157 Retreat Valley Road, Gumeracha SA 5233

Come home to the peace and tranquillity of this delightful country haven home. The land is 10.29 Ha (approximately 25.5 acres) and while parts of the land are quite steep, if it was flat, the price the property would attract would be well over $600,000. Built in 1940 the home has polished floorboards and lofty ceilings throughout and the property has many original features but has also been tastefully updated with a lovely kitchen, bathroom and laundry and yet somehow still has echoes of times gone by. The elegant French doors at the front of the home lead directly into the spacious, open-plan lounge and dining room. There is a good size slow combustion heater in the fireplace in the lounge and this heats the dining area as well. There's also a fan-assisted heat exchange grill which relays warmth to the bedrooms. The spacious kitchen has a lovely old wood stove in place plus of course a new stainless steel cook top and separate oven. This room is large enough to have a family eating area for casual dining. All three bedrooms are very spacious and the master bedroom has floor to ceiling built-in robes.
There is a lovely garden immediately around the home and there is a block of flat land which extends alongside the road for quite some distance but the majority of the land is hilly to steep, perfect for sheep, goats or alpacas. Fenced into 4 paddocks there is water for stock and a bore pump to water the garden and the small orchard. The high rainfall in this area means that the rainwater tank is nearly always full and the land is lush and green. There is a small woodshed plus a large shearing shed along the roadway and the property would definitely benefit from a garage being built in the vicinity of the home as there is not one currently in place. Fencing around the property may need a little work but this has been reflected in the excellent price range.
