You walk down the street and can always talk to someone.“There are plenty of events in the area and the people are very welcoming.”If this sounds at all appealing, Ashley says to get in quick.5 Malone Street Braidwood is for sale by expressions of interest.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/5-malone-street-braidwood-nsw-2622-90730/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/write-the-next-chapter-in-the-long-history-of-this-renovated-country-cottage/724442" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

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>

It&#x27;s completely off-grid, featuring a 3.5 kW solar system with a 10 kW lithium-ion battery.The property also features a separate cabin that can serve as a work-from-home studio, a distinct living space or a space for family and friends.While sheep don&#x27;t actually come with the shearing shed-inspired property, Ashley says the next owner can easily get involved in the outdoors within the property&#x27;s three paddocks.<img alt="728-kain-cross-road-hereford-hall-nsw-2622-88886-image-0-20231022230143199772-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="477" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/728-kain-cross-road-hereford-hall-nsw-2622-888.width-800_adsh4LO.jpg" width="800">“The 41 acres is a great, manageable size,” she says.“It is very productive farming land, and there is a permanent creek that runs through the property.“The new residents can create a garden, have some farm animals and enjoy a sustainable lifestyle – the land here is perfect for that.”The property has a composting toilet, a rainwater tank to supply the house, and an attached single garage. The home brings all the creature comforts one expects from modern living, but its location brings a sense of seclusion, Ashley says.<img alt="728-kain-cross-road-hereford-hall-nsw-2622-88886-image-0-20231022230146017746-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/728-kain-cross-road-hereford-hall-nsw-2622-888.width-800_lWdmays.jpg" width="800">“You have neighbours, but they’re not right next door,” she says.“You can look out and see farmland, so it’s a nice escape from the cities.”Ashley says Hereford Hall, as well as nearby Braidwood, are both known for their sense of community.“The location itself is just magical,” she says.“Everybody’s very welcoming and everybody helps everybody.“There’s so much to do in the area. There are national parks to explore.”728 Kain Cross Road, Hereford Hall, is for sale for $970,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/728-kain-cross-road-hereford-hall-nsw-2622-88886/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/add-your-finishing-touches-to-a-unique-country-inspired-barn-home/714760" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Riotact</a>.
