Believe it or not, the 2 original slab cottages that David & Agnes Rule raised their 8 children in, still stand on the property and have also been lovingly restored by the current owners. For a bit of fun, you could be enjoying your weekend family barbeques or entertaining friends within an amazing nostalgic setting. Perhaps be more imaginative in what opportunities these historic cottages being on the property could provide to you? (NOTE: Whilst the cottages are listed on the National Trust (NSW) Register and Yass Valley Council's Local Environment Plan, they are NOT listed on the NSW State Heritage Register.)

The main homestead built of hand made patterned cement bricks has traditional wide full length verandahs to the front & side and is surrounded by easy care gardens with mature trees and an all season outdoor entertaining area.
You enter the main homestead via a practical mudroom with plenty of room for those coats, hats & shoes. The home has 2.8mtr ceilings and offers 4 living areas, one being the meals area open to the kitchen, a sitting/utility room, lounge room and a generous sized north facing light & bright living/dining room. There are three bedrooms under the main roofline and a fourth in the fully self contained studio/flat adjacent to the home.

The property has 5 paddocks and 5 dams plus a reliable bore for stock and domestic use. The bore is plumbed to the house toilets, gardens and stock troughs. Many rain water tanks hold the abundant water supply. There is ample shedding including a double carport, the huge original 2 stand shearing shed, a machinery shed, a grain store shed, storage and wood shed and brick meat room now storage/garden shed.

All of this is just 5 mins(approx) drive to Hall or 30 mins(approx) to Canberra CBD. Don't miss this opportunity, so call Mark Johnstone today or come along to our next open exhibition.
