Under Contract
Cheap and Comfortable “Off-Grid” Living
The Quiet and Easy Life
Lot 57 “New Chum” Opal Fields Lightning Ridge
Priced to Sell - $80,000
I am what they call a “camp” in the “Ridge” – a large Western Land Lease (WLL) ex-mining site now zoned as residential - ideal for those wanting a relaxed and affordable lifestyle. Coming to visit Lightning Ridge many years ago my owner just fell in love with The Ridge and just couldn’t leave. Now ready to retire closer to larger health care facilities, they are packed up and ready to say goodbye to their beloved home, “The Black Opal Capital of the World”.
My owners have developed me into an amazing place, fully equipped for “off-grid” living with Solar Panels, Battery Storage, Generators and large Water Tanks. Even the NBN is available! They’ve done the hard yards to offer the buyer all the comforts of a home without power bills and high council rates. Perfect for early retirees, first home buyers, “tree-changers”, artists, fossickers and business owners.
I have 2 good-sized bedrooms, kitchen/dining/lounge, gas stove and hot water, air-conditioning and wood-fire heating, bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet, separate laundry with 2nd toilet, excellent TV reception, under-cover BBQ/cooking area, outdoor relaxing areas, large workshop, lots of storage, vegetable garden plots and wood pile. My almost 2,000 m2 block is fully fenced, child and dog safe, my carport has internal access and garden sheds.
My owners offer me for sale for a mere $85,000 which is exceptional value, but all reasonable offers may be considered. Compared to some “camps”, I have an elevated, easy-to-find location only 3 km from the CBD, not far off a main road and not far from the racecourse and golf links.
Lightning Ridge is a large town with all the modern commercial services, clubs and recreation facilities including the famous aquatic centre and Olympic diving pool. It is a mecca for tourists seeking that magical gem, exploring the underground mines or just soaking up the art, history and culture of this fascinating place.
