Jason Malseed is pleased to present 8 Carrison Road, Suttontown-an outstanding lifestyle property showcasing the perfect blend of family comfort, self-sufficiency, and rural charm. This one-owner, custom-built home is set in a peaceful, sought-after location just minutes from Mount Gambier and within walking distance of the highly regarded Suttontown Primary School. Enjoy picturesque views of the iconic Centenary Tower, adding a unique and scenic touch to this already exceptional residence.
Set on a sprawling allotment, this two-storey brick and limestone home, built in 1991, offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and functionality. Surrounded by established gardens and tranquil rural views, the property has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated to accommodate both relaxed living and entertaining on a grand scale.
The home features a spacious master suite downstairs with a bay window, a newly wallpapered feature wall, large walk-in robe, and a stunning renovated ensuite with stone benchtops, brushed brass tapware, and walk-in shower. Upstairs, you'll find three generous bedrooms (2 with built in wardrobes), a second living area, a recently renovated bathroom and separate toilet, plus an attic for extra storage. The entire upstairs area is heated and cooled by a reverse cycle air conditioner.
Living areas include a formal lounge at the front with a bay window, a central family room with a "Nectre" slow combustion heater and reverse cycle air conditioner, and a dining space large enough to accommodate an 8 to 10-seater table. The stylish kitchen features a herringbone tiled splash back, a spacious step in pantry, a plumbed fridge, large detachable pull-out spray sink mixer, electric cooking, dishwasher and "Emac & Lawton" Brasserie pendant lights above the kitchen and dining areas.
Additional features on the ground floor include a home office positioned near the front entrance for client access, a renovated laundry and separate second toilet with extensive built-in storage, and a large under-stair storage area perfect for seasonal decorations.
The double garage under the main roof has internal access through the laundry, and there is an adjoining stone area ideal for parking a trailer, caravan, or additional vehicles. A large enclosed cosy outdoor entertaining room provides year-round comfort, complete with bottled gas heating, two water feature walls, a TV, ceiling fan, tiled flooring, and feature lighting – perfect for hosting family and friends.
Outdoors, the property boasts a well-established orchard with 12 fruit trees including peach, apple, apricot, cherry, plum, nectarine, orange, lemon, and lime, along with a passionfruit vine and productive vegetable garden. The backyard also features a barked area with a playground and swings salvaged from the historic Mount Gambier Drive-In Theatre, and a trampoline zone ideal for children.
The front and side gardens are beautifully landscaped, featuring over 30 roses, hundreds of bulbs, perennials, and a variety of trees that provide privacy and reduce noise. These areas are serviced by a fully automated watering system. A stone U-shaped driveway surrounds a centrepiece fountain, with two mop tops perfectly framing the impressive front entrance.
For those with animals or a passion for rural living, the property includes two paddocks – one with a large fire pit and arching evergreen alder trees on drippers – as well as a three-bay shed complete with gated hay and animal area, a hack room or multiuse storage space, and a woodshed. An additional shed provides secure parking for two cars, a workshop area, and three-phase power.
Water is abundant with two large rainwater tanks holding approximately 41,000 litres, servicing the house, while a bore near the woodshed irrigates the gardens and serves as a backup water source when needed.
Four children were raised in this home, enjoying a wholesome and active lifestyle with horses, buggies, and motorbikes. Whether you're a growing family, hobby farmer, equine enthusiast, or retirees looking for a spacious home with the convenience of living entirely on the ground floor while offering privacy for guests upstairs, this rare offering is the complete package.
