Located in the heart of the Limestone Coast in the South East of SA, the Coonawarra Region boasts a big reputation for it's terra rossa soils and award-winning wine produce, with the quaint country township of Penola being it's gatekeeper and tourism hub, and this lovely property is ideally situated only a short 10 minutes south of it. Mature gum trees frame the driveway as you enter the property, taking in the lush pastures that surround the now tidy and well maintained house block. Surrounding the property, quality updated fencing provides various secure areas for the family and kids, pets and livestock alike - in particular the approximately 4.5 acre front paddock with bore supplied water troughs, stock fencing and sheep run perfect for the hobby farmer seeking a lifestyle change.

The carpeted lounge on entry includes brand new reverse cycle air conditioning and a large updated woodfire heater, adjoining the country style kitchen with electric cooktop and oven, dishwasher and a spacious walk in pantry. The versatile floorplan allows for 4 bedrooms and an office, or a second large living/rumpus room depending on your needs.

Outside of the home a 12m x 10m shed sits firmly on a solid concrete foundation and includes several power outlets, with a well-lit and insulated "man cave" or home gym space separately accessible via glass sliding door access at the front of the shed - great for entertaining friends or the potential to adapt for home business use if desired (STCA). The adjoining two bay space provides room for vehicle, tool and workbench storage and all of the projects that you promised yourself you would get to eventually!
