A riverside holding of rare quality - where productive country meets refined rural living.
Set on approximately 50 acres of fertile, well-balanced land with sweeping frontage to the Yass River, this exceptional property blends lifestyle, history, and genuine agricultural capability. Elevated above lucerne flats and framed by rolling grazing country, the homestead captures panoramic views across the river bends and paddocks below - a front-row seat to the rhythm of rural life.
Welcome home, to 683 Yass River Road, Yass River.
The character-filled residence retains its country soul while embracing thoughtful modernisation. Original timber floors flow through light-filled interiors, anchored by an expansive, custom kitchen with quality joinery and a broad outlook across the river and flats beyond. Kitchen appliances include a Bosch electric oven, Omega gas cooktop, and Whirlpool dishwasher, combining practicality with modern convenience.
Three bedrooms are supported by an updated bathroom, along with a separate shower room and combined laundry. A formal lounge (or optional fourth bedroom if desired) and a cascading tri-level open living area provide multiple zones to gather, relax, and entertain. Comfort is assured year-round with a large slow-combustion woodfire in the main living area, a second woodfire heater in the lounge, split-system air conditioning to the main living zone, and a dedicated air-conditioning unit in the main bedroom.
Wide verandahs and a generous rear deck extend the living outdoors, perfectly positioned to watch the seasons shift across the valley.
The land itself is the hero. Around 30 acres of premium alluvial river flats - long renowned for high-yield lucerne production - offer outstanding cropping or fodder potential, while approximately 18 acres of elevated grazing country provide ideal paddocks for horses or livestock. Secure water, rich soils, and gentle contours combine to create one of the most versatile small holdings in the district.
Recent improvements have transformed the property into a highly functional equestrian and lifestyle estate. A quality stable bay connects directly to holding yards and a sheltered mare/breeding pen. A 60m x 20m sand arena with mirrors sits proudly near the homestead, complemented by a round yard with direct access from the main driveway and well-segmented paddocks featuring predominantly new fencing and hot-wire infrastructure.
The original shearing shed has been thoughtfully repurposed as a powered tack room with kitchenette and wash facilities, while additional shedding and yards support machinery, feed, and stock handling. A shipping container has been integrated for secure storage or tack use.
Adding further flexibility, a demountable dwelling provides secondary accommodation for extended family, guests, staff, or potential rental income, complete with its own split-system air conditioning.
Water security is a standout feature. A solar-powered bore supplies water to tanks throughout the property as well as the dams, supporting stock, gardens, and long-term sustainability. Gas hot water services the homestead (bottled gas), with further infrastructure already in place to support future improvements. Solar generation is installed, with output details to be confirmed.
Productive, picturesque, and steeped in regional significance, this is a property equally suited to serious rural pursuits or an idyllic riverside lifestyle. Whether your vision is equestrian excellence, fodder production, or simply life by the river, Glendoon is ready for its next custodians.
