Positioned within the tightly held Jiparu Estate, 11 Rattenbury Street, Murrumbateman delivers privacy, space and a beautifully refined country lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of Canberra. Set on one of the most private blocks in the street and surrounded by established gardens, this fully renovated home has been gorgeously updated throughout, blending modern comfort with the calm and character of rural living. The result is a peaceful acreage retreat perfectly suited to families, hobby farmers or those simply seeking space, quiet and fresh air.
Inside, the home offers generous proportions with multiple large living areas, providing flexibility for entertaining, family life and quiet retreat. Freshly repainted interiors, new carpets and updated fixtures complement the thoughtful renovation, while a Fujitsu VRF commercial-grade ducted and zoned air-conditioning system installed in late 2022 ensures efficient year-round comfort.
A standout feature of the home is the exceptional amount of storage throughout, with extensive built-in cabinetry, cupboards in abundance and a walk-in linen cupboard - ensuring there is a place for everything and making day to day living both practical and organised. The home includes four bedrooms plus a dedicated study or home office, with three bathrooms, including a convenient bathroom/laundry located in the shed.
Outdoor living continues the home’s relaxed lifestyle appeal, with a covered entertaining area that can be fully enclosed with clear blinds, creating a versatile space for year round gatherings while overlooking the property’s gardens and tranquil surrounds. Extensive shedding and parking provide enormous versatility, ideal for trades, car enthusiasts, machinery storage or hobby spaces. Purpose-built fencing, paddocks and livestock facilities further enhance the property’s functionality for those wanting to embrace a true rural lifestyle.
Water security and sustainability are standout features, with a 195,000 litre main water tank that has never required water deliveries even through drought, supported by a 20,000 litre backup tank and access to communal dam water for gardens. Combined with a 10kW solar system with battery-ready inverter and solar hot water, the property has been thoughtfully configured for efficient rural living. A school bus stop conveniently located at the end of the street further enhances the property’s practicality for families.
