'Derringong Park'

*** EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST CLOSE: 11:10 AM, 1st, January 2012 ***

Located just 12.5km from Canberra's inner northern suburb of Dickson Derringong Park strikes the perfect balance between rural living & location!



Another great balance is the composite nature of the 50.3 acre block. The areas of excellent native bush land complement the more open grazing areas well providing seclusion, cover & stock grazing opportunities alike.



Derringong is ideal for horses & there's currently a good amount of equestrian infrastructure including stables, arena & round-yard on the block.



Deringong Cottage is a very comfortable live. Originally relocated from O'Connor it's still clad with profile timber, but essentially upgraded for a long life. The cottage had 3 bedrooms (all with robes), a fully equipped kitchen & good sized living areas.



The property was approved for sub-division into 3 blocks until September 2010 when the DA lapsed. The plan allowed for the sectioning of the northern end of the block into 2 fresh lots at 2.94ha & 2ha respectively with a fresh entry off Oldgoldmines Road. The diving boundary fence struck through the property's largest dam providing ample stock & garden water for both properties. This plan obviously protected the existing house blocks privacy.



A fresh DA would need to be lodged with the shire by a new buyer to revisit this plan.



Essentially, Derringong is a fabulous property for successful busy-lifers with a passion for semi-bush land rural living & close proximity to the office in Canberra. Alternatively, with the granting of a fresh DA the property may make an ideal sub-division opportunity for just the right person.
