we need to do a little work around here prior placing our place on the market, but these are the areas that look attractive and in the price range

COOKAMIDGERA

MANDAGERY


so the area we are looking at are Cookamidgera, Bindogundra, Mandagery

I have no idea what I'm getting my self into here but I have this urge to live in the country over the years I have grown to hate the city despite being a city hooligan in the younger years getting into all sorts of trouble as a lad

the wife agranging a gettaway on a working farm to experence farm life for a few days this should be intresting

Jeez there has been heaps of good advise. I really don't know what your financial position is, but that type of property generally requires about 40% deposit from the Banks etc.

I'm in Orange, and that 200k type of money bought for me 8 acres with bore, 3 phase, phone, bitumin to the block, but nothing on the block. 650k will buy you a house on that type of land. I think for bigger blocks you keep heading further out of town as I'm pretty sure either Orange or Cabonne councils are restricting block sizes to about 100 acres now. Similar money buys teh 100acre blocks, but unserviced. 200K will buy something in town to live in, but thats not what you're after.

Orange has just about everything in it, and generally if its not here then it can be brought in from Sydney pretty efficiently. As you go further out and also away from that main Lithgow, Bathurst, Orange, Dubbo line things become a bit smaller and off the beaten track... this said, I'm pretty sure that Parkes is about to become a major transportation hub, so perhaps it's a gold mine waiting to be found!
