Description
Yass River, Productive River Flats, Farm Forestry, Grassy Hills and a Secret Valley
Blocks like this are very hard to find, and 113 Johnson Road offers so much.
The current owners have hived off 22.83 hectares (56.39 acres) of stunning land to sell to a lucky family. Over the past 27 years there has been an enormous amount of work put into fencing smaller paddocks, protecting sensitive areas, planting forestry trees, eradicating weeds of national significance and producing cover crops for fodder.
This is an outstanding opportunity to buy a well-developed farm suitable for grazing sheep, cattle or alpacas, or establishing an orchard of fruit trees, nut trees, olives or berries, that already includes the production of hardwood native timber, planted in 2007. The property would also suit the horse enthusiast with good grazing areas and amazing riding opportunities from forest trails to open paddocks and a hidden valley to explore.
The new owners could also lock up the new forest as a carbon sink creating a permanent biodiverse environment for the many animals, birds, and reptiles that already live there. This would create a small part time workload that can be blended with full time work in Canberra, whilst becoming a carbon neutral farm.
And what a lovely place to live. You can enjoy a stress-free lifestyle with space to roam from the river to the hills through park like forests whilst listening to the abundant birdlife or heading to the river and watching the native wildlife frolic in the shadows. The Yass River is home to iconic native fish including Murray Cod and Golden Perch. The block has some wonderful picnic spots and is ideal for all campin’ and fishin’ activities. It is not often that you find a block of land that gives so much – all within 30 minutes (55 km) commute to Canberra.
A major drawcard of the property is the vista of the Yass River from the building envelope with valley farms interspersed with native forests.
