Come visit this oasis of nature, come for the peace and serenity this great escape offers. A short visit will thrill your senses, a longer stay will regenerate the soul.

This modest 2 bedroom architecturally designed timber frame home is nestled into the hillside, set well back from Kings Hill Road ensuring a peaceful environment to take in the sweeping panoramic rural and coastal views. Features include soaring raked timber ceilings, mezzanine bedrooms, sunroom, open plan kitchen, dining area, and lounge room. Nature lovers will feel right at home relaxing on the large all weather north facing hardwood decked verandah, complete with cafe blinds for year round enjoyment. Small private verandahs and shade houses around the home provide more private retreats, linked together by hand quarried flagstone paving and steps.

From the decking you can observe most of the 76 acres of rolling hills, with spring fed creek, 4 good dams including a large spring fed dam with permanent water, 9 paddocks, water available in all main grazing paddocks, easily capable of running 30 breeding cattle for the active retiree or hobby farmer. Several quartz laden rocky outcrops (could this be Lasseters’ reef?) add to the scenic vista, as well as the original stone ruin on the far side of the property, reputedly constructed in the 1800′s by a bullock driver. On a quiet night, you may occasionally hear the crack of the whip.

When the current owners acquired the property well over 20 years ago, they were entertained by a single pair of sulphur crested cockatoos, which now number 14 pairs. Yellow tailed black cockatoos have negotiated the rights to the airspace over the property, and have made this a well used flight path. Blue wrens, magpies, galahs, rosellas and ravens are a few of the feathered friends that call in. Overseas visitors would be absolutely delighted to see the local kangaroos, echidnas and occasional koala, and will surely gladden your heart too.

Aside from the numerous springs and dams, domestic water is assured with over 40,000 gallons (approx 180,000 litres) of rainwater stored in two concrete tanks, as well as the corrugated 2000 gallon tank by the home.

Other improvements include an open sided 10x5m shed, lockable 3×2.5m shed, chook cage ready for occupancy, numerous fruit trees, and whilst some needs repairs, a lot of the fencing in good order. The property has been run on an organic basis over the last 20 years.

The bulk of the value here is the land, during the last month the adjoining property sold for over $1.2 million. Whilst modest, the home has provided many happy years here for the current owners, and would also make a great weekender, B&B, or somewhere to live while you build your dream home with truly spectacular views.

You can be confident there is little risk of over capitalizing on a land holding of this size, with only 2km of excellent blue metal road before the sealed roads lead to historic Willunga and McLaren Vale townships just a few minutes drive away.

If this property sounds and looks like just the lifestyle you’ve been looking for, make plans to visit real soon, please don’t delay and call me later when it’s sold to ask if we have another just like it. This one is a "once in a blue moon" opportunity.
