• Handcrafted 170m2* 2-bedroom home, built 2024, with views from every room
• Building entitlement intact - the 10a DA-exempt structure does not consume it
• Large building pad already dozed and compacted by a professional earthmoving contractor
• Front and rear of the block naturally screened from one another, opening up dual occupancy potential (STCA)

THE LAND
Thirty-nine and a half hectares at the end of a no-through road, sitting high enough that nothing built or strung overhead interrupts the view. Bush and cleared country in roughly equal measure, fully fenced and ready for stock or simply left as it is. This is untamed country, not pasture that demands your weekends.
The block divides naturally. The front holds the house and the established gardens; the rear sits completely screened from it, with its own outlook and a fire pit already set up to make the most of it. It's a layout that suits a second dwelling, two generations of one family, or an eco-tourism venture in the heart of the Canberra wine region.
Much of the groundwork is done, earthworks complete and a large pad dozed and compacted, ready for plans. And critically, the building entitlement has never been used: the existing home is a 10a DA-exempt structure, so a purchaser keeps the full right to design and build wherever they choose on the block.
THE HOME
Built in 2024 and fitted out to display-home standard by its builder-owner. Recycled Thor's Hammer timber throughout, finished by hand with beeswax and orange oil, a stone feature wall, and bespoke joinery, the kind of detail that costs more in hours than in materials.
Two bedrooms, a large bathroom and laundry, gas oven and cooktop, double-glazed windows and Earthwool insulation, and a woodfire that becomes the heart of the place through winter. Double garage and workshop with loft storage above, and ceiling framing already built to code to take a future mezzanine.
Outside, expansive decking, an outdoor kitchen, and two cast-iron baths positioned for the view and the night sky.
OFF-GRID, WITHOUT COMPROMISE
The solar system here is substantially larger than the current buildings require, future-proofed with spare battery slots and sized to carry an additional structure without modification. Solar hot water, 110,000L* of rainwater storage and Starlink round it out. When the grid goes down across the district, nothing here notices, and the pumps keep running, which matters on a rural block.
LOCATION
Glengyle Road has a community worth mentioning: shed beers on a Tuesday, an equine vet on the road itself, riding country out the back, and neighbours who lend equipment without being asked. Murrumbateman and its cellar doors are twenty minutes away, Canberra around thirty-five.
The owners leave with a heavy heart. After two years of thoughtfully crafting and refining this exceptional property, a new lifestyle direction has led them to make the difficult decision to move on. This very special home is now ready for its next chapter, and for someone new to enjoy everything it has to offer.
