"Paringa" is a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed 56-acre property offering 450 metres of pristine Sherlock Creek frontage and a superb blend of lifestyle, comfort and rural capability. The solid steel-frame, brick-veneer home, has been extensively updated and features three oversized bedrooms. Inside, the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces enjoy vaulted ceilings and a warm country feel, complemented by new induction appliances, wood heating, ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout. Fresh paint, new flooring, carpet, blinds and roof ensure the home feels modern, fresh and move-in ready. The home is connected to mains power, supported by an 11kW solar array and a 19.2kWh battery system, providing outstanding energy efficiency and reliability. Starlink internet provides fast, reliable connectivity and VOIP calling, while the recently activated Optus tower delivers strong mobile coverage. The home flows onto timber decks from the living areas and bedrooms, capturing peaceful rural views. Water security is excellent, with a 100,000-litre concrete tank, an electric pump, and the ability to draw from the creek when needed. A seepage sewer system is in place, and the landscaped gardens feature a mix of native and deciduous trees, lawns, rock features and an apple orchard. The fully fenced raised-bed vegetable garden, complete with nursery and propagation bench, provides outstanding potential for homegrown produce.
The shedding is exceptional. A three-bay machinery shed on slab with power and water sits beside a secure garage that includes a workshop and a studio or office space. A fully fenced children's play area with a substantial treehouse adds charm, while a second powered shed incorporates a chook pen, feed room, fenced dog run and stable. Down by the creek, a dedicated pump shed houses an electric pump, pressure tank and flow switch for easy water access.
The farm itself is extremely well set up. Re-fenced in 2019 and in excellent condition, the property includes three main grazing paddocks, a river paddock, house paddock and yards paddock, all of which feed into a purpose-designed six-way gate system for effortless stock movement. There are seven troughs servicing all paddocks and yards, plus quality steel cattle yards with race and crush on a concrete base. The property includes a dam, a NSW Water bore licence approval, and two driveway access points from Jerangle Road. Pasture improvements have been carried out consistently, including oats in 2018 and 2020, Italian rye in 2022, and a perennial mix of Phalaris, Fescue, Cocksfoot and Clovers sown in 2025, which should remain ungrazed until winter 2027. Weed management has been thorough and consistent, with no current SMRC Weeds Notice issued.
Positioned at approximately 830 metres elevation, the property enjoys light snowfalls each winter and a peaceful, scenic environment. Commuting is easy, with Queanbeyan, Cooma, Bungendore, Braidwood and the Canberra region all within an hour. Between 2018 and 2025 the property operated as a successful Miniature Galloway cattle stud and is ideally set up for hobby farmers wanting to continue livestock breeding. Included with the sale is "Ricochet," a five-year-old registered Miniature Galloway bull, along with two free-range Guinea Fowl.
The Sherlock Creek is perennial and supports Rainbow and Brown Trout, regularly restocked upstream, with platypus often seen in the deeper pools. The property also attracts deer and native wildlife and includes a purpose-built shooting bench capable of sighting rifles out to 500 yards. The local community is friendly and supportive, with the Anembo RFS shed just minutes away.
