Last Listing description (October 2016)
An exquisite rural lifestyle property on the Fleurieu Peninsula incorporating 1km of gum studded Finniss River frontage, Magnolia Springs is privately positioned on 30 quiet and highly productive acres suitable for sheep, cattle or horses.
Built to executive standards in 2012 the large rammed earth homestead is warm, appealing and exceptionally unique in look, feel, form and functionality. One of the most notable features of the landscape is the impressively large 1.8 megalitre poly lined lagoon accessed directly from the verandah. You could literally cast a line from the timber decking or the open plan kitchen, dining and living room. With resort style design and luxury in mind Magnolia Springs was architecturally designed to ensure premium comfort for families looking for either the very best in a weekender retreat, permanent residence or as a reward for retirees wishing to relax and enjoy the quiet years in pure bliss.
The homestead attributes are extensive and feature large double glazed panoramic aluminum framed windows, a hydronic underfloor heating system, polished concrete floors, tiles, exposed rammed earth interior throughout, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning for the main living areas and a multi head split system for the three bedrooms along with a large glass fronted combustion heater in the living room. There are three toilets, and two bathrooms and the master bedroom has beautiful views along with an ensuite, twin vanity, separate toilet, walk in robe and dressing area.
The main bathroom is light and bright and includes a stylish bath, shower and vanity. Other service areas such as the laundry and butlers pantry have been well appointed and provide ample storage. The kitchen has a wonderful energy and was designed for cooking enthusiasts with granite bench tops and soft close drawers. The kitchen space provides the full package for entertainers or those that simply enjoy immersing themselves in the cooking process. With a Smeg dishwasher, induction cooktop, under bench oven wall and unique views across the lagoon toward the gum lined banks of the River Finniss this is a vibrant and inspirational space for open plan entertaining, living, dining and cooking.
Melding organically into the natural surroundings the landscaping around the homestead has been constructed thoughtfully and deliberately. Using high grade Blackbutt around the exterior of the home and with the concrete slab supported by state of the art waffle pod, there is little if any movement ensuring the integrity of the rammed earth construction will be maintained for multiple generations. The front verandah is 86m2 and the rear verandah is 24m2 with the entire floor plan encapsulating 253m2. Overlooking the lagoon and tucked neatly into the floor plan the six person exterior spa has been inset and is located under the main roof. Accessed through the living room and bar area or via the verandah the spa shares an undercover outdoor entertainment area along with a state of the art Louvre Tech Sun Roof that can be opened or closed to suit the weather.
Rainwater across the property is abundant with a total of 75,000 gallons of storage.
Along with a 2 megalitre stock and domestic water permit to draw from the river to the lagoon, tanks on Magnolia Springs include a 45,000 gallon underground concrete tank, a 30,000 gallon galvanized iron rainwater tank, a second 30,000 gallon galvanized iron header tank for stock and domestic use and a 3,000 litre Environmental Septek sand filter system.
A water plan will be provided upon request and a handover meeting will be arranged between the vendor and the purchaser to ensure the new owner has a complete understanding of the property operations and schematics.
From stunning native flora and fauna to an orchard, flat grazing land and perfectly established infrastructure including a huge 18m x 9m Colorbond open span shed with concrete floor and three phase power, Magnolia Springs is a complete, impressive and an exceptionally appealing property.
