UNIQUE, WATERFRONT LIFESTYLE RETREAT
This unique property is located at the end of a private, shared road which offers seclusion with no streetlights, no traffic noise, amazing sunsets and only the sights and sounds of nature. It showcases 107m of natural fresh water frontage, fronting the Finniss River and capturing views of the Lower Murray, Goolwa, Hindmarsh Island and the Fleurieu hills. The Finniss River is peaceful sanctuary, abundant with amazing local birdlife and wildlife including pelicans who glide in and out each day to their rookery nearby, resident black swans, herons, native birds of all types and various birds of prey. There are even kangaroos and hares who occasionally pass through!
The custom designed, Santorini brick veneer, stylish home sits over 3m above the river and offers open plan living at its very best with large glass sliding doors and a picture kitchen window to capture the stunning, uninterrupted views. It was built for the current owners in 2016 by Fairmont homes and has been finished in style with attention to detail. It is perfectly designed to embrace a seamless transition between the indoor living area and the large outdoor alfresco area, while maximizing the use of natural light throughout. The house, front porch, front veranda and alfresco area boasts over 300m2 of living area and was built to a 6 star energy rating. All walls and roof are fully insulated and there is reverse cycle, zoned air-conditioning throughout, a heat pump hot water system, tinted windows and 2.7 m high ceilings.
