Victorian-style homestead on Yass River actually built in the 1980s

It looks like a house from the set of a Netflix period drama but this home fronting the Yass River was actually built in the 1980s.

428 Yass River Road rests on 25 acres and has ample space for family and friends to join you as you relax in the countryside.

According to Ray White Rural Canberra and Yass real estate agent David Alexander, the property's Victorian appearance makes it a special home.

“Obviously, the Victorian-style facade is a unique selling point. That being said, it was built in the 1980s, so you don’t get a lot of the maintenance drawbacks of a property of that era,” David says.

The five-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom property features beautiful cornice work throughout the home, 450m of river frontage, exceptional views of the Yass Valley and a north/east aspect.

While there are nods to the past in the house – including a fireplace, parquetry flooring and clawfoot bath tub – there’s also the modern comfort of reverse cycle air-conditioning.

David says the land surrounding the home is just as stunning as the house itself.

“There are some shallow rock pools where you can see lots of fish - which is sure to make for some great adventures with the kids or lazy meanders," he says.

The home offers sweeping views of the rolling green hills and leafy trees from the verandah, which wraps around two sides of the house, and the outdoor entertaining space.

David says the property suits those wanting plenty of space for a family to spread out or to entertain friends.

Two garden sheds, lawn space, paddocks and a double garage with internal access to the house will provide the new owners with all the room they could ask for.

David says those wanting to work from home or a in search of a quieter lifestyle should put 428 Yass River Road on the must-see list.

“There’s an excellent study with a view out the window; you’ve got a powder room attached to the study, as well," he says.

“It promises a wonderful family lifestyle with a highly sought-after address.”

This one-of-a-kind property combines space with elegance and luxury but doesn’t sacrifice on location, with both Yass and Canberra a short drive away.

Number 428 Yass River Road will be auctioned at 11am on Sunday 26 March 2023.
