3.103ha (7 1/2 acres). What an amazing property and opportunity. Two stone homes of character provide diverse living options. Generous amounts of shedding include barn, implement shed, studio and more all on land that is serviced by its own bore.
SITUATION: Centrally located between the hills township of Mt Pleasant and the river townships of Mannum and Walker Flat, the area of Angas Valley is a small farming community with a scattering of recreational lifestyle properties such as this lovely property. This holding was once part of a much larger property and offers homes and structures reflective of its era with many significant upgrades that now present a unique and diverse opportunity.
LAND: 3.103ha (71/2 acres) The contour of the land sees a very modest undulation that ensures the whole property can be utilised. There are stone lined pathways, garden beds and driveways that meander amongst the native gardens. These gardens attract an array of birdlife including parrots and cockatoos, other inhabitants that may include possums, echidna’s and sleepy lizards wander through the property and the distinct sound of the kookaburras, all of which collectively embrace the surrounds and provide the real sense of Australia. The property is serviced by its own bore which is a tremendous asset to any property.
RESIDENCE 1: Constructed in the 1930’s of brick and limestone, the home has retained all its character whilst undergoing an extension. Its classic exterior is formed by the two sided verandah that is accessed from either the front steps or the curved corner steps. The limestone pillars and rendered low wall give that traditional porch feel. Enter the home by
opening the double doors and be greeted by a wide central hallway that features decorative architrave, a ceiling rose, 10’ ceilings and timber floors which are prominent throughout the home. A beautiful room is the large lounge which has all the periodic features including picture rails, patterned ceiling, high skirtings, the timber floors and a slow combustion heater recessed into the fireplace. Another living area is the dining area which is currently used as a library. The informal living area is by way of a family section that also has a slow combustion heater, is light filled, adjoins the kitchen and has colonial pane doors that access the rear verandah. The kitchen has a country orientation with an old wood stove along with a modern electric cooker, has enough space for a dining table and has a fantastic storage area/butlers pantry. The two bedrooms in this home are both very large. The bathroom has been renovated to include a new shower recess, twin towel rails, a pedestal vanity and more. A utility room includes the laundry facility and accesses the toilet, with its adjoining storage alcove.
RESIDENCE 2: Believed to be constructed just prior to the turn of the century, the thick stone walls and timber ceilings are a true reflection of a bygone era. The recent renovation of this home has created a three bedroom, character laden cottage that features a lounge room with a wood heater built into the original fire place. The kitchen is very accommodating, with room for a dining table. The main bedroom is positioned towards the rear of the home, has its own cast iron heater set into a fireplace and adjoins an easterly facing sunroom. The tastefully updated bathroom includes a very large shower alcove, toilet and laundry. The home is embraced by a concrete platform porch under a bullnose verandah.
IMPROVEMENTS: Being once part of major, income producing property, there are many structures that provide many alternatives. Close to the main residence is a freestanding stone and brick studio which is lined, has power and a concrete floor. The barn is a stone and G.I. building that measures 50’x20’ and has a 50’x15’ attached lean-to carport/storage facility. The implement shed, which measures 45’x22’, is ideal for floats, caravans and other items that require high clearance. Still on shedding there is a 30’x20’ G.I. shed which is used as a workshop and has loading ramp facilities. A large chicken run is suitable for poultry breeders or those who just simply want their own fresh eggs. Raised vegetable beds and a few fruit trees enable the growing of your own produce. A series of interconnected tanks supply fresh water to the homes whilst the grounds are serviced by the bore.
