Part of the fabric of Yass's rich pastoral history, 'Edgerton
Homestead' has seen many changes during its time nestled in the
bend of the Yass River. Originally built as a substantial stone
Georgian Farmhouse by Henry Dodds in the 1860's, it came under the
ownership of the Government in 1909 and was used as an Aboriginal
mission farm until 1919 when it was again sold. 'Edgerton' has now
been held in the one family since 1925. Now it is your turn to
weave your family's story into this iconic property.
Positioned within the coveted Canberra/Yass commuter belt
'Edgerton' is only approximately 10 minutes to Yass on fully sealed
roads and approximately 50 minutes to Canberra.
Verandahs wrap around the original sandstone building which now
contains four very substantial bedrooms, all with open fireplaces,
and retaining period features of high ceilings, deep sash windows
and timber joinery.
A light filled gallery links the original home with a later
extension. Raked ceilings in the living and dining rooms emphasise
the spaciousness provided and the open plan design incorporating
the kitchen is a sought after feature for the modern family
lifestyle. Never want for entertaining space with the vast covered
alfresco area. Timber fences surround the classic homestead gardens
graced with age old trees and cottage varieties.
With direct access to approximately 400 meters of the Yass river,
along with stock dams, water is an outstanding feature on this
property. Numerous outbuildings, including a shearing shed, provide
a tangible link to the past. Alluvial river flats rising to cleared
grazing country makes this an ideal property for those seeking a
productive small lifestyle farm.
'Edgerton Homestead' will be sold with a delayed settlement
opportunity subject to registration of the subdivision of the
larger Edgerton Property.
