6 Bed, 3 Bath, 7 Car
For Sale by Expression of Interest – closes 4pm 28th July 2023 unless sold prior


This exceptional property is located down a quiet country road just 8 minutes from Mount Gambier.
The main residence is constructed of feature brick and shingle tiled roof. It is north-facing and features magnificent cathedral windows, high raked timber-lined ceilings with skylights specifically designed to capture the winter sun and penetrate the living areas of the home.
The clever use of natural timbers including Australian Cedar, Tasmanian Oak and Western Australian Jarrah combine to add natural warmth and texture to the windows, doors, staircase and other quality joinery throughout the home.

The master bedroom and the 3 secondary bedrooms are located at opposite sides of the home.
The air-conditioned master suite offers expansive views across the valley and features a generous walk-through robe/dressing room. The adjoining ensuite features full-height tiling and a large shower recess. The retreat-style main bathroom features a spa bath against a full-height window overlooking an attractive courtyard garden and water feature. Quality built-in robes/storage units service all bedrooms and utility areas throughout the home.

The centrally located kitchen is well featured with quality appliances and cabinetry. There’s a 900mm gas cooktop, electric wall oven, a dishwasher and a large walk-in pantry. Wide soft-closing drawers with recessed handles are not only practical but give the kitchen a timeless modern feel. A breakfast bar adjoins the informal meals area and timber bi-fold doors open out to the covered, partly enclosed and tiled alfresco dining area complete with a food preparation bench top and sink. There is no need to worry about how many guests to invite over for a barbeque as this area is large enough to cater for big numbers.

The open living plan design of the home promotes an easy communication environment for family and guests between the living areas and the mezzanine games room above.
The formal dining and sunken formal lounge are separated by a gallery with all these areas affording beautiful uninterrupted views across the lush pastures. The lounge features a fireplace and reverse cycle air conditioning for year-round comfort making this the perfect place to relax with family and friends.
Access to the mezzanine level games/activity room and balcony is via a magnificent timber spiral staircase. With a stunning Jarrah timber-lined raked ceiling and a skylight, this area easily accommodates the quality slate-top 8 ball table which will remain with the property.

Separated from the main residence is additional accommodation in the form of a self-contained two bedroom unit complete with a neat, functional kitchen and a combination bathroom & laundry.
Constructed inside the huge stone outbuilding this unit has excellent insulation qualities.
It features a generous open plan kitchen/dining/living, carpeted flooring, reverse cycle air conditioner, a slow combustion wood heater and a full width verandah at the front. This unit is close to the main entrance gates to the property so any comings and goings by its occupants will not interrupt the privacy of the main residence. This is an attractive proposition for those seeking a teenage retreat, guest quarters or an income producing short-term B&B or longer-term rental accommodation on the same title. It would also make an ideal home office/showroom facility as it has access to the adjoining workshop and ample visitor parking spaces.

Parkland-style manicured lawns, low-maintenance gardens, grand mature shade trees consisting of natural gums and exotic deciduous species share the vast garden areas with various fruit trees, a vegetable garden, a chook run and numerous shedding. The property is automatically irrigated with a sprinkler system supplied via an 8 inch bore and electric submersible pump. 3 x rainwater tanks supply water to the main residence and unit.
There is also an equipped irrigation bore and a 5.5 Megalitre water licence attached to the property.

Car and Caravan garages, a double carport and a wide turn-around area provides easy entry/exit
convenience and ample parking for vehicles and other machinery.

The 11.5m x 10.8m workshop is insulated with Sisalation and will appeal to a keen hobbyist, handyman or tradie. It features 3 phase power, concrete floor, workbenches and generous built in storage facilities. The roof height of this workshop could easily accommodate a mezzanine floor if required for additional storage. The 11.5m x 5.5m caravan garage forms part of this magnificent solid stone outbuilding and there’s a 11.5m x 6m carport which adjoins the building at the rear.

The property is divided into 3 main paddocks including two pasture paddocks with irrigated troughs. There’s a shelter belt line of mature gums at the southern end, steel cattle yards and quality fencing and gates. Entrance to the property is via double electric gates attached to a stately brick-walled entry point off a recently constructed bitumen road.

Energy costs to run this property will be kept to a minimum with a 12kw solar panel system linked to a 10kw inverter unit.
