Once in a A¢a?¬A"Blue MoonA¢a?¬ a property comes on the market which is within an affordable price range and provides the opportunity for the average person to make that lifestyle decision to escape the city for a more healthy, relaxed and casual way of living. Rattleys at Pear Tree Hollow is located at Inman Valley in the heart of the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia, 25kms from the seaside Mecca of Victor Harbor, approximately 9kms from Normanville and Yankalilla and about an hour from Adelaide.

The propertyA¢a?¬a?¢s location is central to the Southern Fleurieu attractions, which has greatly contributed to the Bed & BreakfastA¢a?¬a?¢s success. Attractions include Deep Creek Conservation Park together with access to the Heysen Trail, beaches and dive sites at Normanville and Rapid Bay, golf courses at Lady Bay and Victor Harbor and only 40 minutes to the Kangaroo Island Ferry.

Positioned on 2.96ha (approx 7.3 acres) the property is tucked off Nosworthy Road in a rural garden and bush setting with breath taking views over a beautiful rural landscape. Improvements include the main residence and the totally separate and self contained Bed & Breakfast cottage both of which enjoy the early settler cottage theme and heritage atmosphere.

The property and its facilities are totally off the grid by choice, preferring to use alternative energy, thus less environmental impact and carbon footprint which is an issue confronting us all. The property successfully relies on its own water reserves and a spread of natural energies including solar, wind, combustion, gas and with a generator system as backup when required.

Three bedrooms, one of which is upstairs, main bathroom, separate toilet and laundry/utility room completes the residenceA¢a?¬a?¢s practical floor plan.

Other improvements include shedding for both vehicles and storage, approximately 84,000 litres of collective rainwater storage plus dam and approximately 43,000 litres of garden water.

The property when originally purchased by the Burford Family in 1993 only had one lonely pear tree. Their passion has created a little piece of paradise and they have made it a priority to provide Bed & Breakfast accommodation to a meticulously high standard for all to enjoy. However itA¢a?¬a?¢s time for the Burfords to move on and because of the uniqueness of the offering we are asking for Expressions of Interest which will close at 5pm on Friday 29th May 2015.
