Set on approximately 165* acres (66.94 ha) of rolling countryside, 'Talinga' presents a rare opportunity to secure a well-established rural holding just 10 minutes from Yass and under 45 minutes to Canberra. Offering a spacious three-bedroom brick home, excellent infrastructure, and sweeping views, this versatile property is ideally suited for both lifestyle and agricultural pursuits. The property has successfully run as a mixed farm enterprise with excellent infrastructure and water storage.
Residence
The well-maintained residence is positioned well into the property in a private and elevated position, taking full advantage of the expansive westerly views from the front verandah. Underneath the home is a double garage, providing secure parking and additional storage.
Inside, the layout is functional and family-friendly. The three bedrooms and main bathroom are thoughtfully located at one end of the home, while the kitchen and living spaces occupy the other. The central kitchen includes a butler's pantry, offering generous storage and preparation space. A fireplace keeps the living room warm and inviting, while a split system and ceiling fan are in place for the warmer months, making it a comfortable place to unwind while enjoying the peaceful surroundings year-round.
To the rear, a large east-facing sunroom adds extra living space and a perfect vantage point to overlook the property.
While mostly original in condition, the home has been exceptionally well cared for and provides a comfortable, move-in-ready option for families or those seeking a rural retreat.
Other improvements to the home and immediate surrounds include solar panels, a fernery and sheds including a woodshed and garden shed.
