Cockatoo Ridge.

The current owner has kept various animals and for the horse enthusiast you can ride out from the property onto miles of quiet tree lined paths and roads.

After taking in the delightful private rural setting, well laid out garden and small orchard, come inside to a well laid out steel framed brick home surrounded by verandah’s. The spacious living areas and adjacent kitchen, which offers a new fan forced oven and induction hotplate, dishwasher and pantry all offer pleasant garden and rural outlooks from large windows.

The generous main bedroom with walk in robe and en-suite are located at one end of the home and a further 3 bedrooms all with built in robes and very spacious main bathroom at the other end. There is a sun filled TV or play room and storage is not a problem in this home, with an extra-large walk in linen press, which could also make a very impressive wine cellar.

There is ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, wood burning fire and abundant water supplied by 2 tanks of approximately 20,000 gallons each. There are 2 other water tanks on the property, as well a sparkling in-ground pool.

Many men consider their shed, their castle, and this castle will please the most demanding occupant. This modern shed has 7 high clearance bays with 3 sets of double sliding doors, so if it’s a collection of motor vehicles, a hobby that needs loads of space or an enormous teenager retreat or a combination of all three, this concreted shed will more than do the job. There is a range of other implement or hay sheds located around the property plus a purpose built large chook shed.

This home is easily accessible from the freeway and is approximately 25 minutes from the tollgate. It is just a short drive into Mount Barker where there are express buses to the city, a choice of private and public schools, supermarkets and variety shops, a large homemaker centre, hardware stores, most major banks, excellent sporting facilities and walking trails.

It is all here ready for your enjoyment. This property will pleasantly surprise you. As well as being affordably priced in the $800,000 to $850,000 price range, it has many extras and is ready for you to enjoy.
