The sign near the cattle grid says: 'Wattle Dale' and there's a driveway leading up to the knoll where a rustic, 1915-built home is sited. The view from the front verandah over the surrounding acreage is just as peaceful as it was from the road. Ross Whiston welcomes you to 1650 Marrabel Road, Allendale North. With a rural zoning and approximately 5.942ha to work with, you may want to investigate restoring this home to her formal glory, keeping the highlight features like the beautiful floorboards and soaring ceilings and updating the house in keeping with its historic style, or perhaps adding a modern twist (subject to Council approval). A diamond in the rough, the house currently has two bedrooms, approximately 3.5 metre ceilings (measured in the hallway) and a slow combustion fireplace in the open lounge/dining area - part of which we're told was once sectioned off as a third bedroom. The rustic kitchen cabinetry and some of the lighting has art deco influences and the kitchen has a Metters cooker still in place. The bathroom is off the sunroom/sleep out towards the back of the floor plan and there's a separate, laundry plus bath with shower over, out the back, which is not currently in use. This area also has stairs leading down to a cellar. Off the kitchen, a covered verandah would be a lovely spot to sit on balmy summer evenings and it enjoys those serene country views over this property and neighbouring farmland. There are three rainwater tanks for the house and another big tank for the land, along with a dam (ground water run-off and rainwater only) which is currently used by the neighbours' sheep - the invited lawnmowers in residence. The current owner has been at the property for 10 years and during that time he's seen galahs, parrots, kookaburras, wood ducks and even echidnas on the property. He believes the land would suit horses, he has previously run sheep on the acreage. In terms of other buildings, there's a shed/garage with power, easily accessed from the driveway and the property also has two disused outbuildings. In terms of the location, 'Wattle Dale,' is only 7.4kms (approx) from the township of Kapunda, a larger town which has all the services you'd expect, such as a hospital, supermarket, schooling, cafes and other infrastructure. If you've been seeking a rural lifestyle project and a bit of land around you, while still being close to facilities and services, this could be the property you're looking for.
