Property

Nestled at the end of a long driveway, this idyllic five-acre block presents a rare opportunity to secure river views in a leafy, rural setting just 30 minutes from the centre of Canberra.<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white-queanbeyan-jerrabomberra/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra</a> Principal <a href="/agents/brad-omara/">Brad O’Mara</a> says <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/155-wickerslack-lane-googong-nsw-2620-100676/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">155 Wickerslack Lane</a> is an extraordinary opportunity that rarely comes along.<img alt="155-wickerslack-lane-googong-nsw-2620-100676-image-0-20240508043201414013-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/155-wickerslack-lane-googong-nsw-2620-100676-i.width-800.jpg" width="800">“It’s located on the Queanbeyan River, just below the Googong Dam Wall. There aren’t many chances to buy a riverfront property this close to the ACT,” he explains.“There’s space for the kids to ride a motorbike or to kick a footy in the backyard. And for the ‘green thumbs’ among us, you’ll be surrounded by a mix of deciduous, fruit and native trees.”<img alt="155-wickerslack-lane-googong-nsw-2620-100676-image-0-20240508043213466334-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/155-wickerslack-lane-googong-nsw-2620-100676-i.width-800_wtOp5yT.jpg" width="800">The massive 230 sqm six-bedroom home was originally built in the 1970s and is set over three levels.“All the bedrooms are at the front of the house, and there are two other levels with the bathrooms and the kitchen, as well as the lounge and living areas.“Each level is connected by a couple of stairs. The levels flow with the fall of the land, down to the river.”A wrap-around deck offers amazing views of the green surroundings and easy access to the outside world through sliding external doors from most rooms.“You can hear the river and the dam, so it sounds like a distant waterfall. There are also veggie patches and a number of fruit trees you can harvest from,” Brad says.<img alt="155-wickerslack-lane-googong-nsw-2620-100676-image-0-20240508043206143534-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/155-wickerslack-lane-googong-nsw-2620-100676-i.width-800_YewvsgZ.jpg" width="800">The kitchen boasts a 900 mm gas cooktop, an electric oven and a Miele dishwasher, while in the living space, a fireplace and gas-ducted heating will keep everyone warm in winter.Architecturally designed by Trevor Gibson, Victorian Ash floorboards and timber accents feature prominently throughout the home (even if you’re an avid reader, you’ll have a hard time filling the acres of built-in bookcases).“There is a real country feel to the home,” Brad says.“It is a homestead where you are surrounded by nature, but you are close to the amenities and services of Queanbeyan as well as Canberra.”<img alt="155-wickerslack-lane-googong-nsw-2620-100676-image-0-20240508043205155450-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/155-wickerslack-lane-googong-nsw-2620-100676-i.width-800_BrILmMU.jpg" width="800">The home is located in an area that was subdivided in 1963, and it offers a different lifestyle from what you’d experience in nearby Queanbeyan and even what we come to think of as Googong.“When people think Googong, they think the township – the new suburb development,” he says.“Wickerslack Lane is in a little pocket of smaller acreage blocks between Queanbeyan and Googong.“A lot of people don’t want to live in suburbia where you’re on top of each other. This is a home where there is space around you, but it’s not so huge that it’s a burden to maintain.”The house has a two-car garage, a workshop for hobbies and a rainwater tank.Water is also pumped to another tank that services the home from the Queanbeyan River.“The Queanbeyan and Googong area is a great area – everything is so close,” Brad says, noting it’s a short drive to Queanbeyan and 30 minutes to the centre of Canberra.“Living in a big city, you’re running around from one side of the city to the other. Here, everything you need is five minutes away.”155 Wickerslack Lane, Googong goes to auction Tuesday 28 May 6:00PM in the Ray White Queanbeyan Auction Rooms.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/155-wickerslack-lane-googong-nsw-2620-100676/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/stunning-rural-hideaway-with-river-views-just-30-minutes-from-canberra/769849" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

Suzi Trajkovska is one of those women who loves organising. Cupboards, home offices, pantries and closets: the messier the better. She has systems for her systems and has had an eye for creating beautiful rooms ever since she was little.Suzi works as a family daycarer from her home suburb of Googong, but recently started taking Fridays off to spend time completely making over the rooms of homes in surrounding suburbs. It all started when Suzi made over her own pantry, and a girlfriend demanded she come and do the same for hers.<img alt="pantry" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1000" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/pantry.width-800.jpg" width="800">“It was not an intentional start to a business,” Suzi laughs.“But more and more people heard about what I could do and started contacting me.”Today, her interior decorating business <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554290319869" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Edited Living Co</a> is thriving — she gets most new clients by word of mouth — and Suzi’s Fridays are booked solid doing what she loves: researching interior trends, finding furniture for clients (recycled where possible) and shopping at Kmart.Her most recent project included surprising her niece, Gabriella, with a brand new look for her home business, Beauty by Gabriella.<img alt="before beauty room" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1000" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/before_beauty_room.width-800.jpg" width="800">“Gabriella has had a pretty tough couple of years, including losing her mum,” Suzi says.“I wanted to do something really special for her.“We agreed to meet the Saturday after Anzac Day to talk about her desires for the room but I actually snuck in while she was away on the Anzac Day long weekend and did the makeover for her.”Here’s the approach Suzi took.<h3 data-block-key="489k2">Start with three words you want the space to feel.</h3><img alt="makeover prints" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1000" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/makeover_prints.width-800.jpg" width="800">“For Gabriella’s therapy room I chose modern, luxurious and relaxing. Modern is about a neutral colour palette and relaxing is about minimalism, having spots for things and reducing clutter.”<h3 data-block-key="bfee1">Invest in an excellent bed.</h3><img alt="makeover bed" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1000" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/makeover_bed.width-800.jpg" width="800">“In a home beauty business, your clients spend most of the time laying down. The most important thing you can invest in is a comfortable place for them to do this.“Spend most of your budget on this, and you can decorate around it on a budget.”<h3 data-block-key="110v0">Curtains make the room.</h3><img alt="image000001 (1)" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/image000001_1.width-800.jpg" width="746">“Window dressings can make or break a room so we stripped back Gabriella’s old curtains and put in a sheer curtain from Freedom. The room was instantly transformed.”<h3 data-block-key="etamv">Repurpose what you have.</h3><img alt="makeover details" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1000" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/makeover_details.width-800.jpg" width="800">“A lot of what you see, Gabriella already had in the room. It just needed a new set of eyes and some accessories to bring it to life.“The baskets, marble-look trays are from Kmart and the big banana leaf plant in the corner is from Spotlight. All sourced locally in Queanbeyan and on a budget.”
