Picture your own country estate set well back from the road, with Ryries Creek flowing along your boundary. Imagine 18 acres of complete privacy, 360-degree mountain views, and the soothing sound of running water – all just 25 minutes from Tuggeranong.
70 Speargrass Lane is the largest parcel of land still on offer in this exclusive development: 7.408 hectares (18.30 acres) with a 3,900sqm building envelope positioned for maximum privacy and tranquillity. The elevated building site sits well back from Speargrass Lane, capturing spectacular panoramic views of the Tinderry and Clear Range Mountains.
The property includes private access to Ryries Creek, which meanders gracefully along one boundary. It's a living watercourse that provides a water source, a wildlife corridor, and offers a combination of practical benefits and natural beauty that makes the property truly special.
Speargrass Lane is an exclusive six-lot subdivision of generously sized rural blocks, quietly positioned off Karinya Plains Road and surrounded by pristine open space and breathtaking mountain scenery. The quality is evident from the moment you arrive via the newly constructed entrance road. With only three lots remaining, this is your final opportunity to secure the development's largest remaining property.
Once on site, you'll feel it immediately: the profound sense of space and seclusion, the absolute peace and privacy, the spectacular mountain vistas in every direction that become part of your everyday life.
Imagine your homestead designed to capture both mountain views and glimpses of the creek below. Picture a walking track winding down through your property to your private section of Ryries Creek. Envision summer afternoons when the children explore the creek's pools and rocks, autumn mornings watching mist rise from the water, winter evenings by the fire, knowing you have 18 acres of complete sanctuary around you.
With this much land, the possibilities expand exponentially. Design a substantial family compound with multiple buildings – a main residence, guest cottage, workshop, studio – each positioned to take advantage of different aspects and views. Create expansive horse facilities with creek or bore access (to be installed by you and subject to approval) for water, establish productive orchards and gardens, run a small grazing operation, or simply maintain the land as your private sanctuary.
The building envelope's setback position means your home will feel like a true retreat, cocooned in nature yet still remarkably accessible to the city. This is the kind of privacy and space that's becoming increasingly rare within a 25-minute commute to Canberra.
Whether you're planning to build your forever home immediately or securing prime rural land for the future, there's no timeframe to build. You can plan thoughtfully, engage the right architect, and create a property that truly reflects how you want to live, not how quickly you need to build.
The block is fully fenced with power located near the building envelope. As with rural residential properties in the area, you'll arrange your own water storage and septic system, allowing you to design these essential systems to perfectly match your home's footprint and your sustainability goals. The Ryries Creek frontage provides supplementary water access for livestock.
In terms of location, Michelago offers that rare combination: genuine country living without sacrificing convenience. Your commute to the city is just 25 minutes via the Monaro Highway. Michelago Village, with its café, school, and essential services, is five minutes down the road. This is the lifestyle change that actually works with your life.
The village sits framed by towering mountain ranges on both sides, creating those sensational views and an authentic rural atmosphere and connected community you simply can't find closer to the city. Local amenities include Michelago Primary School, a public oval, the much-loved Michelago Café, bus services and a petrol station. Cooma's alpine gateway is 40 minutes south for weekend snow trips or summer highland escapes.
