180 Candy Road

Burra NSW 2620

This timber cladded residence certainly suits the countryside here and very much the location in which it rests. Surrounded by extensive established plantings, plus multiple sheds and garages, the property has all the infrastructure your likely to need. There are places to tinker or build, ample workshop space, and places for visitors to have a sleep over after those long lazy country lunches and equally long dinner parties. Ample water and good grazing offer the option to have a small herd of sheep, maybe cattle or lamas or a flock of chickens.
Thinking of a tree change? We highly recommend a visit.
