This expansive allotment spanning 6.5 hectares or over 16 acres offers both a tranquil escape and a blank canvas bursting with potential, perfect for those looking to build their dreams or yearn for a genuine tree change. The parcel is zoned Rural Living and comes with an existing three room studio equipped offering with Coonawarra wood fire. For power, you have the flexibility of using a battery or a generator. The property also provides ample storage and utility solutions with its carport, woodshed, container shed, and chicken coop. Water needs are well-met, with two 5,000-liter water tanks and a substantial 25,000-litre tank. The flat grounds are dotted with mature trees, providing shade and adding to the ambience, while the presence of a dam enhances the beauty and functionality. Tranquillity reigns supreme here. Over 95 species of birds have been observed, providing a gentle soundtrack to your days, occasionally punctuated by the gentle rustle of kangaroo, wallaby and echidna wildlife. Potential builders can capitalise on the existing permits for a 2-bedroom house and septic tank.
