Overview

Located in the picturesque Australian countryside of Clear Range, this 93.75-hectare (approximately 231 acres) property offers a rare blend of natural beauty, sustainability, and crafted living. Embracing its hilltop position, the granite-built homestead is designed with solar-passive principles to maximize natural light and energy efficiency, creating a warm and inviting environment within its 190 square meters of comfortable living space.

The home is thoughtfully arranged with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and three distinct living areas. These accommodate a variety of living styles, from lively family gatherings to tranquil relaxation by the fireplace. The residence's stone construction and timber craftsmanship not only express durability but also a sense of timeless connection to the land.

Self-sufficiency is a central theme of this property, with a standalone solar power system supported by battery storage and a substantial water infrastructure that includes approximately 120,000 litres of storage and three interconnected dams. This setup supports an independent country lifestyle while maintaining an eco-conscious footprint.

Surrounding the homestead, the gardens have been nurtured for decades, featuring a mix of native and deciduous trees, including citrus and walnut groves, orchards, and vegetable gardens. Stone terraces and vine-covered areas enhance outdoor living opportunities, inviting residents to enjoy the changing seasons amid frequently sighted local wildlife, such as birdlife and wedge-tailed eagles.

The broader property comprises a blend of native bushland and open grazing land divided into eight paddocks. Rural infrastructure includes stock water access and several sheds, notably a character-filled studio-style space converted from a former shearing shed with views towards the Tinderry mountains. Prospective buyers should note that certain conversions and shed usage are unapproved and warrant individual inquiries.

This tranquil retreat is advantageous for those seeking privacy and a connection with nature, while being part of a welcoming rural community along Smiths Road. Conveniently located within reasonable distance of Tharwa, Tuggeranong, and Canberra Airport, the property offers an opportunity to enjoy sustainable rural living without forfeiting access to nearby amenities.
