Before long, the four active bidders dropped down to two families fighting it out for the home.The bidding kept rising from $3.125 million to $3.15 million, until it paused at $3.175 million.There was a moment’s hesitation from the two active bidders, with one family bowing out of the race and the other family bidding against themselves before the hammer dropped and the property sold to them for $3.25 million. This is a record sale for the Coombs area.<img alt="31 Annabelle COOMBS, ACT 2611" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2021-08-01_at_1.11.58_pm.width-800.png" width="800">The auctioneer, Frank Walmsley of Auction Advantage, said the new owners “showed a type of strength” to secure the home.Ms Noubdakht said she was relieved and extremely happy with the result.“I haven’t slept for a few days,” she said.According to Ms Noubdakht, the new owners have shown interest in the property “from day one” of the campaign.<img alt="31 Annabelle COOMBS, ACT 2611" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_5366.width-800.jpg" width="800">The property was built in 2018 by Modern Constructions and inspired by modern European design.With over 452sqm of living space and spread across two levels, the modern family home has an abundance of luxurious features.

A quaint, circa-1900 weatherboard cottage on 78 acres of rolling pasture and only 15 minutes out of Braidwood will have you calling “tally-ho” to life in the ‘burbs.But <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/269-tally-ho-road-braidwood-nsw-2622-45077/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">269 Tally Ho Road</a> offers so much more.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_269 Tally Ho Rd5.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_269_Tally_Ho_Rd5.width-800.jpg" width="800">It’s well and truly a slice of rural heaven where urban dwellers will forget the hustle and bustle of city life with every breath of country air.For <a href="https://www.belleproperty.com/braidwood/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Belle Property Braidwood</a> principal <a href="/agents/kelly-allen-2/">Kelly Allen</a>, it’s a property that oozes charm.The property boasts just over 78 acres of good grazing land suitable to run cattle, sheep or horses or, as Kelly says, just letting kids roam free.But she also says it’s very much a property that could work for someone who wants to dabble in farming but has never previously given it a go.It’s already fully fenced and divided into six paddocks, meaning your work is minimal.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_269 Tally Ho Rd4.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_269_Tally_Ho_Rd4.width-800.jpg" width="800">The grounds are also home to three dams, one of which is spring fed, offering permanent water and a permanent well.Across the lane, you’ll also find a good size paddock that would make a perfect horse paddock close to the house, again complete with a spring-fed dam.There are multiple sheds across the property, including a fully functioning woolshed, lock up garage, feed sheds and animal shelters, plus a sturdy set of cattle yards and chook pen.Of course, living in the countryside doesn’t mean you have to give up creature comforts.“For a 1900 home, it’s definitely quaint, but it is comfortable,” Kelly explained.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_269 Tally Ho Rd3.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_269_Tally_Ho_Rd3.width-800.jpg" width="800">The kitchen, in particular, harks back to the 1940s or ’50s with distressed cabinetry and several original features remaining, including an old Aga and space where the hearth once would have sat.This room flows easily onto a large dining room where you’ll be hard-pressed to draw your eyes away from the views of rolling hills and green fields offered by the large window.However, this window cannot compare to the size of the one found in the generous living room – it’s very much the primary feature of the room, and the current owners have organised their furniture around it.Absolutely no TV is necessary in this sun-drenched north-facing sunroom, that’s for sure.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_269 Tally Ho Rd2.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_269_Tally_Ho_Rd2.width-800.jpg" width="800">Another living space has a more traditional arrangement, including a stunning, cosy fireplace.Four generously sized bedrooms allow for ample breathing space for all the family, and will also make great guest areas when you welcome the many visitors you’re sure to have.A practical family bathroom is also allowed for, but Kelly says the home could definitely benefit from future renovations to perfectly adapt it to the new owner’s style.“I think the new owners of this home could be people who are willing to give a new farming lifestyle a go, or even just have a bit of a muck around,” Kelly said.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_269 Tally Ho Rd7.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_269_Tally_Ho_Rd7.width-800.jpg" width="800">To arrange an inspection of the charming <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/269-tally-ho-road-braidwood-nsw-2622-45077/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">269 Tally Ho Road</a> in Braidwood, call <a href="/agents/kelly-allen-2/">Kelly Allen</a> on 0466 632 696.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/youll-call-tally-ho-to-city-life-as-soon-as-you-see-this-country-cottage/479085" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>

Rare opportunity to secure a huge family home in an outstanding location

It is not often that you stumble across a property that has as much history as <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/945-monaro-highway-cooma-nsw-2630-40067/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">945 Monaro Highway</a> in Cooma. From an inn, restaurant, antique store, pottery house, café, bed &amp; breakfast, and now a private residence, there isn’t much this property hasn’t seen.Built in 1841, the property was formerly known as John Cullen’s Hotel and served as a staging inn with a blacksmith workshop and prisoner&#x27;s cell out the back.<img alt="945 Monaro Highway COOMA, NSW 2630" class="richtext-image full-width" height="660" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2021-07-26_at_2.49.14_pm.width-800.png" width="800">Known today as the Squatters Arms Hotel, it is famous for having been raided by the Clarke Gang in 1866. The Clarke Gang were bushrangers from Braidwood who raided the former inn for money, food, and alcohol.Today, this immaculately renovated home offers a modern family lifestyle but with many remnants of its past intact, including stone feature walls, high ceilings, fireplaces, an underground cellar, large stone stables out the back and a hardwood front veranda.<img alt="945 Monaro Highway COOMA, NSW 2630" class="richtext-image full-width" height="527" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2021-07-26_at_2.53.29_pm.width-800.png" width="800">But the most poignant feature of the property is an etching of the name ‘John Byrne’ found on the glass of a front window. According to a post made on the current owners’ <a href="https://www.instagram.com/squattersarms/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram account,</a> John Byrne was a young fiancé, whose suitor had scratched his name into the glass to prove that the ring was in fact a diamond.The six-bedroom residence has a $1 million price guide and is currently under offer.

It is likely that this space would have originally been the inn’s tap room.To the left is the dining room, kitchen with a five-burner gas stove, and bathroom with its very own fireplace. The inn’s original kitchen is located out the back and has been impressively restored as a separate guest house with the original cast iron woodfire that was once used to bake bread still intact.

Opulent Coombs home with heated pool is nothing short of spectacular

A few weeks ago we shared the <a href="https://zango.com.au/news/adam-headings-generous-gift-to-save-his-brothers-life/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">heart warming story</a> of local real estate agent, <a href="/agents/adam-heading/">Adam Heading</a>, and his generous donation to save his brother Marc. After being diagnosed with Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) at 9 years old which caused complete renal failure, Marc is now 41 and has survived thanks to kidney donations from his father, mother, and now brother. We are thrilled to report that Adam’s and Marc’s surgery was a huge success, and Adam is already back at work – just in time to break a suburb record for his client in Richardson. Recounting his experience in the Brisbane hospital, Adam says “On the Tuesday of the surgery I was supposed to go in first with Marc to follow. However, when they did an ultrasound they couldn’t find one of his old kidneys from 30 years ago which needed to be removed. So after a 6 hour operation to find and remove it, I went under and then we were both moved to recovery.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_HH3.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_HH.width-800.jpg" width="800">“It went really, really well – all of his levels are fantastic at the moment, and it was amazing to watch him be able to have an extra large Starbucks coffee! That’s something we take for granted, but it was the first time he could have that much liquid in nearly 3 years. That picture alone made it all worthwhile for me.”Adam remained in recovery for 2 days before flying back to Canberra on the Friday. “It has been a few weeks and I’m still sore and can’t lift anything over 5kg for a while. I also get fatigued more quickly as the stitches are healing. But it’s remarkable to see how much medicine has advanced. 30 years ago, my dad had 76 staples from his belly button to his spine. Now, the same surgery is considered keyhole surgery and there are no external stitches.”Of his recent <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/80-fullerton-richardson-act-2905-42387/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">record-breaking sale in Richardson</a>, Adam says he is delighted for the vendor and buyer. “It was a fantastic result; the previous suburb record was $815,000 for a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom on a 1,033sqm block. This property was a 3 bedroom plus study with 1 bathroom and sold for $824,000. Our vendors and the couple who bought it were over the moon. “It definitely shows how much the local market has grown. Be it the Tuggeranong, Belconnen or Queanbeyan regions – people realise how central they are and that they can be an unbelievable place to live in terms of amenities and proximity to the city. Places like Oaks Estate near Queanbeyan are absolutely prime real estate now; I’m so excited to see how the market continues to evolve.”<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_HH2.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_HH.width-800_KFHNfNR.jpg" width="800">Adam is very optimistic about the future for both him and his brother, and is looking forward to growing his agency <a href="http://www.headinghomeproperties.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Heading Home Properties</a> with his partner Danielle and their children by his side. “Danielle has come on board full time now, which is great because we just signed up 2 more properties in the last 2 days! Throughout the surgery I don’t think we really stopped – we were always on our laptops and phones organising new listings and inspections, but that’s the way we love it.”Adam is working with the Canberra Raiders to organise an auction date for a collection of donated memorabilia which will go towards supporting Marc in his recovery over the next few months. We will announce the details of this auction on our Facebook page when they have been confirmed.
