If you are looking for that property that’s just a little different than the rest, this unique residence may just tick the boxes. The main home is built around two railway carriages creating a large central living area, multiple rooms all with their own character and uniqueness. There are large, covered veranda areas on all four sides so you can select the side that works for the season and the prevailing wind, it’s great to have the choice and plenty of room to entertain. The property itself is only around 1.5Km’s off the Kings Highway with flood free access and around 25 minutes by car to Batemans Bay and around an hour and a half to Canberra. The 16.9 Hectares (around 40 acres) is a mix of native bush and cleared land suitable for some stock. The property comes with its own resident goats perfect for keeping on top of the grass or fence of a paddock or two for your horse and a variety of established fruit trees, just stroll around and pick your produce. The real treat is the over 800m frontage to the pristine, permanent freshwater of Currowan Creek as it flows from the mountains on the way to the Clyde River. There are pools to kayak on, swim in during the summer or catch the elusive Australian Bass, you may even catch a glimpse of a platypus working the pond for its breakfast. The sound of the water running over the river boulders gives a pleasant backdrop to the private views offered from the home. The property also offers an approved shed and septic system as well as a large carport and a massive, detached shed. It’s all powered by a large stand-alone solar system with a diesel generator back up with a wetback/solar water heating system and around 130,000L of water storage and the rates are just over $1,000 per year, so if living with a low environmental footprint and not paying all your money out to the utility companies appeals, then this just might be the your perfect escape to the country!
The main residence is not Council approved but there may be an opportunity to create a farm stay or maybe do an Air BNB let on the residence, I am sure it will be a talking point. There are multiple walks to take in the area, all highlighting what nature has to offer, so if living more in sync with nature or living more sustainably appeals to you but you don’t want to be too remote, give me a call to discuss, as a Nelligen local ,I know the area well.
