971 Ilparpa Road, White Gums NT 870

Just 15 minutes from town this magnificent piece of rural happiness welcomes you at the well labelled ‘Squeaky’ front gate. Follow the row of abundant olive trees to the circular driveway in front of the main home.

It’s hard to miss the squeaky windmill in the front paddock, an icon reminiscent of its once importance. A resplendent white gum is not too far from the underground bore, the property’s source of water that feeds the tanks close to the homestead.

The rectangular 10.44ha property spans from the driveway on Ilparpa Road to the back fence that butts onto Roe Creek.

As you can imagine, birdlife is abundant. You will have to get used to the red-tailed black cockatoos that make their presence known early in the mornings and the odd kangaroo or wallaby short cutting through the property. The very special sunrises and sunsets will be there for you, reflecting brilliantly off the mountain range at the rear.

The elegant, four-bedroom two-bathroom home is reminiscent of a plantation home straight from the savannahs of Africa. The wide and tiled verandahs wrap the homestead with the back verandah built in with an abundance of glass, perfect for casual living throughout the seasons. It is the perfect spot for entertaining friends and enjoying the magnificent and uninterrupted bush, river and mountain views.
