Lobethal SA 5241

Land
A large parcel of land containing approximately 6400m² (1 ½ acres). Excellent location offering
privacy and tranquility on the edge of the township boundary with outstanding views over the valley of Lobethal. The land rises gradually from the front entrance to the rear of the allotment. A sweeping and rising metalled driveway runs from the entrance to the property to the house and up to the garage and sheds with a turn around towards the rear of the property. A beautiful feature of the property is the character filled, local stone retaining walls. The spacious front garden contains several mature trees, lawned areas and garden beds which feature roses and agapanthus. Another feature is the “shrine like” water feature which is adorned with ground cover, flowers and other plants. A lovely and private rear garden features a backdrop of terraced local stone retaining walls, lily pond with goldfish, stone water fountain and slate surrounds. The raised verandah/ pergola, with timber decking and colourbond pitched roof overlooking the garden offers a sense of tranquility and solitude, whilst being adjacent to the kitchen for easy indoor/ outdoor entertaining.
A timber pergola has climbing ornamental grape vines for future shade. A tree sheltered, circular brick seating area overlooks the meadow—which in spring is bursting with native flowers and flowering bulbs. The remainder of the land—approximately one third—rises to a row of mature pine trees which stand along the rear boundary and offers the best views in Lobethal! A few mature gums and a very large pine add to the appeal and beauty of the property.
