Tucked peacefully away on the outskirts of Canberra sits this unique and masterfully designed property. Everything has been considered in its design, intended to create a self-sufficient lifestyle and a haven from the stresses of modern life. While located only 25 minutes from Canberra City, the only intrusions you will experience are from the resident kookaburras, rosellas and kangaroos. The home has been perfectly sited on the 9.61 Ha (23 acre) block to blend sympathetically with the stunning rural landscape, and enjoys incredible panoramic views of the beautiful Tidbinbilla/Brindabella Ranges, guaranteed to take your breath away. The modern architecturally designed Modscape home is minimalist in appearance, but is packed full of efficiencies tailored for the Canberra climate. This quality home includes designer oak flooring, extensive double glazing, highly efficient thermal insulation, a stone fireplace and Corian benchtops. If this amazing property sounds like what you have been looking for, you can add to the list a self-contained studio, gym, amazing underground wine cellar, old shearers hut adjacent to a deep dam and extensive vegetable, fruit and herb gardens. The mixed native/exotic gardens have been meticulously designed to be low maintenance and the bore-fed irrigation can be remotely controlled. A truly unique opportunity to secure a sustainable country sanctuary only a stone's throw from the city. Features include: An established self-sufficient lifestyle including extensive vegetable gardens, herb gardens, a fruit orchard (incorporating an insulated duck coop), an insulated chicken coop, sheep handling infrastructure, a small flock of low maintenance dorper sheep and a healthy honey producing bee hive (all to remain on property if desired).
