Located just 19km from Canberra's inner northern suburb of Dickson, Lot 1 240 Shingle Hill Way, is the next exciting chapter in your life story. In addition to the panoramic views, Lot 1 provides you with enough meshed residential and rural values to jump straight into a new and rewarding productive country lifestyle. Whether it's kids, cattle, sheep, horses, or all of these, Lot 1 is the perfect property for you! Yes, as you'd expect, this is an energetic property, with a ready and waiting set of rural dynamics. Firstly, the 27.52ha/68ac bock is ideal for cross-grazing stock and is currently divided into 7 paddocks for residential and infrastructure separation, effective grazing rotation, and segregated stock management. Paddock water wise, there's 7 surface collection dams distributed over the 7 paddocks. Secondly, Lot 1 not only comes with a ready to move in 34-bedroom cottage, but there's a perfectly elevated building site where you could add a brand-new home to capture the astounding and unspoilt countryside views. The sensational site has an easy gradient approach up to its mildly contoured building top where you can place your home and sheds. The existing 145m2 cottage was significantly transformed and renovated in 2008 after its earlier start as a combined shearing shed and shearer's quarters. It's a very comfortable cottage that's seen many family fun times. Its features include great views over the property's front sections, 3 well-sized bedrooms, a study, open plan lounge/dining with its own fireplace, and a nicely upgraded kitchen with plenty of meal preparation and storage spaces. The cottage also has a large bathroom/laundry room, and there's a handy adjacent cottage block shed that provides and additional 52m2 covered BBQ alfresco for family and friends' catchups. Lastly, the property has a large 240m2 steel rural production farm shed, and a 65m2 steel storage shed that are ideally located near the property's entry gate for east access of the laneway from Shingle Hill Way. The larger farm shed is equipped with 2 larger doors for machinery/large vehicle access, plenty of open concrete base areas for hay storage and a workshop, and an operational 8m2 cool room for the meat and produce you'll harvest from the property. In the past, the farm shed was used for a myriad of tasks, including weddings and other social events. What you can use this mammoth amount of shed space is personally interpretive. Essentially Lot 1 240 Shingle Hill Way is a beautifully located and exciting way for you to jump into country living but still have an easy daily commute to your day job in Canberra. Alternatively, the property would also provide you with an ideal weekender escape from areas outside the ACT regions, with many close-by small country villages for people to explore and enjoy their atmosphere.
