Rare opportunity: Secure your piece of picturesque Sutton

A tree change is the ultimate dream for many – open green spaces, perhaps the chance for a hobby farm, and plenty of room for the kids to run and play.

Now imagine having the best of both worlds, with rural tranquillity just 20 minutes from the heart of Canberra. 

At the 1853 Sutton estate, the dream has become decidedly more tangible following the latest release to market of 19 generously sized sites – of more than 5000 square metres each – surrounded by expansive farmland. Prices start from $950,000.

Located on Majura Lane, the new estate is only a short distance from the centre of Sutton’s charming township and is already generating a huge level of interest from those seeking a prestigious rural lifestyle.

It’s a location that agent Ryan Broadhurst of Belle Property Queanbeyan says is hard to beat.

“Sutton is fast becoming a popular and affluent location,” he says. “People are eager to take advantage of the beautiful environment and connectivity to central Canberra.

“The amenities in the village include a pharmacy, post office, playground and tennis courts, and, of course, the Little Sutton Bakehouse. There are early discussions about a supermarket coming to town as well.”

Sutton is a village deeply rooted in enduring community values and traditions. A morning coffee before a local sporting match has become a beloved weekend ritual, while gatherings at the community hall and regular twilight picnics help to foster a close-knit atmosphere.

Broadhurst says many buyers are families with young children who are drawn by the nearby early learning centre and primary school, just a few hundred metres away.

“1853 Sutton feels like its own little enclave, away from the hustle and bustle, but still with great accessibility to schools, shops, and major highways,” he says.

“There is close access to all the wineries, cellar doors and boutique restaurants out this way as well.” 

The large land parcels lend themselves to buyers interested in having space for bigger rural-style homes, workshops, stables or even secondary dwellings (subject to council approval).

The typography is mostly flat, while a select few plots on the estate’s west side offer an elevated outlook with views across the valley below.

The front of each lot will include natural timber post-and-rail fencing and an electric gate with direct street access. 

Broadhurst says another perk is there is no community title involved.

“These are all freehold, so there aren’t stringent guidelines for building on the land,” he says.

“They are blank canvases. You can start from scratch and set them up exactly how you want without restrictions to retain existing trees.”

Titles are expected to be ready by mid-2026. Convenience is assured with town water, underground power and NBN connectivity available to all blocks. 

“Buyers can lock in their build price [now] and get started sooner,” he says. “It’s perfect for more financially prepared upgraders.”

The available sites are open for inspection each weekend or by private appointment.
