facilities created by past owners.
Multiple machinery sheds consist of the following 18mX12mX4.8m (approx.) industrial shed with 3 phase power. Four bay machinery shed/stock shed for shearing, and a cool room used for home processing. Hay shed, silo, chicken yards, dog run, waste furnace, propagation shed, LARGE automated glass house with raised bed and watering systems that will ensure you can grow produce all year round! More storage sheds, bore, multiple tanks including concrete main house tank (has propagating shed on top), the list goes on. Good fencing and multiple paddocks.
This is an exquisite opportunity to acquire a great property that has it all. Tucked away on a quiet no through road with an approximately 20 minutes' drive to Queanbeyan, and much shorter drive into Googong township with its school and growing facilities.
