Listing agent Graeme Boller says that “living in Cooma is great for many reasons. It’s close to Canberra, to ski fields, and just four hours from Sydney, but also it’s a very friendly community.
“Many of the Europeans working on the Snowy Hydro project in the 50s, 60s and 70s brought their families here and their kids and their families are still here, it’s a long-time multi-cultural town.”
The house on the hill faces North but also has views towards the Snowy Mountains.
