Here's your ultimate holiday escape! The quintessential beach house, located in an elevated position with simply glorious ocean and island views. The vista takes in The Bluff at Encounter Bay, Wright and Granite Islands, Seal Rock, Victor Harbor Township to Port Elliot, going all the way around to Hindmarsh Island and beyond!

The house is positioned to the back of the 724m2 (approx) low maintenance allotment to enhance the view. Built Circa 1973 the four bedroom beach house has an open plan kitchen/living/meals area, which opens out onto the magnificent front balcony/deck - a great place for entertaining , or just relaxing with your favourite book, a coffee or glass of wine! Facing to the East, the sunrises will be truly memorable and in the evening those beautiful pink and purple hues which you get in Encounter Bay at sunset will take your breath away!

The building is double brick with cement sheet weatherboard frontage and is steel framed, built on poles with a large open space underneath, providing lots of storage options. The main bathroom is upstairs as is the laundry, while the second bathroom and a workshop are found downstairs. The downstairs bathroom is the perfect place to wash off the sand when returning from the beach, or a day's fishing! The Encounter Bay boat ramp is only a few minutes' drive away.

Apart from the magnificent view, the location is also the winner here! A short walk will take you to the Yilki General Store - great for morning coffee and the paper, the Beach House Caf and Eat at Whalers restaurant, found at The Bluff adjacent the boat ramp. Fabulous walks and bike rides take you along the beach on Franklin Parade and for those more adventurous, you can take the Heysen Trail starting at Petrel Cove and walk along the spectacular Waitpinga cliffs heading out towards Brown's Beach, going all the way to Cape Jervis.

The home would suit relaxed lifestyle living, as well as either a permanent, or holiday rental property, given the views and location. Adding to the options should you be an investor, or someone looking to take advantage of this magnificent site, you could develop the property sometime in the future.

The perfect holiday escape - release the stress, relax and soak in the view! Potential income and development potential just add to the appeal!
