Terra Vitae means COUNTRY LIFE in Latin and this very well sums up this outstanding and picturesque property of 16.2ha (approx 40 acres) and the surrounding rolling rural countryside.
The beautifully appointed spacious c2005 built, brick veneer split level homestead of 387m2 UMR is the product of thoughtful design and a smartly effective use of space. The focus of everything was on quality and the comfort of family and friends. From its elevated position at the back corner of the property, youll enjoy excellent vista from all windows and vantage points.
The homestead offers a total of 4-5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garage and a 11.5m solar-heated indoor swimming pool UMR. There is an abundance of living spaces for rest & relaxation, and the quality appointments and neutral toning throughout presents a warm and inviting ambience for family living and entertaining friends. Please take the 3D tour around the interior of the house via the link to get a clear understanding of the effective use of space and the build quality. Youll see that the lower level contains 3 large bedrooms all with BIR, the large beautifully appointed country-style kitchen, large family dining & TV room and a good sized laundry. You can enter the garage, rumpus room and indoor pool from the family/TV room. Then you go up just a few steps to the upper level and youll find the adult retreat off the master bedroom with its WIR and ensuite, the study/office (or 5th BR) and a theatre room with bar, which also opens out onto a balcony with views right across the relaxing landscape.
A comfortable year-round temperature is maintained with its ducted RC air-conditioning throughout the homestead as well as slow combustion heating, and its all protected with the monitored security & fire alarm system.
To compliment the excellent indoor living spaces is the large 24m x 7m covered (pergola) outdoor living/entertainment area at the rear of the homestead. It doesnt stop there; there is high quality landscaping around the homestead with low maintenance manicured yards & gardens.
Even the shed oozes space and quality with its massive 30m x 12m x 5.2m size, concrete floor, 3 phase power and its own toilet. There is enough room for a workshop, implement (boys toys) storage, as well as plenty of height for a caravan &/or boat. Its even got an adjoining concrete tennis court.
There is 240,000L (approx.) of rain water storage that supplies the full homestead needs, pool and some gardens. The beautiful dam on the gum-studded creek that flows through the property provides water for the gardens, along with a fully equipped bore thats currently designated for stock & domestic use. Other features include aerobic sewerage system & chicken house.
A local farming contractor comes in to sow and cut the main paddocks for hay under an arrangement with the current owners, and this arrangement keeps the property neat, tidy and safe for recreational use; e.g. trail bikes, trail walking, or to just sit and enjoy the solitude under one of the many large gum trees that line the creek and surround the dam.
This attractive and high-quality address is only around 10 minutes by road to the shopping, services, facilities and the river, sand & surf at historic Goolwa. Its also around a 20 minute drive to the main centres of Victor Harbor and Strathalbyn, and around 60 minutes to the Adelaide CBD.
Theres simply nothing else left to do but for you, family and friends to relax and enjoy.
