Property

If you’ve been looking for a property to hibernate in and write your first novel, or paint your first exhibition series, this is the property for you.<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white-rural-canberra-yass/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White Rural Canberra | Yass</a> CEO <a href="/agents/george-southwell-2/">George Southwell</a> describes <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/10-charolais-pl-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-80708/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">10 Charolais Place, Murrumbateman</a>, as &quot;a country property you won’t have to leave&quot;.“You can be self-sufficient – you don’t have to go to the shops with a property like this,” George says.“You could really live off the land and have the space to run some stock if you wanted to, as well.”<img alt="10-charolais-pl-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-80708-image-0-20230530050142696455-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/10-charolais-pl-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-80708-i.width-800.jpg" width="800">Set on 2.4 acres at the rear of Merryville Estate, in a cul-de-sac, the home has one bedroom, one bathroom and mid-century accents throughout.“It&#x27;s a property with a very interesting design,” George says.“It’s like walking into your own English cottage but with more space than those normally have.“It’s a modern building but with historic charm.”<img alt="10-charolais-pl-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-80708-image-0-20230530050146240844-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/10-charolais-pl-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-80708-i.width-800_IeXeG4D.jpg" width="800">The country charm isn&#x27;t limited to the four walls of the home: other features on the property offer the best of country living, if that&#x27;s something you&#x27;re looking for.“The views from the upstairs windows, across the valley, are quite special,” George says.“The front of the house has a bird aviary that overlooks the top part of the garden, which is among the most stunning I’ve seen, along with an additional apiary enclosure, an established vegetable garden and solar panels.”<img alt="10-charolais-pl-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-80708-image-0-20230530050144220112-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/10-charolais-pl-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-80708-i.width-800_Xflgn6t.jpg" width="800">Whether you&#x27;re country-raised or looking for an alternative to the city, George says the area has everything you could ever need.“We’ve got so much going on in Murrumbateman. We’ve got two early childhood education centres, we’ve got multiple doctors, a dentist, a supermarket, takeaway shops and mechanics,&quot; he says.“The town has everything someone could need while being close enough to Canberra that people can easily head there.”<img alt="10-charolais-pl-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-80708-image-0-20230530050148661261-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/10-charolais-pl-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-80708-i.width-800_UCgNwv6.jpg" width="800">This is a property where the prospective owner can find a country sanctuary while still having enough room to see family and friends.“In my mind, it would be ideally suited to a young family that would come out to start their lives in Murrumbateman,&quot; George says. &quot;Alternatively, it could suit an older couple who are downsizing from a large family home in the country but don’t want to leave a rural community behind.“You can come out into town and immerse yourself among the population and get to know the people living here.“Or you can tuck yourself away and be a hermit if you want to be – we don’t judge our hermits here!”Number <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/10-charolais-pl-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-80708/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">10 Charolais Place, Murrumbateman</a>, will be auctioned at 4.30pm on Tuesday 27 June 2023.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/10-charolais-pl-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-80708/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/this-murrumbateman-property-could-be-your-cosy-cottage-in-the-country/659565" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotACT.</a>

BRB: Moving into my new tiny cabin in the woods

Nestled among picturesque gardens, this stone and timber cottage could have been lifted straight from the pages of a children’s storybook.Sitting on 100 acres at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/448-hereford-hall-road-braidwood-nsw-2622-47938/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">448 Hereford Hall Road</a> in Braidwood, the secluded home is the perfect place to begin an exciting new chapter in your life.<a href="/agents/belle-property-braidwood/">Belle Property Braidwood</a> sales agent <a href="/agents/kelly-allen-2/">Kelly Allen</a> has described the property, fronting 1.2 kilometres of the pristine Jerrabattgulla Creek, as “one in a million”.<img alt="448-Hereford-Hall-Rd-Braidwood_8.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/448-Hereford-Hall-Rd-Braidwood_8.width-800.jpg" width="800">“The cottage is gorgeous and has all the charm of yesteryear, but it’s only 24 years old,” she said.“People love that rustic, period character of the timber and stone, but they don’t want the high maintenance that comes with old cottages.“The home is pristine; there’s nothing to do.”The north-facing cottage is surrounded by gardens, while the grounds include an art studio and a private, self-contained cabin by the creek.“This is a property that has got it all going on,” Kelly said.<img alt="448-Hereford-Hall-Rd-Braidwood_7.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/448-Hereford-Hall-Rd-Braidwood_7.width-800.jpg" width="800">The gorgeous creek is spring-fed, with clear water making it ideal for swimming or trout fishing.“The creek is about five metres wide, with two deep swimming holes and a waterfall further upstream,” Kelly said.“It’s easily accessible from the house and perfect for family picnics. If you’re lucky, you might see the families of platypus frolicking in the pools.”You can hear the creek trickling over the rocks from the garden, which Kelly says is “very special and in high demand”.The main cottage features loads of big, chunky timber, natural stone and rendered stone, with the artist owner adding unique touches that give it an eclectic vibe.<img alt="448-Hereford-Hall-Rd-Braidwood_6.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/448-Hereford-Hall-Rd-Braidwood_6.width-800.jpg" width="800">With plenty of open space, the cottage has two bedrooms, two living areas and room for a third bedroom.“The house was built circa 1997 and features Iron Bark posts in the open vault style ceiling. Downstairs offers a modern galley-style kitchen with recycled spotted gum bench tops, gas cooking plus wet back oven,” Kelly said.“There is a comfortable lounge and dining room with a slow combustion fireplace opening onto the north-facing sunroom.“Upstairs boasts a generous family room which could also be converted into a third bedroom or study area.“There are two beautiful timber and stone bathrooms, plus a storeroom with a cellar.”<img alt="448-Hereford-Hall-Rd-Braidwood_5.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/448-Hereford-Hall-Rd-Braidwood_5.width-800.jpg" width="800">The current owner conducts art classes in the studio, while the secluded cabin with a kitchenette is ideally suited to guest accommodation away from the main house.“Nestled in the bush, the studio offers inspiration to any budding artist, while the cabin would work well as Airbnb accommodation,” Kelly added.The property is partially treed, with plenty of cleared space to accommodate a few horses, around 15 head of cattle or 50 sheep. You’ll also find three paddocks, while four dams plus the creek offer a permanent water supply.Kelly says the property is ideal for anyone wanting to get out of the city and enjoy the simple life yet still wants to work from home (thanks to satellite NBN).<img alt="448-Hereford-Hall-Rd-Braidwood_3.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/448-Hereford-Hall-Rd-Braidwood_3.width-800.jpg" width="800">Downsizers with a green thumb seeking peace and quiet will love the serenity, while a family could do so much while still having access to a school bus and nearby Braidwood township just 40 minutes away.The property is private, but there are other families close by and the close-knit community gets together for a barbecue once a month at the local Gundillion Hall.With a price guide of $1.2 million, the 41.38-hectare property also features a triple garage, solar power, hot water via wet back and solar, landline phone, satellite NBN, septic tank and multiple water tanks.To arrange a private inspection at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/448-hereford-hall-road-braidwood-nsw-2622-47938/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">448 Hereford Hall Road</a> in Braidwood, contact <a href="/agents/kelly-allen-2/">Kelly Allen</a>.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/write-your-own-story-in-a-fairytale-cottage-on-100-acres-near-braidwood/502316" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>*Zango is committed to continue connecting people with places safely.
