126 Woodlands Road, Wombat NSW 2587

4 beds | 20ha | 1920 weatherboard | 45ML dam | 10min to Young | auction 5 June The property’s competitive strength lies in its rare combination of a period country home with substantial water security,two dams including a 45-megalitre body suitable for recreation,on a manageable 20 hectares close to Young’s services. The 1920 weatherboard retains original character with an open fireplace in the master, while ducted evaporative cooling and a slow combustion heater make it habitable year-round. For a buyer seeking a genuine rural lifestyle within two hours of Canberra, this offers immediate livability without the infrastructure burden of raw land. The natural eucalyptus corridor and plumbed paddock troughs reduce ongoing management costs, and the separate mudroom and laundry suit families or those working the land. The main risk is the property’s age,the 1920 build may conceal maintenance in roofing, wiring, or foundations that a pre-purchase inspection should quantify. The auction format means you compete against emotional buyers; set a firm ceiling based on the $1,033,000 high-confidence estimate and walk if bidding exceeds it. The 3.08% rental yield is below market for this price point, so this is not a cashflow play. Hold as a long-term lifestyle asset or consider subdividing a portion of the 20 hectares if council zoning permits,this is the only realistic value-add lever.
