This substantial property, set amongst established gardens, allows for a serene lifestyle. Surrounded with bird song and the sounds of the ocean the immaculate and comfortable three-bedroom home is only a short walk from stunning Adventure Bay Beach and the popular swimming spot of 'Quiet Corner'.
A gated entrance of approximately 30metres sets this property well back from the quiet, no-through road and provides complete privacy. An easy walk, just minutes away, is all the action of the Adventure Bay esplanade with local services, and breathtaking coastline. This seaside village has a wonderful caf and grocery store with the jetty and boat ramp offering great fishing and boating opportunities.
The peaceful setting of the home and garden captures the beautiful blue of the ocean from relaxing garden possies, entertaining areas and from the home's kitchen and two bedrooms!
This private paradise has the best of both worlds, a country lifestyle with bountiful garden produce and being close to the ocean for an early morning dip, with the joy of being lulled to sleep by the sounds of waves from the Bay.
