118 ARCADIA AVENUE, Hindmarsh Island SA 5214

This lovely hidden gem of a property is located towards the end of a small peninsula of land which juts out into the River Murray and is part of the beautiful Coorong Quays on Hindmarsh Island. The nearby cul-de-sac at this end of Arcadia Avenue leads on to lawn picnic areas beside the water entrance to the marina, with sweeping views of the Murray across to the Sir Richard Peninsula and the Goolwa barrage. The property is quite hidden away and has a rural island feel while being only a 5-minute drive to the main shopping street of Goolwa town.

The Torrens Title property faces approximately north-east with plenty of red sunrises enjoyed from the balcony and has views over the busiest part of the marina and boat ramp and is amongst the best locations in the marina. Plenty of boat and water craft activity to admire while drinking coffee with friends on the lawns on the water side of the house. The property is sheltered from the prevailing south westerly winds by a high embankment on the opposite road side which is also a reserve and a great walking area. There is also a lawn reserve along the east side of the home with all the lawn areas maintained by the marina corporation. The board walk around the marina is right at the door encouraging lots of walking, especially dog walking, with no restrictions on pets, although council and government permits would be required for giraffes and elephants. Look out for the occasional kangaroo early in the morning. Cat owners are encouraged to keep their pets inside at night because of the considerable bird life that is present with plenty of pelicans, cormorants, rainbow lorikeets and many more species.

The house itself boasts 4 bedrooms upstairs with 2 having access to the balcony, the main has a walk-in robe and an on-suite with spa, 2 bedrooms have built in robes and all the bedrooms are of a good size. The downstairs is fashionably quaint having a separate kitchen with room for a kitchen table in the adjoining area. The lounge and more formal dining area are alongside with both areas having views of the marina. The bathroom and separate toilet are downstairs along with a large laundry room. A handy storage room is located under the stairs and has an outside door so it can also be used as a shed. The low maintenance private courtyard is enclosed with an original hardwood fence, has a single car port, with plenty of room for additional carparking or boat storage while still having some pretty flowering shrubs for the birds and blue banded native bees which have been seen in the courtyard garden.

This is a well-presented house which will make a lovely home for either retirees looking for a sea change, a holiday home for city dwellers or a home for families, there are two school buses that come into the marina each day.
