Bushland property in Gundaroo comes with hefty eco credentials
Surrounded by bushland, the riverside village of Gundaroo encapsulates the history of a bygone era. Originally settled in the 1820s, its colonial past is reflected through the scattering of heritage-listed properties throughout the quaint village.
However, less than a 30-minute drive from Canberra’s north, the lifestyle opportunities it provides will bring you right back into the present.
Anyone who considers themselves a bit of a foodie will feel at home here. In the centre of the village, there are options such as Cork Street Gallery Cafe, Gundaroo Inn or the award-winning restaurant, Grazing – found within the restored Royal Hotel, originally built in 1865.
Gundaroo and its neighbouring towns also offer plenty of wine-tasting opportunities, from cellar doors to food and wine festivals. Your closest neighbour may even be a winemaker. The Winery capitals of Murrumbateman and Yass are just a 25 and 40-minute drive away, respectively.
But it doesn’t stop there. With its large veggie garden, this week’s feature property – listed by Marya Stylli of MasterSell – is a fine example of the fresh, organic produce home owners in the area grow on their farm-sized properties across the district.
Whether opting for an established holding, a plot of 2000 square metres or 80 hectares, Gundaroo can easily offer its residents a modern country lifestyle that also feels like stepping back in time.
Feature Property
A pleasant drive through bushland bordering Gundaroo Creek will take you to this stunningly presented and utterly unique property at 350 Beralston Road, Gundaroo.
The home’s straw-bale build means it’s perfectly insulated year-round. Add to that double-glazed windows and a combustion heater; it allows its owners to save a fortune on heating and cooling costs.
About 225,000 litres of water can be held within three different water tanks, and another spacious shed with solar panels only further adds to its sustainability credentials.
The home sits on about 81 hectares of land and includes a new garage, a veggie garden, and a hen house.
A dam within the grounds supplies water to the garden bolstered by a supply of pumped bore water.
The size of the property means there is also capacity for subdivision. And that’s just the outside!
As you enter the charming three-bedroom home, polished concrete floors, off-white walls and cedar doors and windows make the most of the bright natural light that streams in through its north-facing front.
Open-planned living areas with high cathedral ceilings, 360-degree views of the surrounding environment and masterfully maintained gardens continue the joy that comes from rural living.
The ground floor contains two bedrooms with wardrobes included, as well as a spacious gourmet kitchen and recently renovated, fully-tiled bathroom.
The top level’s main bedroom is an oasis, with beautiful diamond-shaped windows and views of the serene bushland in one direction and the picturesque dam in the other.
