    We finally got to see it with the boundaries in place and everything up to scratch today. It's so beautiful. 10 hectares in rural NSW.

    It'll be an animal sanctuary eventuallyyyy - currently going through planning/design etc before build.

    It's in Gunning. Yep - right of build for two dwellings, but no requirement to build if we want to sit on it. Can also subdivide if wanted (potential plan to subdivide a portion to pay for build but it doesn't look v straightforward). Costs to hold, other than mortgage, are: weed control (can DIY if wanted), maintenance of fences (minimal), council rates (estimated at $300 or so a quarter - not cheap) and that's pretty much it.

    We're currently considering ways to make some $$ from the land until we're 100pc ready to do a small build. (Suggestions welcome.)

    (Super cheap block as well - just couldn't say no. My parents are two blocks over on their own 10ha block, currently building. The next stage is another $30k more expensive and homes around town are comparatively expensive.)
