The Property

Located only 5 kms from the Hume highway via sealed road making it an easy 50-minute drive to Canberra city, 2.5 hours to Sydney and 15 minutes to Yass.

The property which is very private and picturesque runs from creek flats on permanent Boughyard creek and Katherines creek to undulating open grazing and some higher hill country. The land is mostly easterly fall making it sheltered and perfect for breeding. The pasture, which is mostly native grasses with clover and rye grass and some areas of phalaris is on granite based soils. Divided into 12 paddocks all with secure water with 5 dams and 2 creeks. Fencing is all hinge joint with barb and is in good condition.

The House

The house is a solar passive, off grid, north facing home that is double glazed and fitted with the highest levels of insulation. The home features a large open plan living area, raked ceilings, a north facing deck, a covered easterly deck, three large bedrooms all with built in robes, a study and master bedroom that has a walk in robe and ensuite bathroom. The floors in the living area are timber floating floor, the bedrooms are carpeted, and kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, a dishwasher, a butler's pantry and is open to the living space.

Heating is provided by a Coonara wood heater and there is also a gas heater and split system air conditioning. Hot water is gas infinity. The solar power system is 6.6 kva off grid with batteries, inverter and a back up automatic diesel generator. Car accommodation is provided by a double carport that is enclosed on three sides and there is an adjoining lock up storage area. There are four 20 thousand litre water tanks of which three are for house water and one is for the garden, and it is filled via a pump on the creek. Another two 25 thousand litre tanks are at the shed and water from those tanks can be pumped to the house if required. This home, by the nature of its design, is warm in winter, cool in summer and costs nothing to run, apart from the bottled gas, that is filled by a tanker every two months and averages $80.00 a month. Although the house is off grid the owners live a completely normal life with all the electric mod cons and the backup generator has only been needed very occasionally.
