9 Jiparu Drive, Murrumbateman, NSW, 2582

Located in the highly sought-after Jiparu Estate, just 20 minutes from Canberra's northern suburbs, this property offers an ideal balance between convenient commuting and a peaceful retreat for weekends with family and friends.

This unique property, known as Stonehaven, combines two homes, an indoor swimming pool, a garage/workshop shed, and a large block of land into one exceptional lifestyle opportunity.

The main homestead spans approximately 460 square meters and features 4 to 5 bedrooms. Constructed with textured stone blocks and corner quoin detailing, complemented by bull-nosed verandahs, the home embodies a classic country aesthetic that reflects the local rural character.

Inside, the home offers a spacious 64 square meter open-plan kitchen, dining, and family/lounge area. There are four generously sized bedrooms with built-in robes, including a fully segregated 30 square meter master suite with a walk-through robe and ensuite. Additionally, there is a home office or potential fifth bedroom and a 30 square meter rumpus or living room. This flexible space could serve as a parents' retreat adjoining the master bedroom, creating a combined master area of 60 square meters.

The kitchen is designed in a modern country style, featuring ample stone-topped bench space, soft-close cabinetry, and high-quality appliances, including a gas cooktop and electric oven with Caesarstone benchtops and glass splashbacks.

A fully detached 60 square meter stone block coach house studio complements the main residence. This self-contained studio includes a kitchen/meals/living area, laundry/storage room, an 18 square meter bedroom with ensuite, its own water tank, a car parking pad, and separate power metering, making it ideal for large families or as a rental income opportunity.

For aquatic fitness enthusiasts and poolside entertainment, the property includes a 16 by 6 meter Colorbond pool shed housing a 12 by 3 meter heated indoor saltwater lap pool and a traditional two-person sauna. The pool is 1.4 meters deep with easy access steps, suitable for all ages.

The property sits on a magical 3-acre block, mostly cleared except for a privacy forest along the front boundary and a notable Federation-era tree. The land is ideal for horses, sheep, alpacas, or expanding the existing orchard, which includes pear, apple, peach, plum, fig, jujube, chestnut, and apricot trees. There is also a large rear lockable paddock with a storage shed and chook pen.

Garaging includes a 60 square meter attached garage with internal access to the home, accommodating two cars, and a separate 9 by 6 meter Colorbond double garage/workshop with a concrete slab and power, suitable for two additional vehicles.

Technical specifications highlight the main residence's 230 square meters of living area, 170 square meters of verandah, and 60 square meters of attached garage, totaling approximately 460 square meters under roof. The studio offers 59 square meters of living space plus a 1 square meter arrival portico.

Main residence features include traditional homestead-style architecture with solid sandstone block cladding on a steel frame, wrap-around bull-nosed verandahs with sandstone paving, a formal entry foyer, and a segregated master suite. The home also benefits from solid satin polished timber flooring, three-phase power availability, and picturesque views over a dam and mature eucalyptus trees.

The studio is fully council approved, separately power metered, and features quality finishes, ceramic flooring, and a sealed car parking space.

The property is powered by a 5.4 kW solar system with 27 rooftop panels, supported by the grid as needed. Climate control includes reverse cycle air conditioning, evaporative cooling, and two-zoned ducted gas heating in the main residence, with reverse cycle air conditioning in the studio.

Water supply includes a 220,000-liter in-ground concrete rainwater tank for the main residence and a 5,000-liter above-ground tank for the studio.

Sewerage is managed by a shared bio-septic system.

The block is level to mildly undulating, suitable for various livestock and agricultural pursuits. The location offers convenient access to the ACT border, Canberra's northern areas, Yass town, and the village of Murrumbateman.
