Lightning Ridge NSW 2834

The 3-bedroom house also has been fully renovated over the last 5 years. Completely new kitchen and bathroom/laundry (new front loader washing machine). 2 x QS bedrooms plus a single bedroom (or bunk bed) or an office as it is set up for now.
3 new R/C air conditioners - in lounge and both QS bedrooms. Ceiling fans in single bedroom, both QS bedrooms and dining room. Again, hard floors throughout (no carpet) make for easy cleaning. House has a front entrance foyer - which could be used as an office or shop front if 3rd bedroom is needed. It has a rear entrance "mud room" and a Man Cave or work room or store room at the back of the house. Both houses have their own separate carport.
Front house has 6.5 PV solar system. AGL bills May 2021 $188.20, Feb 2021 $192.79, Nov 2020 $152.56, Aug 2020 $269.94 & May 2020 $174.81.
Each house has its own septic tank and both have just been cleaned so you are right for at least 5 years. Yard has 6 termite traps so whole property is fully protected.
The gardens have been established with a focus on edibles and RWT's hold 27,000lt. All are full. Additionally, there is a shed and a pet enclosure with secure yard - first housed a rescued roo and later 2 chooks. PLUS there is a gazebo for outdoor relaxation in the back yard. Block size is 1,037sqm.
So, if you are not a local, and are looking for a move away from city living, this may be just right for you. Lightning Ridge is a quirky little NSW outback town, famous for its beautiful Black Opal - and therapeutic mineral Bore Baths. The area feels like it is growing - things are happening here. This year the $33m Australian Opal Centre will finally start to be built. It's a tourist town from Easter to about Nov due to our wonderfully mild winters. When it gets hot in summer, the tourists don't come and things wind down but you will be comfortable in your new home with its efficient cooling and any guests you do have will be comfortable in the cottage.
If you have any trade or a home-based business, you will definitely be able to build a good business and lifestyle here - with the Airbnb as a second income.

NOTE 1 - From 25th July 2022, the property was made available again on Airbnb and management is by a local lady so new owners will have a ready made business for both houses - or live in one and just continue letting the other - or your choice of how you use the property.

NOTE 2 - Floor plans were done before renovations completed but photos show bath replaced with walk-in shower in Cottage and all A/C placements in both houses

Inspection will be by appointment only
