The grand, original homestead of Capricorn Park (one of the region's most well-known equestrian facilities) - perched high and private on a 50.2acre land holding, with stunning views over some of the most beautiful country available in the Yass Valley - is ready to become yours, for the first time in over 30 years. Welcome home, to 84 Capricorn Place a Homestead and landholding, with History and Heart - only 11 minutes from the ACT Border.
The six-bedroom, three-bathroom home, with three car oversized garage, surrounds and overlooks - from almost every room in the house - an architectural inground swimming pool, which forms the heart of the home. Sprawling across almost 800sqm of living, there are five distinct living areas, each with their own unique outlook across the estate which is Capricorn Park. Serviced by a secondary living quarter, the expansive homestead was once built to house a large family and care staff; but now would also be perfectly suited to multigenerational living.
Southerly views across the expansive Jeir Creek and a privately held and maintained 12-hole golf course make for a picturesque outlook to the rear, while northerly views across the expansive gardens of Capricorn Park make for a serene and picturesque view from the front of the homestead. An expansive house-paddock services the homestead, with established trees, lush lawns, an oversized, established orchard, eight bay stabling block with concrete floors, heated wash bay, and large enclosed holding stable.
The land itself, as it immediately adjoins the homestead, affords some of the most impressive and exclusive views, across the sprawling Capricorn Park, Brindabella Hill's Vineyard, and rolling pasture (including from the hand-built sky-viewing studio). To the rear of the property, is an expansive acreage holding that is suited to small scale agriculture, the keeping of horses, cattle, sheep and goats, or outdoor pursuits.
A testament to architecture of a by-gone era, it needs to be noted that the Country-Club, Hampton's Style homestead is comfortable and liveable, but will require modernisation to restore its grandeur. Once complete however, this home will be, without any doubt, one of the grandest, most exclusive lifestyle residences in Canberra and surrounds.
In one of the region's most exclusive locations, with a premium address and exclusive land holding in immediate proximity to the Nation's Capital, this is an opportunity that cannot be missed.
