In today’s property market, there’s a growing allure to the rare “small acreage” lifestyle – and it’s not hard to see why. For downsizers ready to leave behind the upkeep of large estates, or families moving from suburban blocks craving more space, these properties provide the perfect balance.
Kate Lumby of Lumby Real Estate said “There is not a week that goes by that I hear, ‘I just want an acre.’ Rare to find but highly sort after, nestled among expansive acreage estates, small acreage holdings provide the same sense of privacy, green outlooks and prestige without the burden of maintaining vast grounds. Enjoying borrowed views of rolling paddocks and leafy tree lines with manageable gardens and lawn. It’s rural atmosphere without rural workload.
For families, small acreage properties open up room to grow – space for kids to play, for pets to roam, and for outdoor entertaining to become part of daily life.
Downsizers, meanwhile, find comfort in knowing they can retain a sense of scale and lifestyle without sacrificing weekends of maintenance.
What makes these properties truly desirable is their scarcity. With limited supply in sought-after pockets across the Hills and surrounding districts, they offer not only a lifestyle upgrade but a solid long-term investment.
There are only under 180 properties between the size of 2000sqm to 6000sqm within the area. Dural Under 100, Middle Dural 15, Galston 50, Arcadia 15
Small acreage living is about breathing room, beauty and balance – a unique opportunity to enjoy space, community and convenience, all wrapped into one enviable lifestyle. With the Spring market showing buyers doubling in numbers, Spring is natures way of saying “It’s time to move’.
