If a home among the gum trees, creeks, orchards, vineyards, mountains or stretching fields is all you’ve ever wanted, take this as a sign: it’s time to submit to the quiet call of the country.
Start packing up your city digs, because we’ve rounded up 11 quaint and charming country homes for sale around Australia that are sure to pull on your heartstrings.
What should I consider before looking at rural properties for sale?
While the lure of fresh air, beautiful (and affordable!) properties, and less traffic might have you ready to sign on the dotted line, there are some key things to consider before you purchase a rural property or country home that’s currently for sale.
One thing to think about is how isolated you want to be. For some, the idea of open space as far as the eye can see is part of the charm, but with isolation comes challenges such as accessing hospitals or medical care, availability of trades and utilities and internet black spots. It’s also important to think about the impact of being physically disconnected from your community of friends or family if you are moving far away from them.
Another important thing to investigate when viewing rural properties for sale is what utilities they may or may not be connected to. City folk take for granted services such as water, power, internet, gas and quality roads, which aren’t guaranteed when purchasing a country home. Depending on the property, you may need to learn about fences, animals and equipment or machinery, as well as climate challenges such as flooding and fire, among other things.
But don’t let these things put you off making that longed-for tree change. While rural properties can come with more responsibility, the country lifestyle is hard to beat.
