2936 Dog Trap Road

Jeir NSW 2582

I left Belconnen to embark on what I thought was going to be an epic journey on a goat track to a farmhouse in the scrub, what I found was a stress free 20 minute drive on good roads with fabulous views.
The last 2kms on a private well maintained dirt road were an easy adventure as the road wound its way down to the Murrumbidgee River.
I turned into the drive again anticipating a farmhouse in a paddock. This time I was truly in shock. A stunning architecturally designed solar passive home sits nestled on the hillside, taking advantage of a view from every fold and angle of the building, this remarkable stone and timber home is nestled amongst one of the most beautiful gardens I have encountered in Canberra. Grapes hang from vines running around the home, grapefruit, red currants, asparagus, tomatoes and strawberries. Persimmons and plums. Nectarines and apples! Anna, the owner jokes about the volume of fruit from the orchard, and how the birds have been having a good feed!
Anna tells me about lazy days kayaking on the river, to which there is direct access to from the property. About getting up early to pick raspberries and the love she has put into the property.
This home will appeal to those who want country life with an easy commute to the city, it offers low cost living with fresh spring water, wood fires, fresh produce and solar boosted hot water.
A new kitchen has been installed and the living areas branch out from the centre of the home, again Anna says why have a tiny house out in all of this space. And she is right.
This home will not appeal to everyone - it is a home that requires a level of understanding of the life on a property in the bush and of general maintenance.
Anna, would like to get to know you also, the gardens will be maintained and she will take care of the majority of pruning, weeding and lawn mowing.
If this home sounds like you, please contact me to arrange and inspection, but be quick, I have fallen in love with this property and may rent it myself!
