History and modern charm seamlessly combine at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/422-majura-lane-sutton-nsw-2620-94138/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">422 Majura Lane</a> in Sutton.The main homestead was built in 1915 from Australian stone and later joined with a weatherboard house relocated from a nearby property in the 1930s.<img alt="422-majura-lane-sutton-nsw-2620-94138-image-0-20240308070148877542-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/422-majura-lane-sutton-nsw-2620-94138-image-0-.width-800.jpg" width="800">“The current owners have painstakingly restored and renovated the residence to a point where you have the best of both worlds,” says <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White Canberra</a> Licensed Sales Agent <a href="/agents/chris-dixon/">Chris Dixon</a>.“You’ve got old-world charm with all the modern conveniences.“Parts of the homestead date back to circa 1915, so it’s a really unique offering.”Between 2015 and 2017, current owners Alison and Patrick added creature comforts such as two solar systems with a 13.5 kW Tesla battery, two wood-burner heaters, reverse-cycle heating, electric underfloor heating, and heated towel rails in all three bathrooms.It also has three living areas, two master bedrooms, and two secondary bedrooms, and the ceilings, walls and underfloors have been insulated.<img alt="422-majura-lane-sutton-nsw-2620-94138-image-0-20240308070152112022-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/422-majura-lane-sutton-nsw-2620-94138-image-0-.width-800_sfPJ7om.jpg" width="800">A country kitchen boasts a Falcon oven and cooker, an integrated Liebherr fridge, two Vintec wine fridges, an island bench, and a breakfast bar made from solid reclaimed timber from Thors Hammer.Paying homage to the homestead’s period past are 11-foot ceilings, feature cornices and original pressed metal ceilings, picture rails, timber sash windows and Jarrah timber flooring.“Patrick and Alison were very careful to ensure that any changes they made were in keeping with that style,” Chris says.“Significant thought has gone into creating this beguiling property and were it not for an overseas calling, Alison and Patrick couldn’t imagine a better place to live.”<img alt="422-majura-lane-sutton-nsw-2620-94138-image-0-20240308070149586038-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/422-majura-lane-sutton-nsw-2620-94138-image-0-.width-800_PaEFCoj.jpg" width="800">Chris says the block, which comes in at just under four hectares, would suit a range of lifestyles.“At 3.69 hectares, it fits in very nicely for those that want to have a self-sufficient lifestyle but not be on such a large property that it becomes onerous to maintain,” he says.“It’s a productive block that allows you to have space for your veggie gardens, your orchards and a few cows, sheep or horses.”The home comes with a three-bay American-style barn built in 2022, a kitchen/seed store and wood store, a picturesque old granary, and stables with a tack room and chook shed.Chris says the home might also come with three existing residents who may be willing to share their home with the right new owners: three charismatic llamas!“They’re very good guard animals – alert to anything that seems out of the ordinary!”<img alt="422-majura-lane-sutton-nsw-2620-94138-image-0-20240308070159029481-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/422-majura-lane-sutton-nsw-2620-94138-image-0-.width-800_2wcCSra.jpg" width="800">The property is located on the outskirts of Sutton but not in the middle of nowhere.“The house is within walking distance of Sutton Village yet still located amongst other acreage properties on a very quiet road,” Chris says.Chris says that the home is perfect for anyone looking to transition to a life in the countryside, yet Canberra is still a short 10-minute drive away.“The location is second to none with a wonderful rural lifestyle that doesn’t compromise on your ability to get the kids into Canberra sport or school,” he says.“This property allows you to realise a slower pace of life in a location that is a quicker commute to Canberra City than some of Canberra’s outer suburbs.”422 Majura Lane, Sutton goes to auction on site on Saturday 23 March at 2pm.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/422-majura-lane-sutton-nsw-2620-94138/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/old-and-new-combine-in-a-picture-book-property-worth-telling-stories-about/750234" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

When history and modern charm seamlessly combine

While we’re pretty spoiled for space and stunning bush views in Canberra – even in the inner suburbs – there’s nothing quite like standing on the front porch of your own rural property with a hot cuppa and “just taking it all in”.Life in the beautiful towns surrounding the capital is becoming an increasingly attractive option for Canberrans according to sales agent Troy Thompson, one of the driving forces behind the brand new real estate agency LJ Hooker Country.<img alt="shutterstock_1935304469" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/shutterstock_1935304469.width-800.jpg" width="800">The agency launched this month to service the growing demand for the rural lifestyle that surrounds the capital, and unites some of the region’s most respected agents including Matthew Herbert, Troy Thompson, Kim Gilbert, Daniel Gilbert, Naish Stormon and Marcus Cataldo.“We’re excited to have purchased Gilbert Real Estate to help kick start this business – a fantastic rural real estate agency and we are ectastic to bring on Kim and Daniel Gilbert under the LJ Hooker Country banner,” Troy says.“Kim and Daniel were once owners of LJ Hooker Yass and worked at LJ Hooker Queanbeyan, so it’s a joy to welcome them back to LJ Hooker.“We love what the country has to offer and in Canberra we’re so lucky to have such beautiful communities only a short drive from the city itself.”  <img alt="shutterstock_1380786086" class="richtext-image full-width" height="299" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/shutterstock_1380786086.width-800.jpg" width="800">The LJ Hooker Country team is servicing Murrumbateman, Bungendore, Sutton, Braidwood, Royalla, Michaelgo and their surrounds. The agency has a strong focus on land marketing and specialist team for selling land and subdivisions in rural markets.Property management for country properties is also covered. Former LJ Hooker Yass property manager Lyn Fairweather – a well-known and respected property manager from Yass through to Bungendore – heads up the property management side of the business.<img alt="Sunningdale-7210450_edited" class="richtext-image full-width" height="940" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Sunningdale-7210450_edited.width-800.jpg" width="800">“We think there’s an opportunity to do country property differently,” Matthew Herbert says.“We want to bring the benefits of a large national brand, a strong LJ Hooker Canberra brand, and work with the country areas to help them tap into the benefits of our incredibly strong Canberra network.“Buyers for country property are often living in Canberra but wanting a change. “Listing with LJ Hooker Country means you have 60 of the brand’s Canberra agents helping to expose your property to local buyers.”<img alt="Sunningdale-08318" class="richtext-image full-width" height="571" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Sunningdale-08318.width-800.jpg" width="800">Kim Gilbert says being a country agent means delivering more tailored marketing and sales campaigns, and having a deep understanding of the area you’re selling – from the people to the amenity.“Country property doesn’t always get the same traffic as an inner city apartment so you have to be very tailored with your marketing to find your buyers,” she says.“It’s just good old fashioned customer service and hard work, there are no tricks.”The brand new Sunningdale Estate, in the heart of Murrumbateman, is being marketed by the LJ Hooker Country team. <a href="https://zango.com.au/developments/sunningdale-estate-murrumbateman-nsw-2582/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View block options at Sunningdale Estate.</a>

Always dreamed of owning a rural property? Say hello to the new LJ Hooker Country team

If you&#x27;re thinking about a move away from the city and into the country in 2023, these women have some sage advice about the benefits and challenges of doing so.<h2 data-block-key="fg7oo">Melanie Greenhalgh, Sutton NSW</h2><img alt="Mel Greenhalgh" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1200" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Mel_Greenhalgh.width-800.jpg" width="800">Melanie moved to Sutton in 2006 and lives with her husband, two teenagers, a dog, a cat, and loads of kangaroos, rabbits and ducks.<h3 data-block-key="bket1">Pros of living in Sutton</h3>It&#x27;s country living with all the amenity of city convenience for both kids and adults, like education, sports, hospitals, medical, shopping, cafes and entertainment. The stars are so bright and clear at night because there are no street lights - it makes you realise you&#x27;re but a tiny part of a massive universe!<h3 data-block-key="1m999">The cons</h3>Postal deliveries take longer to arrive. And friends always need a designated driver when they come for dinner and drinks.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/search/?listing_type=sale&amp;address_suburb=Sutton,%202620,%20NSW&amp;surrounding=true&amp;order_by=price&amp;property_status_groups=current,underOffer,includePrivate&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View properties for sale in and around Sutton, NSW</a><h2 data-block-key="12tl0">Lauren McGregor, Yass</h2><img alt="FamilyPhotos_Dec2021_WebRes-9754.JPG" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1199" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/FamilyPhotos_Dec2021_WebRes-9754.width-800.jpg" width="800">Lauren moved to Yass in 2015 and lives with her husband, her 20-month-old son, seven dogs and two horses. She moved to Yass because she &quot;wanted more space. After 12 months of living on 234sqm in Gungahlin, we couldn’t do it anymore.&quot;<h3 data-block-key="eg8gq">The pros of living in Yass</h3>Equal parts the space (we’re on 10 acres and it’s our peaceful piece of the world) and the community. Everyone smiles at you as you walk down the street and it’s so easy to make friends. Also - I can sunbake naked in my backyard and no-one can see me, so no tan lines!<h3 data-block-key="54jpc">The cons</h3>If you’d asked me that even 12 months ago I would have said the need for versus the lack of big amenity, but that’s changing and at a rapid pace. There are so many new businesses set to open their doors across the Yass Valley in 2023, including a new gym, Indian restaurant, Two Before 10 cafe and I am so excited about it.Honestly, I think by the end of next year, it will most definitely be possible for families to only have to travel across the border one a month (or in my case once a fortnight) to get their Westfield hit and that’s about it.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/search/?listing_type=buy&amp;address_suburb=Yass,%202582,%20NSW&amp;surrounding=true&amp;order_by=price&amp;property_status_groups=current,underOffer,includePrivate&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View properties for sale in and around Yass, NSW</a><h2 data-block-key="5ebjs">Lindsay Anderson, Tumut NSW</h2><img alt="Lindsay family" class="richtext-image full-width" height="571" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Lindsay_family.width-800.jpg" width="800">Lindsay moved to Tumut in 2020 and lives with her partner, three children and two dogs. She moved to Tumut because &quot;my partner Trent was born and bred in the Tumut region and we wanted to try small town living instead of the hustle and bustle of the capital city.&quot;<h3 data-block-key="brudn">The pros of living in Tumut</h3>So many! For me, it&#x27;s the people. The strong sense of community: they mourn together and celebrate together. Nothing is too much trouble, it&#x27;s laid back and when we arrived, everyone made us feel so welcome. Our kids have thrived and made some really good friends through school and sporting clubs.<h3 data-block-key="8cidn">The cons</h3>Not many. I don&#x27;t miss malls at all! I did, however, sit in the Khub (it&#x27;s a tiny version of Kmart) carpark when we first moved here, bawling my eyes out because they didn&#x27;t sell any decent work-worthy shoes (which I needed to start my new job the next day!)<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/search/?listing_type=buy&amp;address_region=Tumut&amp;surrounding=true&amp;order_by=price&amp;property_status_groups=current,underOffer,includePrivate&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View properties for sale in the Tumut, NSW, region</a>
