Our 1 Acre – One Veggie Patch at a Time

Our 1 Acre Block

January 2nd, 2008 AndrewD

The block itself is in the rural NSW town of Yass – the dream itself started a long time ago but we went looking for something in this area and we found this in our price range (actually probably a thousand or two more than I wanted to spend). So we ended up purchasing the land in 2006.

The size is just over 1 acre approx 35 metres wide and over 100 metres deep with a slight slope to the south west corner.

Previously people had horses on it so they sprayed the Patersons Curse – Of course it just keeps on coming back. Here is what it looks like when we purchased it.

Yass Block of land

It is locate just behind the Yass Show Grounds (OK there is a block between) and it is close to the main town – the block is classified as rural but we are only approx 2kms from the main street.

A blank canvas if I had ever seen one. But a year later we would have our house here.
