Price reduction - vendors committed elsewhere. Reasonable offers considered.

Properties that provide a perfect balance between your personal lifestyle needs and those of your horses can be difficult to find.

Every horseperson's greatest joy is to not only have their horses on-block with them, but also have the paddock space and facilities to completely immerse yourself in them. 

It's an experience in personal contentment.

15 Sylvia Street gives you an ideal lifestyle narrative with excellent equestrian influences and an outstanding dual-occupancy opportunity.

Firstly, the evocative 241m2 tactile mud brick home features 3 spacious bedrooms with robes, including a 36m2 master suite, mellow garden-gallery style lounge room with wood heater, modern fully equipped kitchen and 1.9m wide wrap-around verandahs.

The much loved home is superbly presented, and all wet areas have been stylishly elevated to an attractive modern standard. 

Care was taken to ensure the home's bird-packed country gardens were styled to envelope and thematically complement the home perfectly.  

Neatly mulched flower and perennial beds, cooling green pads of lawn and superb mature trees all come together to help project the home's brilliant rural appeal.

The keynote garden feature is its sparkling emerald green in-ground swimming pool that's artfully set in 2.5m high precisely clipped Pittosporum hedges and red pavers. Yes, poolside at 15 Sylvia Street is the place to be on one of our upcoming summer evenings.

Now for your horses.

Everyone likes to saddle up without floating up.

15 Sylvia comes with its own 40m x 20m river sand arena, a completely practical 2 box stable block with 3m wide saddle/plait up breezeway, wash bay and an earthy original timber shearing shed that now serves as the property hay/shed.

The excellent 4.25ac block is currently sectioned into 4 hot wired paddocks, with the largest being capable of a division of laneway connected livestock day yards. The front paddock is ideal for foaling or an orchard development.

Alternatively, as this larger paddock spans the entire western flank of the property, it's ideal for a fully segregated single title second dwelling development. With the current home and establishment set to the property's east, this block section could be used to build a home and sheds to accommodate an extended family scenario.

Essentially, 15 Sylvia Street is an absolute gem of a property with something for everybody and everything.

The possibilities appear endless.

Executive Level Residence Blue Ribbon Location 467m2 Under Roof

Many people ask what distinguishes one block of land from another, and our usual answer is to simply go and step on them. Feel them underfoot.

Until you personally experience a block of land, you can't possibly determine that it's an ideal physical and creative fit for your visions.

Located in a quiet cul-de-sac on the perimeter of Murrumbateman village, and just 25 minutes from Canberra, this amazing block of land is what you need to realise your new home dreams.

Its superb northern aspect allows you to design your new home with the living areas to its front, and bedrooms to the rear and the cooler south, then add the spa and pool, shed and gardens.

The block's flexible RU5 (village) zoning and rectangular shape also makes it ideal for dual-occupancy dwellings under the single or strata titles.

Under either scenario each dwelling would have on a 50% or 771m2 share of the block.

Whether you're a larger family style of buyer, or a builder/developer the attractive dual-occupancy permissions give you enormous lifestyle flexibilities, and maximum investment returns.

The NSW Government Low Rise Housing Diversity Code could mean that this block may be used for a dual occupancy with strata title subdivision under Complying Development approval, which is a completely different path to the Development Application (DA) process.

 Lot 17 is perfectly elevated with a mild contour and within walking distance of the pulsing village shops, café's, food outlets and services. The younger kids can even walk to the primary school each morning too.

Setting wise, Summerfield Rise is a recent edge of village development consisting of just 26 similar sized Lots that have no time to build stipulations and are connected to the mainstream village water and sewerage systems.

Murrumbateman is a rapidly progressing area that should reach town size within the next 10 years. 

This forecast growth is underpinned by an expanding array of local services that include doctors, dentists, pharmacists and trades. Two recent social infrastructure upgrades included the partial duplication of the Barton Highway to Canberra and the opening of the Murrumbateman Primary School. 
Yes, it's an energetically prosperous place to live with the average population age being 42 years. 

But many retirees are now discovering the benefits of living in the country and having the required services either down the street, in nearby Canberra or in Yass which is 14 minutes drive away.

If you're a developer, a dual-occ development with a stunning home and easily maintained block of land could prove popular with these retiree buyers.
Lifestyle wise, Murrumbateman is firmly placed on the tourism map due to its world class vineyards and cellar door outlets and restaurants. 

Essentially, this is your chance to break free of city layout planning restrictions associated with tight postage stamp city blocks and build to the limits of your dreams, not just a limited block size.

So, you're welcome to come along and stand on beautiful ground!

Secondly, double brick homes get serious renovators and flippers pulses racing.

There's ample opportunity to add a new kitchen with butlers' pantry on the ground level and use some of the upper level recreation area for an additional bedroom. 

Both bathrooms could be fully renovated into modern chic' wet areas, effectively servicing each level. There's plenty of space in the lower bathroom to add a huge double-sized shower recess and drenching rain head.

All of this amazing space is fully adaptable and ready to live in whilst you upgrade around you. You could live on one level whilst modernising the other.

Lastly, if you're a commercial buyer or developer, the property's Hercules Street frontage and large level block could be an ideal opportunity for a business or services outlet. 

Additionally, our vendor has the adjacent rear 2023m2 vacant Lot at 9 Camp Street for sale through Elders, and we can arrange a negotiated price for both Lots. This would provide a commercial buyer with a total of 2 Lots of 4046m2/1 acre of village precinct land with main street frontage, and the potential for multiple access points and ample room for parking facilities.

Essentially, 14 Hercules Street is a potential packed property regardless of what perspective you may be viewing it from.
