“Strawberry Fields” the most enchanting sandstone villa circa 1890′s. A much loved and beautiful property on 1.374 ha (3.4 acres) located on the outskirts of the Victor Harbor Township.

The home set in a gorgeous garden with lawns and mature trees, abounds with many features including original Baltic floors, sash windows and tessellated tiled front porch. Two sunrooms adjoin the two front bedrooms both with polished Jarrah floors. The third bedroom is of equally generous proportions, all with high ceilings, typical of the era. The country kitchen is the heart of the home with coastal views of The Bluff at Encounter Bay – has lots of cupboards and bench space, Baltic flooring providing access to the large dining/family room.

There is a formal sitting room which could easily convert to a large fourth bedroom or study/library.

The bathroom is generous in proportion, with a large bath and stand alone shower alcove.

Entertaining, relaxing or al fresco dining is catered for by the large deck by the rear entrance to the home, overlooking the lawns and garden. There is a princess deck off the northern end of the home with beautiful views down the coast to the south and to the rolling hills in the north.

Garaging comes in the form of a double carport with automatic roller door. There is another character sandstone shed which could be transformed into another room, which adjoins the fabulous “Studio”. The Studio is a beauty – galvanised iron exterior. Having been renovated only 6 months ago – has fully insulated ceiling and walls, with a main living area and bedroom. The living room has large picture windows which fill with fabulous views of the garden.

There is yet another shed – a purpose built steel framed galvanised iron colour bond shed built to house a fishing boat, plus another vehicle – and if that is not enough – there is an extremely tidy garden shed, perfect for the ride-on lawn mower and your garden tools.

The property is plumbed to both mains water and rainwater and rarely if ever needs flicking to the mains. There is lots of rainwater storage which is also used to water the veggie garden. The garden is simply beautiful – full of mature trees interspersed with attractive garden beds; a large rose garden (Austin Roses); wisteria arch walkway and stone and red brick pathways, hedges and large deciduous English trees, Chinese elms, Gleditsia and so many more. The orchard has apples, pears, nectarines and peach, with a number of fig trees, a large Tahitian lime and kalamata olive to name but a few.

Make no mistake this home is a one off – simply gorgeous in every way, located near Encounter Lutheran School and only a few minutes to the centre of the Victor Harbor Township. Lifestyle is what is on offer here, with loads of character and charm. There is room for a horse if you wish, so everything you could ever want in a property of this type is catered for here.
