MUST SELL – ALL OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED. Twin Gums is an absolutely fabulous rural lifestyle property that is beautifully set up to provide a secluded and relaxing modern environment for your family and your visiting friends. This truly unique property is situated in between Strathalbyn and historic Goolwa on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula, around an hour south of Adelaide. Its simply a beautiful rural retreat thats only around 10 minutes from some of the most picturesque river and coastline views in the region, and for those in the equine community its worth noting there is plenty on in the area and that Goolwa Beach is a favored destination for exercising horses.
The family residence consisting of 4 bedroom, 2 bathrooms and undercover parking for up to 8 cars is well positioned within a gum studded native bush land setting in the corner of the 32.42ha. (approx. 80 acres) allotment, and it enjoys pleasant expansive views across the property and out to the majestic Currency Creek and the associated waterways beyond.
The fully insulated log walled residence is beautifully laid out and it oozes quality throughout with its facilities, decor and appointments, presenting a warm and friendly lifestyle ambiance.
The master bedroom has BIR and a large modern ensuite and bedrooms 2 & 3 have BIR. The kitchen/dine is beautifully appointed with Caesarstone bench tops, a handy island bench and a dishwasher. The good sized formal dining room off the kitchen could also be used as a study, office, etc.
A comfortable year-round temperature is maintained throughout the residence with its ducted RC air-conditioner, a slow combustion heater and some ceiling fans. There is also a ducted vacuum in the residence, and you will value the abundance of storage space that is available throughout.
There is plenty of space to relax and/or entertain family and friends with its three large living areas; the large front verandah BBQ area complete with a full outdoor kitchen that is connected to water and power, the spacious family lounge/TV room with its beautiful high cathedral ceiling, and the substantial indoor entertainment room complete with the solar heated in-ground salt water pool, spa and small gym area. This magnificent room also has entry from the large multi-car garage. The 5m x 5m pergola area off the rear of the residence has relaxing views over the native gardens that also include some fruit trees.
Whilst it is connected to mains power the property is largely self-sufficient with its quality 7kW (approx) solar power system and approx. 270,000L of rainwater storage.
The generally flat slightly sloping property consists of 9 neatly fenced paddocks that are well proportioned in size, providing scope for any animal grazing and/or hay/cropping undertakings. The soil type and average annual rainfall of around 450mm is adequate for good pasture productivity and/or hay crop yields, along with good feed quality. There are water troughs in several of those paddocks that are plumbed to the extensive rainwater storage reserves, along with some animal shelters. (The owner prefers to look over and enjoy the picturesque paddocks and to not have anything to do with managing it all. To this end he has arrangements with several locals with the expertise to look after the land and fencing; one who grazes their animals and the other who sows and manages a hay crop on the larger paddocks.)
The other significant improvements on the property provide scope for a multitude of uses and pursuits;
- Shed complex with 3 stables, area for large tack room and small shearing facility
- Large shed complex complete with some living quarters.
- Large shed ideally suited to a workshop/storage
- Hay shed, positioned near the centre of the paddocks
- Two glasshouses, currently used to propagate plants
While the property is quiet and secluded it is still only around a 10 minute drive to the shopping, services, school, river and beach in Goolwa, and the main town centres of Strathalbyn and Victor Harbor are both within (approx.) a comfortable 25 minute drive. The Adelaide CBD is only around 60 minutes away by car via the South Eastern Freeway.
