State heritage listed sandstone homestead (circa 1870's) situated in the Murray River National Park of Lyrup Flats. Originally part of Bookmark Station and later becoming an expansive pastoral settlement of almost 500 million acres known as "Calperum Station". Surrounded by National Park and Crown reserves, the homestead is now an exclusive private residence situated on 1.125 hectares (2.8 acres) of freehold land adjoining the Murray River.
The home has been meticulously maintained and features an impressive central hallway with fireplaces to the main bedrooms, formal lounge and dining room. The lofty ceilings, deep timber skirting, architraves and joinery are a testament to the architecture of the period; as are the original verandas on the perimeter. Century old river red gums and a myriad of mature trees shade the expansive grounds leading to a private boat deck and boat launching area at the river bank. The property also features a sparkling swimming pool with a large raised timber deck.
Situated less than 2 kilometres south of the Sturt Highway midway between Renmark and Berri on the banks of the Murray River, Calperum Homestead is best described as unique.
Offered for sale by expression of interest. Inspections can be arranged by appointment.
