Making a tree change is a popular concept for us city dwellers, particularly with increased workplace flexibility and remote capabilities. Many are keenly trading-in the urban jungle for clean air and greener pastures, and it’s easy to see why. Having room to move, a slower pace and focusing on what’s important is the ultimate lifestyle choice.
Here’s your opportunity to pull up stumps and create a more contented lifestyle, without the discomfort of the unknown… Curate your ideal rural escape, exactly the way you want it, without compromise… and only a short drive from Canberra.
With a north-easterly aspect, 8 Malbec Drive, Murrumbateman is a 6,506m2 residential building block, part of Stage 1 of ‘The Fields’. This block is an excellent canvas; almost flat and cleared of trees, with absolutely no restrictions on the building envelope – making for a dreamy design and construction process. You’ll have the freedom to create your very own piece of paradise, limited only by your imagination.
Just like the street’s namesake, Malbec, this stunning block will ‘pair perfectly’ with a variety of styles, dreams and personal visions. If you’ve always wanted chickens, a self-sufficient, edible garden and alpacas, this is an incredible opportunity to bring your dream to life.
Whether you’re building a leafy oasis, a cosy county homestead or a resort-style retreat, you’ll have creative control from start to finish. And with your garden water supplied by the development, beautiful landscaping and luscious green lawns will easily become reality.
While Murrumbateman is famous for its amazing wineries, its local village has wonderful cafes, restaurants, and convenient health services. The fortnightly Village Market specialises in a wide range of local crafts, pottery, organic vegetables and locally made treasures. An array of bread, pastries, jams, local honey, sauces, fresh meat, and olives will certainly tickle your tastebuds and fill your pantry.
With a brand-new primary school for the kids and easy access to Canberra’s CBD, you’ll have the best of both worlds. Plus, the new Barton Highway duplication will make your already short commute, even easier.
Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to ‘escape to the country’ every day, without compromise.
