Located between the two coastal havens of Victor Harbor and Normanville, you will discover this idyllic romantic cottage, set in a beautiful garden setting on just over an acre of land (5100m2 approx). The land borders the Inman River on the northern boundary - scenic and serene - a favourite spot for fabulous family get-togethers and barbecues! The rural setting and distant hills views combine to provide a sense of complete relaxation, evident from the moment you drive through the front gate. The original cottage dates back to the 1930's, with a large extension added in the 1970's, with major renovations occurring over the last ten years. Locally sourced recycled materials have been used where possible adding richly to the character and charm of the cottage. Timber from the Rapid Bay wharf demolition features in the renovation, one such example being the fabulous timber shelving found in the old chimney space. Feature walls have been created using oak timber floorboards from a local technical college and Oregan beams which have been sourced from nearby Yankalilla. The home oozes character from the moment you walk inside - enter from the large timber all-weather deck and be captivated the moment you step inside! The kitchen is the first port of call - the window over the kitchen sink fills with the gorgeous garden view - there's lots of bench space with Blanco 900mm gas cooktop and oven, together with a Euro stainless steel dishwasher. The mini-orb ceiling and polished timber boards set the scene for what is to come. From the kitchen you walk into the spacious lounge and dining room - the living room with a raked ceiling and timber beams, reverse cycle split air-conditioner, a feature brick wall and lovely sash windows with a door to the outside deck. The dining room continues the charm, with high ceilings and cornice, feature fireplace and slow combustion fire - French doors open onto the front verandah. At the kitchen end of the cottage, you will find two cosy bedrooms - both with ceiling fans and French doors opening to the front verandah. The main bathroom has recycled Oak timber walls, a luxurious full-size bath, separate shower and pedestal hand basin. The spacious master bedroom suite is at the other end of the home - complemented with a modern ensuite bathroom. Hours of fabulous alfresco living have been spent on the wonderful large deck - the view of the garden is sublime, mature English trees, lawn, the Arbor with climbing rose and raised vegetable beds. The towering river red gums come into view as you walk down the garden towards the river - the serenity here is palpable! There is bird life a plenty - lovely Blue Wrens will delight! Excellent shedding comes in the form of a very handy four bay shed with power connected. Additional features of the property include 45.000 litres of rainwater storage, water licence with water for the garden pumped from the river and NBN Skymesh connection. With the hectic pace of living today - everyone is searching for that special sense of calm - don't let this little gem pass you by!
