Following their recent move to Canberra, the owners of a well-constructed family home on a 2.02ha parcel of land with stunning views across the Yass Valley and surrounds, are hoping the recent popularity of the town will entice more buyers to their upcoming auction.
The home at 108 Kirkton Road, Yass is one of a number of properties benefiting from the surge of interest in relocating to the community of Yass.
According to commercialrealestate.com.au, recent data revealed Yass to be the number one searched area in rural Australia followed by Goulburn, Mildura, Bathurst and Cooma.
Rounding out the top ten were McLaren Vale in South Australia, then the central west towns of Orange, Dubbo and Mudgee. Singleton in the Hunter Valley ranked tenth.
Ray White Yass and Rural Canberra agent Dominic Johns said the four-bedroom house would appeal to tree-changers or expanding local families.
“Yass has become gradually more and more attractive to non-locals, and it makes sense," he said.
"We’re only 10 minutes to Murrumbateman, half an hour to Canberra. You can create a rural lifestyle and the quaint community with all benefits of being within a short commute to the cation’s capital.
Yass is a picturesque historic town within the capital region, which has seen a solid growth rate of 11.6 per cent within the last year.
“It is both a good place to invest and live,” Mr Johns said.
“This home is built with the family at the heart. A large well-equipped kitchen opens into formal and casual living areas providing an ideal place for entertaining or enjoying family dinners. There’s a large rumpus providing a space for the kids to do what kids do. The five acres are well fenced into paddocks and a house yard, ideal for a couple horses or a few sheep. There’s a large American-style shed with ample room for vehicles and storage."
Mr Johns said there was no need for the new owners to worry about water.
“155,000L of storage is available from three tanks," he said.
"A community bore also connects water to the property, plus a licensed private bore is on the property. The home is kept comfortable year round with ducted gas heating as well as evaporative cooling.”
The three bedrooms all have built-in wardrobes plus a master with a walk in robe and ensuite.
“With the owners already committed to relocating into Canberra this is a smart opportunity to acquire a slice of the Yass Valley," Mr Johns said.
“This property offers the ideal rural lifestyle in Yass, being only 25 minutes to the ACT border it's within an easy commute. Then when you get here you have a beautiful home on five acres, with stunning views across the valley.”
The auction is scheduled for 11am, 15 November 2018 at Old Parliament House, Canberra.
