Step back in time with this impressive Federation-style home, originally relocated from Grenfell, NSW, and enriched with numerous century-old features, lovingly sourced from various historic towns across NSW, to enhance the character and add to its captivating appeal. The original Federation house was transported in two halves and expertly positioned on piers several metres apart, purposefully extending the structure to boast 5-6 bedrooms, 2 living rooms and 3 bathrooms. The home offers a glimpse into the past while embracing modern comforts, and exudes timeless charm and elegance. The 10-foot ceilings and inclusion of genuine recycled heritage materials showcase the historical significance of the era. Along with straw bale cladding, the architectural brilliance of this family home is unique in every way.
'Dyurra' is nestled amidst the serene countryside of Bowning, just 17km from Yass and an easy commute to Canberra. Spanning 119 acres, it provides breathtaking views of the Brindabella Range, Bowning Hill, and Canberra, creating a picturesque backdrop to its historic homestead. Due to a family separation, this property must be sold, presenting a rare opportunity to purchase a lifestyle block in the Capital region and a one-of-a-kind home. Ready for your personal touch, the home awaits your creative vision to bring it to its full potential. The country-style kitchen features a modern cooktop and oven in addition to an Aga combustion stove, one of the many historic highlights of the home. Constructed with termite-proof cypress pine framing and flooring for peace of mind, and straw bale cladding to enjoy exceptional insulation, the design has been carefully considered. Large rooms are evidence of a spacious floor plan, with a third-storey attic providing a surprise element to the home, offering ample storage with standing height.
Water security is guaranteed with an extensive roof catchment capacity feeding into a 100,000-litre water tank, ensuring a reliable water supply, even in the harshest of droughts, and is complemented by a separate 5,000-litre tank planned for garden use. The property, zoned as RU1 - Primary Production, offers endless possibilities for agricultural pursuits and rural living. Graze stock of your choice or expand the historic orchard. The property is currently hosting sheep on agistment. Improvements include a large shed with an adjoining workshop, 2 other sheds, a set of sheep yards and a chook house. Countless centuries-old mature gum trees adorn the landscape, along with over 1000 native trees planted through a Landcare grant 20 years ago.
