Lot 553 Nikolic Drive, Andamooka SA 5722

This property is a diamond in the desert located in the friendly, quirky town of Andamooka that is approximately 600ks north of Adelaide. Andamooka is 34ks from the newer town of Roxby Downs and approx. 39ks from Olympic Dam where the large BHP copper and gold mine is located. Andamooka came into existence in the 1930s when opal was found resulting in an opal rush which brought people from around the world hoping to strike it rich.
This extremely comfortable house is built in Andamooka stone which keeps the house cooler during the hotter days. It is ideally positioned on the high side of a creek that is home to a myriad of birds. The owners have strategically placed water sources within view along the fence line in front of the house to encourage the wild life such as kangaroos, lizards and birds including emus.
