Up for grabs is a once in a life time opportunity to own a piece of Australian history. I am selling a
flat block of land (3000 sq2) in Tuross part of ‘The Snowies’ 30 minute drive from historical Cooma,
the area is ideal for camping and fishing, with an abundance of atlantic salmon, and brook, brown
and rainbow trout in the region’s lakes and rivers. Cast your line at the scenic Lake
Eucumbene near Cooma, try your hand at fly fishing on the Tumut River, or see what’s biting at Lake
Jindabyne. There's also the Thredbo River to explore, which runs from Thredbo to Lake Jindabyne.
On the surrounding forests, you will find an abundance of flora and fauna including snowgrass, snow
daisies, corroboree frogs, echidnas, wallabies, wombats, the elusive mountain pygmy possum and
spotted-tail quoll.
If you feel like adventure then you can drive to the Snowy Mountains, take the Kosciuszko Alpine
Way for spectacular scenic mountain views between Jindabyne and Khancoban. Equally scenic, the
unhurried Snowy Valleys Way passes through the historic towns
of Gundagai, Tumutand Tumbarumba.
The area is characterised by rolling plains and rugged mountain ranges. It includes the three major
towns of Bombala, Cooma and Jindabyne and a number of smaller towns and villages. The region
includes numerous state and National Parks, including the Deua, Kosciuszko, South East and
Wadbilliga National Parks and numerous nature reserves, state forests and heritage conservation
areas. Vast areas of the region are occupied by agricultural land, with a predominant focus on sheep
and cattle farming.
There are restrictions on what you can build on the block, the Snowy-Monaro council will only allow
you to build a 50 sq2 shed on the site. You can make it look as good as a hotel on the inside as long
as it looks like a rural shed on the outside. Electricity is available but water is not. There is a river
down the rural road (no flooding zone) and there is also a water fall 20 minutes from the property.
