Escape from the world on your very own piece of rural paradise. This gorgeous gum-studded property offers a rare opportunity to sit on your deck and, like Clancy of the Overflow, "see the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended, And at night the wond'rous glory of the everlasting stars."
Encompassing 29.1ha (approx) of gently undulating land, there's endless potential here to make your country lifestyle dreams come true. Whether you want to build your fabulous country home-stead (STCC), eco-retreat and go off-grid, this is the spot for you.
An established site already exists, giving you a head start if you want to build. Or do what the current owners do, and use this sweet retreat as-is to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The current living quarters have been converted from a substantial shed, with decked timber floor and a range of amenities. A fixed caravan offers private bedroom and lounge space, and is includ-ed in the sale. There is a functional kitchen and bath serviced by bottled gas. Stay cosy with a charming wood burning combustion stove when the temperature drops, and on warm nights, open up the sides to let summer breezes flow through.
Sold on a walk-in-walk-out basis, you'll inherit the items currently in place. There's every-thing here you need for a back-to-the-bush retreat, or to use as a home base while you design the home of your dreams.
Zoned as Primary Industry, the property would make an ideal hobby farm. It is fenced, with a sizeable dam and a creek running through it. Substantial rainwater storage is already in place.
The secluded position is truly private from your neighbours you'll just have to share the space with the resident kangaroos! You are just a 10 minute drive to Rapid Bay and the local stores at both Second Valley and Cape Jervis. Normanville cafes, galleries and schools are just a 15 minute drive. Best of all, it's only about 75 minutes from Adelaide, making it ideal for fuss-free weekend trips!
