Overview

12 Nirta Drive, Murrumbateman, NSW, 2582

After settling into their home 10 years ago, the owners envisioned a modern property that retains the original country charm and core strengths of the residence. They embarked on a generational changeover journey, resulting in a property of uncompromised quality.

Located in a quiet leafy pocket of Murrumbateman, 12 Nirta Drive is a superbly upgraded 3-bedroom home with a dedicated work-from-home office, set amidst beautifully crafted country gardens.

The residence features extensive upgrades including a designer kitchen with streamlined soft-close cabinetry, 40mm stone waterfall benchtops, integrated under-bench wine storage racks, a hidden refrigerator nook, slimline double-glazed garden view windows, and quality electric cooker and oven. The bathrooms have been fully renovated with floor-to-ceiling tiles, and the home includes a powder room/WC and ensuite.

Additional enhancements include a 45m2 wide alfresco verandah that extends the internal living area and provides a secluded outdoor retreat surrounded by green hedges. The home also benefits from substantial double glazing and a new double garage measuring 6x7 meters with automatic door and connected power.

The gardens are a botanical sequence of themed textures and patterns, blending nouveau-monastic, English Cotswolds, and traditional lush green lawned Australian backyard styles. Winding paths meander through vibrant flower beds and orderly rows of trellised apple trees. Productive vegetable and herb gardens complement ornamental plantings of fragrant, colorful flowers.

The property sits on a mildly contoured 4.42-acre (1.789 hectares) block, divided into three paddocks including the house block, with ample space for additional paddock divisions, day yards, and stables. Mature shade trees provide ideal spots for family picnics on warm afternoons.

Under the current zoning, a second dwelling or dual occupancy is permissible (subject to council approval), and there is a second property entry gate off Nirta Drive that could serve as a separate driveway access.

Water supply is well catered for with an on-property bore plumbed to a 10,000-liter poly header tank and a shared dam that supports aquatic life. The property also features a 104,250-liter Rhino water tank with water gauge and leaf guard on all downpipes.

Additional infrastructure includes an 11x6 meter Colorbond shed, a septic tank linked to a FujiClean bio-septic wastewater treatment system, and solar power with a 5.0 kW system comprising 18 panels and a Solax inverter. Hot water is supplied by a 315-liter ground-mounted system with a 30-tube Solargain solar array and electric boost.

Climate control is provided by a reverse cycle air conditioner in the family/dining area, a slow-combustion fireplace in the lounge room, and distributed ceiling fans throughout the home.

The residence was built circa 1986 and has undergone extensive progressive upgrades, resulting in approximately 140m2 of residential living area and 45.18m2 of covered alfresco verandah, totaling about 185.18m2 (19.9 squares).

The property is ideally suited for horses, alpacas, sheep, and orchards, with fully fenced paddocks and productive gardens. It is located on a closed road, just 3 minutes from Murrumbateman village, 25 minutes from Canberra's northern areas, and 14 minutes to Yass township. Additionally, it is only 800 meters from gate access to the Murrumbateman Common, a 4.04-hectare recreation ground perfect for horse riding and other non-mechanised activities.

Local services include household and recycle waste collection, five-day letter mail delivery, NBN fibre to node availability, and school bus services to and from Canberra and Yass.

Overall, 12 Nirta Drive is a superbly accomplished family property that combines modern upgrades with timeless country charm, offering a unique lifestyle opportunity with extensive features and infrastructure already in place.
