Unique Rural Property
Tired of looking at typical Canberra style houses on small featureless rural blocks? Are you searching for something different offering character and style? If so make the trip to Murrumbateman to inspect this very different rural property.
Designed by award winning architect Enrico Taglietti, who drew upon Italian free form construction and Japanese post-war architecture to create very interesting homes with soaring ceilings and multi-levels.
This is a home for people who like to be different!
Built from double brick and consisting of 2 main living areas with a central atrium, it offers three bedrooms including a very large main with ensuite. Extras include an upstairs study area and a wine cellar.
The house is essentially as built so the facilities are designed for an earlier era which includes a fuel stove in the kitchen plus slow combustion and open fireplace for heating.
The land consists of 40 level acres with 4 dams and a windmill operated bore of excellent capacity. Along with 100,000 litres of rainwater storage there is obviously no problem with water here. Approximately 5 acres of bush provides firewood for the house.
Established gardens mean privacy for the house which is set well back from the road. A large old shed with yards could be renovated for farm needs and a tractor (needing some work) and various implements are included in the sale.
Located 5 minutes from Murrumbateman and only 20 minutes from Belconnen this property is within easy commuting distance from Canberra whilst enabling the lucky owner to live in an entirely different world.
