Murrambateman is also on the up which is near to Yass but only 30 minutes North of the centre of Canberra. If you are into wine it is also in the middle of all the vineyards in the Canberra region. We know a couple who have just built there and most plots are 10 acres !. One thing about most of these places, you will have to like the rural lifestyle including the wildlife .
Jerrabomberra is pretty much a suburb - and under the flight path to boot. And it is in NSW so zoned for Queanbeyan schools. Rural living is quite popular - if you have a look on allhomes.com.au & allclassifieds.com.au you will see what is available in the rural areas. None of them meet the OP's requirements though, they are small settlements like Murrumbateman and Gunning or lots of hobby farm type arrangements like Wombeyan and Michelago. Only rural villages within the ACT are Hall - it is quite nice and Tharwa - if you dont mind taking the long route to anywhere.
