435 Randell Road, Hindmarsh Island SA 5214

Brilliant in design and functionality this spectacular, luxuriously appointed estate with expansive water views will quite simply take your breath away.

Perfectly positioned with a north facing orientation to take advantage of the best views across the river to the hills, whilst providing excellent protection from the southerly winds; relaxing here is not a choice, it is a given!

Whether it's gazing over the shimmering water or watching the yachts sail past, or maybe the black swans who nest in the reeds here every year, the ever-changing view is captivating. When you stop to simply listen, you might be lucky enough to find the Clamorous Reed Warbler that migrates from the Korean Peninsula to nest over summer in the reeds on the waterfront. Its melodious song is so beautiful. The views and the sounds of silence too will have you feeling you're a million miles from anywhere; contemplate and reflect that there is a sense of quiet, rather than noise and hustle.

Yet it's the indoors that evoke the tranquillity of being on a holiday escape with family and friends. Opening to the great outdoors and the alfresco dining space thanks to the generous double glazed sliders that stretch the entire length of the residence; here you will find five large umbrellas to wine, (chosen from your own climate controlled and fireproof wine cellar) and dine under while you take in the beautiful surrounds.

Planned to accommodate the largest of gatherings, this home has it all; with reverse-cycle ducted air-conditioning for year-round comfort, as well as under floor heating and double-glazed windows. An indoor solar heated pool complete with bathroom ensures summer holidays can be enjoyed all year round!

An expansive entrance hall with floor to ceiling glass gives way to the central courtyard. Viewed also from the open plan living, the internal courtyard offers a safe play area for young children, animals or even a quiet protected spot to relax in the fresh air.

When it's time to relax with family and friends, the main living room is where you'll want to be. Stunning views stretch across the expansive lawns to the river, this area will be a favourite every season; with an open fire and a cleverly designed tv which can be lowered, extended or turned 360 degrees for easy viewing plus beautiful furniture and original artwork which will remain with the property. The dining area and kitchen are equally appealing with European Beechwood timber cabinetry, a 10-seater dining table and upholstered chairs and a classic timeless designed kitchen complete with Miele appliances including a stainless-steel fridge, dishwasher, microwave oven, steam oven and general oven with waterfall benches of Caesar stone.

Flooring throughout the home consists of Turkish marble whilst the three separate lounge rooms are complete with carpet insert. The home theatre also has European Beechwood cabinetry as well as a ceiling mounted projector and automatic screen providing a true cinema experience.

A palatial master suite keeps an eye over the water to the sunset each night and in the mornings enjoys a sunrise glow from cleverly placed frosted glass panels below the cabinetry. A large walk in robe provides excellent storage and the ensuite as you would expect is just as generous featuring marble tiles, heated floors and towel rails. Each subsequent bedroom includes an ensuite and large walk in robe creating substantial guest accommodation.

The gymnasium is particularly impressive just off the pool room also providing the option of a fourth bedroom if required; complete with weights, treadmill, pilates equipment and numerous other gym equipment ensuring your fitness remains a top priority.

Just like all other rooms in this magnificent home, the laundry offers a plentiful space of storage cupboards, Miele washing machine and dryer with additional bench space with a drying area. A ducted vacuuming system is also provided. Outside of the laundry is a well-planned vegetable garden, complete with local stone walling.

Further storage rooms are provided outside of the home yet remain under the main roof; these include a pool filter room that has an extra generator to run the fridges of the home if ever required and an outside furniture storage room.

The courtyard looking out over the river is an external kitchen as well and includes a large multi-functional Beefeater bbq, hot plate, gas burners and gas wok burner whilst also having an electric double oven and vent including a rotisserie. This is all built into the stainless-steel cupboard which includes a large sink, lockable bar fridge and storage cupboards and drawers; lighting, exhaust fan and a large extendable teak table and chairs complete this magnificent setting.

Extensive shedding is also provided with a 16m x 10m shed with two large electric doors and it contains a shower, toilet and wash basin. A second double garage is also provided.

There are so many wonderful things to do in this special part of the world including fishing in the river off your own private jetty or off Goolwa beach, cruising beyond Tauwitchere Barrage to Lousy Jacks and Cattle Point. The calm waters in this area provide all manner of water sports or you can even experience a river cruise to Clayton, Milang, Meningie, Wellington, or cruise down and use the self-operated lock at Tauwitchere Barrage and come back to Goolwa on the river past Point Sturt through to Clayton.

The horse drawn tram from Victor to Granite Island is a must and one can include a visit to the restaurant-café there and stroll around the island. At night it is even possible to see penguins here.

The cockle train which runs between Goolwa and Victor is a very scenic journey through farmland and hugs the coast and offers gorgeous views to the Bluff. The Wooden Boat Festival held at the Goolwa each February is another must see.
