Murrumbateman NSW 2582

Space restrictions that stem from living on small suburban plots simply don't exist on rural acreages; essentially you can design a larger home with endless living area orientation flexibilities, add a tennis court, swimming pool, plant orchards and build sheds. You can change your entire life fabric.
Also, many country blocks can allow for the addition of second dwellings.

Lot 187 in Stage 2 of Murrumbateman's The Fields development provides you with more than enough space to unleash your creative property aspirations. Well elevated with a slight rolling contour to the north, this fabulous 2.57 acre block of land provides the ideal development base to top with everything you've always wanted.

Backed by a sheltering row of mature evergreen trees, the block's superb northern contour allows you to face your living areas and verandahs towards the uninterrupted country sunlight and have the choice between a sublimely elevated single level, or contour-conforming split level new home design.
Located on closed road in a discreet section of The Fields, you get to enjoy all the benefits of idyllic seclusion without being remote.

Essentially, this is an amazing block that's within sight of the world class Shaw Wines, and few minutes drive to the expanding social conveniences of Murrumbateman village. This is your chance to fully immerse yourself in a beautiful country lifestyle, but only have a short 25 minute commute to the ACT.
