Rural property - make the right decision
A hobby farm (small acreage) can be an appealing prospect if you are looking for a lifestyle change. If you are considering this type of property, an LJ Hooker agent can offer all the assistance you need.
There are many advantages to owning an acreage - your place in the country can offer you additional privacy, incredible peace and quiet and increased space for gardens, animals and pets. And when considering a hobby farm the land size is usually 2.5 to 4 hectares (5 to ten acres) and include a house or just the land.
And with some state governments offering incentives for people relocating to rural areas - including a recent $7,000 grant announced for NSW residents who move from a metropolitan to a regional location - a number of people are considering a change.
But there are also several unique considerations that must be factored in to this type of property purchase, which is why it is so important to seek advice from a knowledgeable, trustworthy source.
Rural property - choosing an acreage
When it comes to choosing rural property for sale, you will need to consider a number of important factors before you make your purchase.
Regional living poses a unique combination of challenges and opportunities and you will need to ensure you have the knowledge you need to make the right property choice to suit your lifestyle.
For example, you'll want to consider access to transportation links - including how children will travel to and from school - as well as the various costs associated with rural living, such as property tax, water supply and ongoing maintenance.
Your LJ Hooker rural agent can assist you as you assess your own needs and can help match you to a property that best suits your individual requirements.
Whether you are looking for an acreage with an existing home or you are planning to build your own property on the site, we can provide you with the support you need to make an informed purchase.
