Last Listing description (September 2019)
This luxurious Rawson Home captures the essence of modern country style, it's warm and welcoming yet sophisticated with clean lines and refined finishes. Neutral tones and natural materials further celebrate the surrounding landscape. Set on acreage within the prestigious Jiparu Estate, it's the perfect escape from life's busy pace and within easy commuting distance of Canberra.
Positioned to maximise the north sun, the home is full of light with large windows providing uninterrupted views of the rural outlook from every room. Uncompromising in its quality and attention to detail, features include nine-foot ceilings and Caesarstone benchtops throughout.
Country living is all about spending time at home. The generous, open plan kitchen and family room is a highlight. Designed as the central meeting place for the family to gather and share stories, it's inviting, functional and authentic. The large wood heater adds to the atmosphere and warmth.
An established hobby farm, the level block has been divided into two well-fenced paddocks and holding yards, perfect for horses or sheep. Established infrastructure includes a three bay shed with workshop space plus ample provision for water with a 112,000-litre tank.
The Murrumbateman community adds to the appeal. Laid back country values underpin a vibrant, close-knit community bursting with activity. Farmer's markets, an excellent local pub and pony club are on offer along with the thriving food and wine scene at renowned local wineries.
The inspired lifestyle of growing veggies, collecting eggs, welcoming a new lamb and feeling a shared responsibility for caring for our land is something many of us dream of. Add this beautiful home into the mix and you can understand why those who move to the country are very unlikely to return.
