1/188 Butts Road

Set across approximately 50 acres of undulating bushland, 188a Butts Road offers a rare chance to secure a private, freehold, rural-holding with genuine versatility, breathtaking outlooks, and exceptional long-term potential. Perfect for the establishment of a striking bush home (and build ready - with title issued, cleared building envelope and easy power access), rural haven, weekend getaway, artistic retreat or equestrian trail-paradise, this blank canvas will appeal to anyone looking to build their rural dream close to the amenity of Murrumbateman and opportunities of Canberra. Welcome home, to 188a Butts Road, Murrumbateman. Accessed directly from Butts Road, the property features new hinge lock stock fencing for the perimeter, a new secure entry gate and driveway, and an upgraded access road - providing immediate usability while preserving the natural character of the land. The block is thoughtfully balanced; areas of dense native bush offer privacy and habitat, interspersed with lighter country with areas that could be selectively cleared for grazing, trails or future improvements. Elevated high points across the land capture sweeping views over the rolling hills of Murrumbateman and the broader Yass River region. An expansive dam sits as a natural centrepiece, offering a picturesque overlook adjacent to the building site, ideal for swimming, fishing or yabbying, and supported by a large catchment (ensuring that it will hold water even in the driest seasons). With a building entitlement and generous building envelope already in place (and the ability to apply to relocate the envelope if desired), the property offers flexibility for those planning a bespoke rural residence. Opportunities exist for farm-stay or eco-tourism ventures, home-based businesses, agriculture, dual occupancy or land-banking (subject to relevant approvals). Native bush trails wind through the property, ideal for walking, horse riding or simply enjoying the quiet immersion of the landscape. Satellite NBN and Starlink is available, ensuring connectivity without compromise, while power to the adjacent homestead means minimal outlay to bring power to the building envelope. Neighbours are close enough for comfort, yet far enough away to preserve a genuine sense of solitude - a rare balance in this tightly held region and the local community is supportive, warm, and looking forward to welcoming you home. Whether you're seeking a private retreat, a future-facing investment, or a canvas for something truly special, this is a holding of substance, character and possibility.
