Every now and then an opportunity passes us by and we live on to regret that we should have reversed the decision at the time.
Well an opportunity is on offer now to own and be part of a historic 1911 Bookpurnong homestead situated 10 miles north of Loxton and with the convenience of a short drive into Berri. Unsurpassed stunning views of the beautiful Murray River and the tourist attraction of Lock 4 are available 365 days of the year with a handsome stone homestead sitting proudly on its green grassed hill.
The gracious family home is far too large for its current owners of 34 enjoyable years as the younger generation has now flown from their nest into independent homes. Their aging parents now readily wait to downsize and enjoy their next abode as soon as they possibly can.
Life can be short, embrace it and enjoy it!
Four king size bedrooms, master with en-suite, another with timber mantel and fireplace and each of them have timber floorboards that have now been carpeted. Character and charm encircle each room that has thick solid walls, sash windows with vertical drapes and scalloped window furnishings. The large central dining area has Italian floor tiles with an optional second dining/ entertaining area adjacent. The formal lounge has combustion heating and in the large open hallways that introduce bedrooms, there is a floor mounted reverse cycle air-conditioner. The wide concreted verandahs that wrap the home will assist with keeping this majestic home cool and provides options for vehicle accommodation or extra entertaining. Front rooms offer sweeping river views that will be exclusive to this location and lifestyle.
The eat-in kitchen is very functional and has floor and overhead timber cupboards and floor tiles that flow through to optional independent dining zones.
A large partially lined colorbond shed will be perfect host as a games or entertaining room and has an outside loo for convenience. This is adjacent to the spring garden patch and the workshop shedding.
An underground stone cellar will be great for the seasonal preserves or home to the red wines and another stone room beside it can be used for storage.
The persona of this home is history, character and charm and the memories of yesteryear that now someone else has the opportunity to enjoy. Be the perfect Bed and Breakfast host or just create the next chapter of ownership and grab a piece of history. RememberHistory never repeats!
