Less than 10 minutes’ drive from Albury’s main street, a spectacular property is tempting out-of-town buyers with that coveted combination of rural lifestyle and city convenience.

“It’s one of the best houses in Albury,” says Jack Stean of Stean Nicholls.

The 26-hectare estate is set on the northern bank of the Murray River in East Albury, offering direct access to the river – including water licences.

The main residence is an ultra-contemporary four-bedroom home with walls of glass to showcase the stunning landscape. Meticulously updated by the current owner, a builder, it makes a dramatic first impression with a vaulted ceiling and timber panelling in the entry foyer.

Multiple living areas, recreation and al fresco spaces make this an ideal place to entertain or isolate in style – highlights not lost on the capital-city buyers who have made inquiries so far. 

There’s a home theatre with cinema drapes, a sleek in-ground pool, pool house, floodlit tennis court and gym. The kitchen is fitted with a double wall oven, built-in coffee machine and servery windows. Even the circular bathtub in the en suite has a beautiful view.

A second home, with three bedrooms, has been renovated with an open-plan kitchen, meals and living room, airconditioning, wood heater and ducted heating. Fenced paddocks and a huge shed including a hydraulic car hoist and mezzanine office are just the ticket for aspiring landed gentry.

“We’ve had a lot of local interest but also interest out of Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra,” Stean says.

“With what we’re going through, a lot of people are choosing to move to Albury because we’ve got health services and good businesses. We’ve got the same amenities as Sydney and Melbourne but it takes five minutes to get around town.”
