Last Listing description (July 2016)

As you enter this magnificent 40 acre property along the mature tree lined driveway, you'll gasp at the oasis parkland setting surrounding the colonial style homestead. An abundance of large exotic deciduous trees frame the gardens beautifully, providing wide shady lawn areas adjacent to the home and in-ground pool for those hot summer days; in autumn brilliant colour; and the winter sun streaming through all garden areas during the colder months. To complement enjoying the parkland, at the edge there is a small stage where many children's plays and budding family musicians can entertain those sprawling out on picnic rugs enjoying the company of family and friends in the great outdoors - The current property name 'Tir Na nOg' says it all - Irish mythology meaning 'Land of Youth'.
The single level architecturally designed colonial homestead is perfectly sited for solar passive orientation with living areas north facing and all enjoying the garden and rural vista. The floor-plan works perfectly, providing segregated living areas and generous proportioned rooms. Italian tiled floors on a concrete slab and solid internal brick wall retain the heat in winter, whilst in summer wide eaves, verandahs, pergolas and trees in full leaf keep out the hot sun for comfort. Double hung windows have been placed for cross ventilation in every room. In addition to the functional kitchen, a second preparation kitchen located in the utility room provides ample space and storage for preserving your home harvests and that extra kitchen space when entertaining. Hot water and power is free for most of the year with a 3kw solar power system and also three way hot water system - Beasley solar panels, Eureka slow combustion heater and an electric back up (which rarely needs to be switched on).
The fertile paddocks are level to gently undulating and would suit a variety of hobby farming activities with good stock carrying capacity and ample water from dams and bore.

How about golf?,,,, yes, a nine hole home golf course winds its way around the paddocks, crossing Oakey Creek which intermittently flows through the property - there's even an old metal water tank converted to being a small club room/man cave - cheekily referred to as being 'Wallaby Creek Country Club',,,,,(Golfers - ask Mark Johnstone for the internet link to the 'Wallaby Creek Country Club' website)
If golf is not your thing, the wide fairways adjust well to accommodating equine activities for jumps or wide open riding areas. Otherwise perfect grazing or agricultural land.
All of this just minutes form Hall Village and less than 30 minutes drive to Canberra CBD. A true rural lifestyle delight.
