A LEAFY LIFESTYLE ON FIVE ACRES
UNLOCK THE DETAILS
Set amongst beautifully established gardens and mature trees on approximately five acres, this substantial brick home delivers the space, flexibility and peaceful surroundings that make lifestyle living so appealing. Positioned on the edge of Mount Gambier, the property feels wonderfully removed from the everyday while keeping the conveniences of town within easy reach.
From the moment you step through the front door, the home makes an impression. A striking feature brick wall and beautiful cedar-panelled ceiling introduce a warm, character-filled interior, while two generous living areas positioned on either side of the entry immediately highlight the scale and versatility of the floorplan.
Commonly known as the piano room, the first living area is a fabulous space for an office, entertaining or simply retreating at the end of the day. Double glass doors allow the room to be closed for privacy, while a near-new slow combustion wood heater creates warmth and atmosphere through the cooler months. A built-in bar completes the space, making it equally suited to relaxed evenings at home or entertaining family and friends.
The second living zone is equally impressive in size. Its generous L-shaped design creates the main lounge area, with another slow combustion wood heater complemented by a split-system air conditioner for year-round comfort. With two substantial living spaces, there is room for the entire family to spread out without losing the sense of connection that makes a home feel welcoming.
A small glassed hallway leads from the main living zone to one of the home's most valuable features — a cleverly converted self-contained granny-flat positioned beneath the main roof. Generous enough to provide both bedroom and living areas, it includes built-in cupboards, its own ensuite and a compact kitchenette all with instantaneous gas hot water. This flexible addition provides an excellent option for an elderly parent, independent teenager, extended family or guests, offering separation and privacy while remaining connected to the main home.
At the heart of the floorplan, the spacious kitchen embraces a classic country feel and is designed for everyday practicality. A wall oven, convection cooktop and dishwasher are accompanied by a walk-in pantry, while a small breakfast bar overlooks the dedicated dining area. There is an inviting homeliness to this space — the kind of kitchen where weekend breakfasts linger and the smell of freshly baked bread feels perfectly at home.
Sliding doors extend the dining area outdoors, creating an easy connection between inside and out and making entertaining wonderfully uncomplicated.
A passageway leads to the home's bedroom wing, where three further large bedrooms are positioned alongside the renovated main bathroom. The main bedroom is particularly generous, complete with a large walk-in robe and spacious ensuite, while bedrooms two and three each feature built-in robes. The renovated family bathroom incorporates a separate bath, shower, toilet and vanity, while the larger-than-average laundry provides excellent storage and is complemented by an additional separate toilet and basin.
The sense of scale continues outdoors. An undercover entertaining area extends from the rear of the home before flowing to an open patio complete with a built-in pizza oven and established succulent garden. It is easy to see why this has been a much-loved gathering place over the years — a setting made for long lunches, homemade pizzas, celebrations and relaxed evenings beneath the open sky.
