Last Listing description (March 2019)
Situated in a beautiful rural setting approximately 18 kilometres from Victor Harbor (midway between Victor Harbor & Mt Compass) combining a luxury lifestyle with 36.3ha - 89 acres of glorious Fleurieu grazing country. For those seeking the best of both worlds, the property provides the enviable tree change experience with the added benefit of being close to glorious beaches whilst being only an hour's drive from the capital city of Adelaide.
Make no mistake this is a beauty - picturesque, with large stands of native gums against a backdrop of undulating to rolling hills. Hidden away from the main road entrance, along a well maintained gravel drive, you find the homestead style residence built Circa 1995.
Approximately 4 acres of native scrub separates the home from the road adding to its privacy.
The home, which has been tastefully renovated in recent months, is disposed to the master suite at one end comprising of a beautiful large bedroom (from where you can take in the glorious views of the outdoor pool, gazebo and tree lined hills) walk through robe and ensuite bathroom.
The main living space separates the two, with a large office and open plan kitchen/living/dining room, providing the main focal point of the home, again with gorgeous rural views. An added feature of the kitchen is the large walk-in pantry, not to mention the excellent bench space and near new oven and gas cooktop.
The remaining wing of the home comprises an additional four bedrooms (all with built in robes) and another office/music room, as well as the second bathroom. The home features polished timber floors in the main living areas and passageways, with new carpet in all of the bedrooms, office and study. Custom made blinds are fitted in every room.
The outside will not disappoint, with lifestyle being very much the key! Again the setting is what really makes it - the home with beautiful return verandah has a glorious all weather paved gazebo at one end, situated beside the 12m in ground salt water swimming pool, with all modern features including robotic cleaner and automated solar heating. Should that not be enough, just wander across the lawn to the amazing timber viewing deck taking in the magnificent views of Lake Alexandrina and the ocean...seat a dozen friends for an amazing twilight dinner experience!
The property features landscaped gardens, a fully operational bore (recently serviced - depth 70m) and water treatment plant - internal water treatment is also included for drinking water. Water is supplied from a large 145,000 litre storage tank system, with additional tanks installed for water reticulation needs. Stock water comes in the form of 3 dams and the Currency Creek which flows at the lower boundary of the property - fish for trout and yabbies are in abundance!
Other improvements consist of 3 bay garage with 2 automatic roller doors, with an additional bay for workshop or storage and 3 bay hay/implement shed with earth floor. A large 6.5KW solar power system is connected to the house. Enjoy the fruit bounty from your own orchard with apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, plums, berries, cherries, figs, grapes and passion fruit.
The bird and wildlife is amazing, home to echidna and birds of every variety. The magical creek setting with natural spring providing year round running water, makes you feel like you are in the Flinders Ranges, yet here you are only minutes from the coast and so close to Adelaide. From Goolwa, Port Elliot to Victor Harbor you will find excellent schools, restaurants and shopping, with amazing beaches to swim, surf and fish.
An overseas career opportunity is the only reason this beauty is on the market and it won't last long!
