“The Homestead” - 206 Acre Rural Paradise On The Edge Of Bungendore

An extremely rare opportunity to acquire your dream rural farm of 206 fertile acres (83.53 Ha approx), conveniently located on the edge of picturesque and historic Bungendore village. The main residence is set amidst beautifully established gardens and has been handcrafted by a master builder. Full width verandas have breathtaking 360° views over Moura Creek, snow covered mountains and valley beyond.

Features high decorated ceilings with magnificent double glazed timber arched and clerestory windows which capture a sought after northerly aspect, while showcasing the panoramic views on offer.

A gourmet galley style kitchen with caesarstone benches is the focal point of the home, while extensive use of Tasmanian Oak and Jarrah creates a warm ambience which radiates throughout the open plan living areas. Designer bathrooms and ensuites, gas fireplace and an 8.7 kw solar system, along with an endless list of features outlined in the dot points below, add to the immense appeal of this unique property.

A large studio rumpus area is perfect for guests, teenagers or the extended family. A huge covered pergola and 5 star wood fired pizza oven combined with a commercial sized coolroom will allow entertaining on a grand scale. The mature olive grove established 25 years ago will ensure a lifelong supply of pizza topping.

The farm was running cattle and several horses supported by 3 dams and a bore. Substantial infrastructure includes machinery shed, workshop shed, cattle yards & state of the art chicken coop.

The very convenient location of this prime grazing or cropping land sits on the edge of Bungendore, only 15 minutes from Queanbeyan and 30 minutes from Canberra’s CBD has the added appeal of RU1 Zoning. For those looking at business opportunities or additional income, the RU1 zoning offers a myriad of business opportunities for the new owners to explore. The property has a second approved driveway, giving dual property access off the Kings Highway.

Bungendore Train Station is only 6 minutes away allowing an easy 3 ½ hour train journey to the CBD of Sydney. This provides easy access for children attending Sydney or Southern Highland schools. Canberra's Kingston Station is just a quick 40 minute commute away giving easy access to the Parliamentary Triangle.

The timeless craft radiating from this authentic “Modern Homestead” is often sought but seldom found. Inspection is highly recommended.
