34 Malbec Drive

Planning a new home to fit onto a big country block is a creative and exciting experience. Nothing can beat the first time you set foot on a perfect block, look around you, and picture your dreams turning into reality before your very eyes. 34 Malbec Drive being a larger Lot really delivers on the magical feelings of space, light and air which influence the style of home that you would build on it. Whilst the block's gentle contour suits any style of home, its northerly aspect makes it ideal for a solar passive design, with the living areas towards the front, and bedrooms facing the cooler east and south. Also, the 59m depth of its well-sized 2,575m2 raised building envelope allows you to build a deeper style of home with a patio running along one side to take advantage of the captivating outlook over the block towards the east and the seasonal creek that crosses one side of the property. The block's orientation is ideal and provides you with any number of home design layout choices. If you're looking for an extended family lifestyle setup, 34 Malbec's zoning allows for dual-occupancies subject to council approval. Interestingly, 34 Malbec Drive comes with a structured purchase option that can fast track your enjoyment of the property. A year ago, the current owners installed a new, customised 40' sea container that has been fitted out as a luxurious weekender, complete with its own demountable marquee/gazebo. This cleverly modified sea container, along with its lifestyle inventory are available for separate/additional purchase to the property itself. Whilst the block and container sale are not linked, this value-added opportunity would allow you to enjoy the property whilst you are building your new home. 34 Malbec Drive is located within the very recent The Fields rural recreation development where recently established properties on much smaller Lots have achieved $1.75 million in sales. Essentially, this amazing block is within sight of the world class Shaw Wines, and few minutes drive to the expanding social conveniences of Murrumbateman village. This is your chance to fully immerse yourself in a beautiful country lifestyle but only have a short 25 minute commute to the ACT.
