The home has a contemporary feel throughout with impressive and modern inclusions in the kitchen and all the bedrooms.

Living in Queanbeyan is very much like country living with city benefits. With the ongoing development of Queanbeyan CBD and with the Canberra Centre only 20 minutes away, this property has everything at its fingertips.

Gundaroo

View property

A country homestead of warmth and grandeur awaits when you roll into the tree-lined driveway of 1487 Murrumbateman Road, Gundaroo.

Pulling in from the hilltops, you’ll spy the immensely beautiful surrounding countryside. But it’s not until you walk through the front door that these epic views across the Yass Valley hit you like the literal breath of fresh air they are.

It’s easy to get lost right here in this moment, emptying your mind of thought and simply taking it all in. This is what it means to be truly present. This is living.

The remainder of the house is just as inviting. A slow-combustion wood-burning fireplace keeps the living room warm.

An adorable but enormous country-style kitchen services the additional four bedrooms, family room and play area.

In summer, the majority of your time will be spent in the backyard – on the verandah enjoying a homemade pizza from the outdoor pizza oven, dipping in and out of the pool or relaxing in the sauna.

The entire property is almost 42 hectares in total, made up of five paddocks and two dams, as well as a large shed and stable and sheep yards to service any livestock requirements.

Price guide: Circa $1.7 million

Auction: 5.30pm, May 11

Agent: Belle Property Queanbeyan, Dominic Johns 0481 211 767
