The garden – you may well ask – wow, how much did this cost, the answer – a lot, it is incredibly complete. The previous owners owned a gardening shop in Adelaide and put their passion into this home. Fully automated, and irrigated, whilst the garden is substantial, the maintenance is low. The use of evergreen non-deciduous succulents, shrubs, plants and trees was purposely incorporated into the landscaping. Stone and slate steps, raised stone garden beds, gravel paths, gazebo, and several different areas to choose from to read a book or simply escape in a different themed part of the garden. The fish pond features a waterfall, is approx. 6-foot-deep and has its own filtration system. 1.5 kw solar system. Zoned residential. The railway line is no longer used, a very private and quiet setting. Two titles and three allotments, the new custodian may consider a boundary realignment (stcc) to create a further 1.2 title utilising the side paddock. The fencing is substantial with some 3 metres high, ideal for all types of pets. The house is fenced separately to the vacant land on the title. The property backs onto a vacant paddock, and the vacant land also has no neighbours, just pleasant rural views.
Shedding – 20 x 20 carport adjoins the 40 x 30 colour bond shed with auto roller doors, cement floor and lighting. The original milking shed doubles as a guest house, and larger hobby/garden shed. The 30ft x 20ft man cave, or car shed, has double roller door, insulated walls, cement floor, plumbing and power. The bird avery is 20ft x 20ft and is 3m high, is surrounded by vacant land and lovely redgum trees, and is fully fenced. Enclosed dog kennels and yard. The chicken shed is also nicely done. There is also a shade house. Approximately half an acre to park further vehicles if required.
