Excuse me while I indulge in more drooling over these beautiful houses in Orange. I have the impression life in these streets hasn’t changed all that much in the last thirty years – and don’t they just look exactly how you imagine Australia would look?
Anyway, if you’re interested in what your money would buy out here in Central New South Wales (4 hours by car, 1 hour flight from Sydney, flights daily), I’ve been doing my homework with the estate agents. We’ve worked out we could buy a nice family house here and a flat in Sydney, which we could rent out to tourists as well as using as a weekend home when we fancied being in the city. Not that we’re going to do that; it’s just interesting to look at what you could do. All of these properties are detached…..
A church to renovate into a home – £24,000 (yes you read that right)
A five bedroom house on half an acre in the countryside – £108,000
Either 73 acres of land with a lake or an 1887 three-bedroom post office – £126,000
A modern four bedroom house like the ones on Neighbours - £153,000
Either a 4 bedroom house on 3.5 acres (with a chook shed) or a 1920’s café and shop with three bedroom house on a half acre block (both in the countryside) - £170,000
A modern four-bedroom home constructed of reclaimed brick, with 5.8 acres, two paddocks, stables and a chook pen - £254,000
A four-bedroom house on 50 acres with a dam and five paddocks - £264,000
A four-bedroom homestead with 20 million gallon lake, double garage, ancient snow gums, paddocks, shearing shed and spring water supply - £326,000
A four-bedroom house on 125 acres, six paddocks, various dams, mountain views and 25 Angus cows - £512,000
