4 Santa Gertrudis Pl

**OPEN FOR INSPECTION ON SATURDAYS AND BY APPOINTMENT DURING THE WEEK** Set against the rolling backdrop of the Yass Valley and positioned in the peaceful countryside of Murrumbateman, this thoughtfully designed lifestyle property offers a wonderful opportunity to embrace sustainable living without sacrificing modern comfort or city convenience. Just 25 minutes from Canberra, this is a home where energy efficiency, self-sufficiency, and connection to the land come together to create something truly special. Established on an easy care 2.15 acres of fertile land, the property has been carefully developed to support an organic and productive lifestyle. Extensive gardens, a greenhouse, enclosed vegetable garden, and over 35 fruit trees allow you to grow your own food year-round, while a dedicated chicken yard provides the opportunity for fresh eggs and true paddock-to-plate living. This is a place where sustainability isn't just a feature - it's a way of life. Energy independence is a key strength of the home, with a 7.2kW solar system, battery storage, and Reposit Power control system working together to reduce reliance on the grid and manage energy efficiently. Water security is equally impressive, with approximately 120,000 litres of rainwater storage, additional non-potable water supply, and an enviro-cycle wastewater system designed to minimise environmental impact and support responsible land ownership. This high-quality, architecturally designed residence blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings, offering a thoughtful balance of comfort, functionality, and connection to the landscape. At the heart of the home is a spacious gourmet kitchen complete with a walk-in pantry, ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. The accommodation comprises four generously sized bedrooms, all with built-in robes, while the master suite enjoys a peaceful outlook across the property and features a walk-in robe and private ensuite. Bamboo flooring, high ceilings, and expansive windows enhance the sense of space and frame the stunning rural views, allowing natural light to fill the interiors. Multiple living areas provide flexibility for families of all sizes, creating spaces to relax, entertain, or retreat as needed. A slow-combustion wood stove adds warmth and character, while efficient climate control systems ensure year-round comfort with a minimal environmental footprint. Outdoors, the expansive alfresco area and wide verandah invite you to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of country life - whether it's morning coffee overlooking the valley, tending to the garden, or watching the seasons change. Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains exceptionally convenient. Murrumbateman's village, wineries, and local amenities are just minutes away, with Canberra's CBD within easy reach - offering the perfect balance between rural freedom and urban accessibility. For those seeking a more sustainable, intentional way of living - where you can grow your own food, reduce your footprint, and reconnect with nature - this exceptional property delivers a lifestyle opportunity. A home that supports not just how you live, but how you want to live. Whats on Offer........
