A complete package offering both lifestyle and income options, Duck Duck Goose is an elegant, Earth friendly, designer residence that is a standout within the region. Built in 2011 this remarkable home has had no expense spared to ensure the design and construction features of their property maximize the power of the Sun. Beautifully warm in winter and cool in summer as a result of the North- South orientation, the home incorporates double glazed windows and utilizes both passive and active solar elements (5.14Kw, 21 panel solar system). Extensive insulation to ceilings, external walls and acoustic batting to internal walls, allows for the quiet enjoyment of the uninterrupted 360 degrees views. Ongoing running expenses are minimal with a self-sufficient lifestyle design in mind.
Featuring substantial open plan living areas, quartz flooring throughout, lofted ceilings and a spectacular kitchen with massive walk in pantry, this 4 bedroom 2 bathroom home lacks for nothing. All fixtures and fittings are of high end quality and durability ensuring that the new home owner need only move straight in, all the work is done. Any climate control requirements are satisfied by the combustion heater, wall mounted panel heaters and zoned and ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning throughout the home. 2 separate and under main roof pergola areas offer various entertainment options and maximize the views all the way to Wellington and throughout the Murray Mallee.
Licensed and operating as a residence incorporating a B&B, the versatility of the floor plan provides the potential to maintain the income stream or just enjoy the benefits of a large family home on well-maintained acreage, divided into 7 paddocks, all with excellent fencing. Currently running sheep and alpacas, the property could easily be converted to cater to horse enthusiasts or any other activity requiring space. The 12m x 7.5m workshop complete with slab and power is within an easy stroll to the main home and will satisfy all storage requirements and several greenhouse igloos will be the focus of any keen horticulturist. The garden beds surrounding the home all are maintained with an irrigation dripper system and provide an attractive entry to the property and lovely border surrounding the home before venturing deeper onto the block. The whole property is serviced by a 190,000L rainwater storage system.
Secluded in location and yet central to the rural hub of Strathalbyn and Heart of the Hills Mt Barker, this property is convenient in any direction. A peaceful retreat for both resident and visitor, this offering is unique and will provide opportunities whichever way it is utilised.
