This Mannum home and the absolutely beautiful outlook over the lagoons and the rural country side opposite provide many days of enjoyment and relaxation for the weekends, holidays or as a permanent home. There is so much bird-life and activity on the lagoon there is always something different that catches your eye, no matter where you are either inside the house or outside in the gardens. There has been a forestation of river gums and bushes growing on the land, it really is nature at work. There are black ducks, swans and pelicans on the water, the birds are nesting and the kookaburras are laughing.
This one acre property overlooks the magnificent lagoon waters and birdlife, offers the room to manoeuvre vehicles/ caravans, boats and trailers around with ease, and working in the garden with these outlooks and the rise, and character, of the river valley behind all adds to this quality of life that comes from this riverland property. With a water licence and water pumped from the lagoon, and now mains water, the gardens boast a fully reticulated watering system together with an envirocycle septic system and several rain water tanks.
With so much natural environment and views from every room the home is a pleasure to enjoy at any time. Renovated and extended to create a lovely large modern river home with new roof, full insulation and large rooms. With no neighbours in front and only to the rear side, and set back above the road, whether you are in the spa bath relaxing looking out of the window to these view, waking up every morning to these beautiful sunrises and the sounds of the morning birdlife starting their day and these lagoon water views, relaxing in the lounge, especially on a winters day with the flames of the slow combustion fire, a warm drink and a enjoyable book to read and always these character water and environmental views life is always better. Each bedroom and the kitchen and dining have a view.
Entertaining family and friends is always a pleasure, more so in summer with daylight saving, as when they come to visit we know they will always enjoy this magic location and colourful outlook we are always outside either, sitting on the end of the boardwalk/jetty enjoying never-ending water views or in the pergola area relaxing, cooking a barbecue, having drinks and the banter is always about the bird-life, water outlook and the rising river levels or who is going to take the canoes or the tinnie out.
With plenty of room three double bedrooms all capturing some of these lagoon water views, the large bathroom with a big invigorating spa bath and shower, the kitchen is modern and easy to cater to the active family and friends and the dining room has an open fireplace that also backs onto and is open to the third bedroom. Winter warmth flows from the slow combustion fire throughout the house and to the living and lounge and in summer there is a reverse cycle air conditioner and there is always a river breeze off the lagoon. The front verandah deck is always a great place to sit and relax at the end of the day with a drink and watch the birds come in to settle and roost for the night, then the nightlife of the frog, crickets pattering of the water and the harmony of the environment.
Being only 75 minutes from Adelaide you can leave work on Friday afternoon and head straight up to Mannum spend a great weekend, then relax again late Sunday afternoon when the family or friends have gone home, have a quiet Sunday night and then head back to work in Adelaide Monday morning.
Being only 2 kilometres out of the Mannum Village, as it is called, Mannum boasts great shopping, services, supermarket, cafes and hotels you lack nothing and can top up supplies and wine and dine when you please.
Local Raine and Horne Agent, Adrian Davis said, this home is truly in sync with the harmony and environment and nature is well and truly at work the rising river and water levels and the return of the water birds. Recent sales and prices achieved of similar homes with such great water, lagoon and birdlife reflect the price of this home. The property will suit a family for permanent living, retirees who want to enjoy nature at work or as a holiday home.
