Humbug Scrub SA 5114

LAND:
1.971ha (4.87 acres). A wonderful small acreage property with a little bit of everything to enjoy. The district of Humbug Scrub, which adjoins One Tree Hill, is popular for those wanting their escape from suburbia yet be within very easy reach of the Golden Grove precinct and Main North Road. This property has bitumen road frontage yet is located on a quiet no through road. Little can be seen from the street as the driveway rises modestly before gently descending to the homes and sheds ensuring this terrific spot is private and secluded. The almost five acres is best described in three sections, the front, rear and home surrounds. The front and rear sections are primarily natural with a scattering of eucalypts including two small specific plantations that provide firewood and a nice sized dam that not only is attractive, it is appreciated by the local kangaroos that reside peacefully in this area. A couple of sheep or a pony will ensure these sections require minimum upkeep. The home gardens are delightful with areas of green lawns, colourful flora, established shade trees including numerous birches, prunus, golden elms and ash trees. A great domestic fruit garden is well established. A natural watercourse is created by the overflowing of the dam and adds to the appeal of this delightful property.
RESIDENCE ONE:
Being the main home on the property it is the largest of the two dwellings and provides approximately 20 squares of living. The construction harmonises with the surrounds, provides split system air conditioning and provides spacious living over two levels both of which levels can be accessed externally. The lower level is one very large open living area where there is a four year old kitchen that has a country orientation yet is bright with modern appointments including central island bench with built in halogen/ceramic cook top, drop down stainless steel range hood, deep double trough, wide bench tops, plenty of cupboard space with built in pantry. The timber ceilings here along with cork tiled floor are a perfect fit. The casual meals and family living areas are all part of the lower level living which includes the second bathroom. At the top of the central staircase is the bright lounge room with its large slow combustion heater and its gorgeous raised timber ceiling. The polished timber floor here is a treat. The main bathroom has been tastefully upgraded and is located upstairs as is the second toilet. The three bedrooms all have ceiling fans while the main bedroom has a built in robe and direct access to the wrap around balcony. This balcony provides a tree-top like view over the property and verandah for the lower level living.
RESIDENCE TWO:
A rare and exciting opportunity exists by having an independent home that is ideal for an extended family. Being less than 10 years of age and built by a local, highly regarded construction company Kersbrook Constructions, this home offers modern living amenities. The country appeal is upheld by the two sets of colonial pane double doors that provide entry to the living area. The bright kitchen with gas stove is full size and forms part of the living area. Both two bedrooms are a good size with full height and width built in robes in each. The bathroom and separate toilet are also bright and this home that is flawless in condition is serviced by a split system air-conditioning system. As with the main home there are shady verandahs here. The undercover walkway with glory vine and concrete path provides easy access between the homes which has intercom facility. Beautiful gardens are looked out upon from here.
IMPROVEMENTS:
There is very good shedding on this property beginning with a 40ft x 20ft structure that has concrete floor, power, lighting and built in benches and shelves. Attached is a long high clearance carport suitable for caravan or float. A separate freestanding colourbond garage has a single roller door and measures 20ft x 14ft. A three sided carport is currently used as a boat shelter. Part of the garden is a gabled roof pergola which has paving at foot and is a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the surrounds and the birdlife. With a cubby house for the kids, there is something for everyone.
