Nestled in the majesty of the Australian bush we find this large architecturally designed 2 storey brick house with spectacular views from nearly every window.
Entering the property via your own private road lined with native trees and shrubs, to the left we see a huge, approx. 18m x 10m hay shed also providing storage for a float or some heavy equipment, and the old post office that was used for a shearing shed that could be restored to its former glory.
There are 3 paddocks currently being used for horses, all with troughs, 2 with shelter sheds and Bayco plastic fencing. There are large fully enclosed stables (approx. 12m x 11m) on the right with a concrete floor, three stalls, a wash bay and tack space.
There is a workshop/shed of approx. 12m x 10m with a concrete floor. Equipped with two large benches and storage racks, it provides plenty of room to store or repair equipment or house your caravan. There is a quick-fill water with an electric pump set-up for spray unit and fire protection.
Entering through the front door the home opens before you into an impressive open plan living, dining and kitchen area with Jarrah floorboards. The split-level living area provides a step-down to the dining and kitchen areas. The dining area has very practical bi-fold doors offering that quintessential indoor/outdoor living/dining experience with uninterrupted views. The modern kitchen is equipped with a 900mm wide gas cooktop, a 600mm wide 2 door electric oven, dishwasher and exhaust fan, all quality European appliances. The well planned cabinetry design includes a useful wine rack and a large walk-in pantry completes the kitchen. At the centre of this space is a wood burning combustion heater with glass doors on 2 sides so the flames can be enjoyed from either side. And speaking of wood, there is an abundance of red gum available around the property so you will have no shortage of supply.
To the left of the living area is the entrance to the Master Suite. You enter into a large office/study providing a serene atmosphere, the perfect place to be able to work from home. Then through to the large bedroom with a generous walk-in robe. The bedroom also leads through to the extremely spacious ensuite. The most unique feature of this ensuite is the glass wall in the shower, with no neighbours it's the ultimate indulgence.
On the other side of the living area, you come to the family wing, comprising two large bedrooms, a very spacious bathroom and a large laundry with plenty of bench space and cabinetry which also leads onto the wrap-around deck.
The internal staircase opposite the front door leads down to a very practical, huge rumpus entertaining room which is equipped with a sink and an adjacent powder room. This particular space has many possibilities as a fourth bedroom or media room. The bi-fold doors lead out to a large alfresco area perfect for entertaining.
The wrap-around windows on both levels provide unlimited inspiration to paint, write or just rest.
Ensuring the year round comfort in every room of this home, there is a new Daikon reverse cycle ducted air conditioner. The house is connected to mains power with approx. 5.3kw solar system and provision for a generator enabled back-up.
There is approx. 90,000 L of fresh rainwater stored over 3 tanks.
There is a double carport under the main roof. The gardens around the house are very low maintenance with extensive lawned areas leading across to the 40,000 L decked solar heated swimming pool. What a perfect way to relax and take in the views.
Wandering up the slight rise we come upon the fruit trees which are all watered via the underground sprinkler system, and then onto the chicken coop and vegetable gardens.
On the approx. 269 acres of farmable land there are 10 paddocks of various sizes throughout the property all with troughs and most of the fencing is electrified. There is a driveway which ensures ease of stock movement and the cattle yards are equipped with a crush. There is a large top dam from which water is pumped via a fire fighting pump into a 25,000 L tank. This tank supplies water to the top farm paddocks, the horse paddocks and the gardens and sheds around the home, all with excellent water pressure.
There are fenced laneways to the bottom river flats, the main creek has been fenced off to form a native bush corridor with 3 fenced culverts for easy stock movement. There is a spring dam which fills another tank via another fire fighting pump which supplies troughs via a gravity feed.
The bushland under covenant is your own private national park with over 120 species of birds (counted by an experienced ornithologist). Comprising approx. 307 acres of stunning bushland with nearly 4km's of Glenelg River frontage. There are stunning swimming holes and beautiful walks and hikes to explore and enjoy throughout this bushland.
There is a 5 camera security system covering the driveway, house and the sheds. The total serenity and privacy of this home must be seen and experienced.
Located in pristine countryside, you are only 15 mins to Casterton or 50 mins to Mount Gambier and Hamilton for all your shopping and other services. The Coonawarra wine region is just an hour away and the beautiful Grampians are just over an hour away.
