Retreat from the world into your own private universe – welcome to Boddington Close. Nestled in a private valley and tucked away from prying eyes, this stunning retreat is a cosmos of its own. Vast amounts of water, an attractive residence, extensive shedding (over 500sqm!), solar and unrestored stone outbuildings might pique your interest. The list of property improvements is long, the location one of a kind.

Troubles will fade from weary shoulders as you wind down the tree lined drive, past green valleys to the place called home. Replenishment of the soul awaits you here. Built in the 1990's, the colonial style, return veranda residence has an abundance of room for family and friends. Central to the home is a huge kitchen that overlooks the family dining & living zones. Formal entertaining is catered for in the dining room or lounge resplendent with open fire and picture windows embracing garden views. Sleeping quarters include 5 spacious bedrooms and the two bathrooms are well maintained.

Sheltered from the weather and nestled into the hillside, the residence enjoys peaceful views and is framed by mature gardens. Multiple outdoor living spaces include two pergolas, wide return verandas and the shade of tall trees over lush green lawns – the perfect picnic spot. Adjoining the home is a 4-vehicle carport and an external office.

A sustainable lifestyle is achievable here. Mother nature will keep you well stocked in firewood for the home, there is $$$ saving solar and an abundance of water. Experience fresh fruit from a small orchard and vegetables from your own patch. Farmers and gardeners will be grinning from ear to ear as there is plenty to support all your passions.

Water is essential to all forms of life and this property has it in spades with 6 dams, an unequipped bore and multiple tanks. The jewel in the water crown is one of the biggest private dams in the district. Sport minded people might use a jet ski and outdoor types could bring a canoe.

Lovers of a project might consider applying for a spot on Restoration Australia given the original stone buildings (homestead, bakehouse & store). All are in poor condition, but could be the challenge you've been looking for.

Bordered by the Mt Gawler forest reserve, a magnificent landscape awaits with undulating countryside offering good, sheltered grazing. The current owner runs sheep and a few head of cattle with room for the family ponies (there is a levelled menage, round yard + stable). An impressive list of other farming improvements includes substantial shedding (hay, implement, general purpose – refer to the list below), numerous outbuildings for garden/wood/tools plus a set of basic stock yards.

Properties like this are incredibly hard to find so close to the suburbs. Reunite with the great outdoors and yourself – a new life is beckoning!
