A 'Significant Price Reduction' is now in place. Tucked out of sight at the end of a long driveway, here is a house and land combination that will surprise with privacy and reward with possibility: the best of rural living without the isolation and all within minutes of major town services, schools and recreation facilities. The modest gateway takes you onto a long, meandering driveway with your own almond orchard on one side, Middle Creek on the other, the property opening out more and more the further you go. A little under 5 acres (1.81ha), this is an expansive little estate that has clearly been very productive in the past - vegetable gardens, vines, fruit and nut trees - and would respond well to a new loving hand keen on restoring it to a high level of self-sustainable living. There's heaps of room for free ranging children's adventures too, whether its bikes, sleeping-out or creekside play. There was once a 1/7th scale railway running around the property, with remains still visible in the bridge over the creek and the creek-side embankment. The 1980s brick veneer, tiled roof home is settled centrally on the block, the surrounding land give it a strong spirit of place. In very sound condition and with three bedrooms, galley kitchen and breakfast area, L-shaped formal lounge/dining and family bathroom, the home needs some quick TLC but is eminently liveable while you make plans for your own 'country estate' improvements. A rear veranda (full length of the house) and brick carport provide good outdoor entertaining possibilities. The house has a split system r/c air-conditioner, NBN connection and a solar PV system to offset energy costs. The property has significant outbuildings including a former engineering shed with s/c heater and air compressor (perfect as a tradesperson's home-base), two-bay garage with concrete floor, and another shed formerly used as a self-contained weekender. A substantial gazebo provides shelter in the vegie garden. Middle Creek flows down one side of the property and a small dam (re-lining needed) provides storage for water drawn off during winter flows. Ideal for a growing family - especially one with adventurous children keen on fun and ripe for the special benefits of outdoor life - or a tradie with a home-based business, 25 Manse Road can be the haven that you yearned for during the trials of 2020, a place to future-proof your family, health and lifestyle without losing touch with the community. This is a rare opportunity to shape your own pace and place on perhaps the largest slice of land in the historic and charming town of Strathalbyn. Making it yours could be your best decision yet.   • 4.6 acres/1.81ha of prime township land with highly desirable Residential zoning • serenely private, farm-like allotment on Middle Creek • 3 bedroom brick veneer, tiled roof home • galley kitchen with ample storage, double sink, Bosch hob/oven, informal meals area, split system r/c a/c • formal lounge/dining with evap a/c • bay window master bedroom with b/i/r • separate laundry with outside access • attached carport • large, covered rear veranda • 1.5Kw solar PV, grid connected • solar HWS with electric boost • mains water plus 20Kl rainwater storage, small dam for pumped creek water (not equipped.
