Seller's Description


Escape to Your Own Private Rural Paradise

Welcome to 820 Craigie Lea Road—a rare opportunity to secure a peaceful lifestyle property where privacy, self-sufficiency, and the great outdoors come together.

Hidden away from the road, with the nearest neighbour several kilometres away, this property offers the peace and tranquillity that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're looking for a permanent family home, a weekend retreat, a hunting base, or a lifestyle block, this property delivers an exceptional rural experience.

The home is warm, comfortable, and full of character, featuring two wood burners and a traditional coal range, with one wood burner connected to a wetback for efficient hot water heating. A bottled gas oven completes the practical country kitchen.

For those seeking the ultimate lifestyle, the property is perfectly suited to running sheep and cattle, while outstanding hunting and fishing opportunities are right on your doorstep through well-established local connections that can be passed on to the new owner.


The property has also operated successfully as an Airbnb, with guests consistently enjoying the peaceful setting, authentic rural experience, and surrounding natural beauty—offering potential for supplementary income if desired.

This property was always intended to be our forever home and retirement dream. However, with the arrival of a new chapter and a growing family, life has taken us closer to town, making it increasingly difficult to continue the renovations and fully enjoy everything this special property has to offer.

Now it's time for someone else to make it their own.

If you've been searching for a property where you can truly disconnect from the busy world, enjoy genuine privacy, run livestock, explore nearby hunting and fishing, or simply wake up to birdsong and open skies each day, 820 Craigie Lea Road deserves your inspection.

Lifestyle properties offering this combination of privacy, practicality, and potential are increasingly hard to find. Don't miss your chance to secure your own slice of rural paradise.
