Oakbank SA 5243

A sense of spaciousness is gained as soon as you enter: to the right a large, bay-windowed formal lounge and dining area; to the left of the entrance lobby a massive master bedroom which, as well as en suite and walk in wardrobe, boasts more than enough room for a parents' snug, study or home office. The entry leads to the kitchen and informal lounge and meals area, with a layout that would suit even the largest family's daily meals and relaxation. The kitchen has ample cabinets and benches, dishwasher, pantry cupboard, double sink and 900mm electric/gas range. A skylight adds brightness to the filtered light from the outdoor patio.

Forming an almost separate wing is the suite of three family bedrooms, all with built in robes and served by a bathroom that has separate bath and shower. The laundry and linen press complete the utility areas.

The expansive courtyard that hugs the house is currently a cool, cool fernery, with two large roofed and paved patios giving ample room for all-weather outdoor entertaining. Here, the outlook is all green and blue, with an above-ground pool nicely incorporated into the view and within sight of the house for supervision of small children.

From here, the garden spills out almost endlessly across large flat lawns. A separately fenced kitchen garden with well established fruit trees and vegetable beds is a hint of how you might enjoy your own seasonal produce, not just from here but also from the citrus and stone-fruit trees that stud the back yard.

The handy or self-employed will find plenty of workshop and storage-room in the large, concrete floored shedding and lean-to spaces, which are situated comfortably away from the house.

While mains water is available at the property, the large home and extensive garden have always been amply supplied by rainwater. Tanks provide upwards of 120,000 litres of storage.

Solar power is also effectively utilised, with two solar PV systems (circa 5kw total) and solar HWS (with electric booster).

Oakbank is a well-serviced township sitting on the highly desirable Balhannah-Woodside axis, and has great access to local schools and shopping as well as the extended services offered at Mt Barker. For commuters, you can be driving through those electric gates at home in around 20mins from the Tollgate via the SE Freeway at Verdun.
