Tallangatta - A once in a lifetime lifestyle opportunity

7 3 10

385 Harolds Cross Road is a lifestyle opportunity that doesn't present itself often. A private oasis with a renovated home, excellent infrastructure, an income generating second dwelling, a strong community, and all sitting a commutable distance to Canberra. It truly does offer a new lifestyle alongside a gorgeous new home.

The main home has been tastefully updated, stylish is the word. You enter through the front door and find the main living/dining area open and bright, with soaring feature ceilings and big windows over the yard. The kitchen is stunning, almost brand new, with the original oven, a nod to the history of the home. The owners have poured thought and love into this renovation, creating a beautiful modern farmhouse aesthetic while maintaining the functionality you need when you're looking after a family or hosting guests. The most beautiful touch, a 2024 Falcon oven, sitting proudly at the end of the kitchen. The large double sink, the bright windows sporting flower pots, feature splash back tiles, and the well-sized walk in pantry round out this excellent space.
As you leave the warm and bright living area, you head down the hallway towards the laundry, bedrooms and bathrooms. The laundry has external access, and for the current owners, has worked seamlessly as a mudroom. Kids, pets, and parents alike have used this entrance since its 2021 upgrade and it has helped keep the home clean and tidy. A dedicated washer and dryer space, sink, and lot's of storage were all improved upon during the reno's. Three bedrooms sit together on the left side of the hallway, all a decent size and with easy access to the main bathroom. The hallway is not normally a feature we would touch upon, but here, the space is worth taking your time in. A huge window soaks up the sun, and the second fireplace in this hall helps to keep the bedrooms nice and toasty.
At the end of the hall, the master bedroom is beautiful, with a tall feature ceiling, ensuite, and a walk in robe. The solar passive design of this brick home is obvious in winter, it brings in a lot of light. In summer, the deciduous vines and the orientation combine to keep the home cool and comfortable, exactly what we're looking for to ensure year round livability.

The main home is a space for the family, but the second dwelling is a huge bonus. For those looking to house extended family, teenagers, guests, or looking to generate immediate income from the property, this cottage will peak your interest. Completely renovated, with a fenced house yard, and currently tenanted for $500/wk, it doesn't get much better than this. A large living area, a new kitchen, renovated bathroom, and three bedrooms with big windows and peaceful open views. The internal works look good, but the less obvious features have also been taken care of, a new roof, new 10,000L water tank, downlighting, slow combustion fireplace, new floors, paint throughout and all the bits and pieces that go alongside a complete renovation. This cottage has had the hard work completed, and is ready to enjoy for years to come.

For those who are living rurally and simply looking for a change, you'll appreciate the work that the current owners have invested into the property to create a family friendly farm that is capable of running and maintaining stock. For those new to rural living, this might just be the perfect starter farm, with the hard work done and a walk-in, walk-out sale on the cards. Machinery, tools, equipment, even stock can be available if you want it. You can pack your bags, load up the kids and pets and move in with a suite of equipment ready to maintain and use this property to its fullest potential.

Since purchasing the property, the current owners have invested endless hours clearing paddocks to facilitate their Highland Cattle Stud, opening up the block and creating more useable land where they need it. At the moment, around 40% of the 224 acre (approx.) block is cleared, and the rest remains mostly natural. This has been a good balance for the current owners, but there is plenty of room for a new family to expand their operation should they wish. As it stands, there are 7 fenced paddocks, and complete boundary fencing.

On a farm like this, infrastructure is crucial. You'll be impressed to find the shedding is extensive. A new 12 x 9m shed is fitted with four 4 x 3m stables, a PA door, two roller doors, and plenty of room for feed and tack. There are two additional sheds above the house, one four bay shed that has three open parking spaces and one fully enclosed. The second is also a four bay shed, but configured with two roller doors and a PA door for access into the fully enclosed space. This shed is fully insulated, with a concrete slab, lighting, power, windows, and heating too. It has been a perfect entertainers shed for the current owners, with a gym set up on one side, and a bar on the other.
