Rarely does a property of this calibre come along. If you have ever dreamt of owning your own little country estate, only minutes from the beautiful and pristine beaches of the Fleurieu Peninsula, Gaia's Garden has everything one could desire in this quintessential country & seaside retreat.
The main homestead offers three large bedrooms, with the master bedroom on the upper level consisting of ensuite and parents retreat. The exceptionally impressive lounge/dining is surrounded by beautiful stone walls and a central stone open fireplace that oozes charm and demonstrates the exceptionally high standard of decor that sets this home apart from the others. The attention to detail in the kitchen has created a beautiful warm inviting space with a rustic feel, which affords some remarkable views out to the gardens. There is also the plus of a large bright conservatory, and a traditional heritage bathroom.
Everything about this property is quality; all finishes are of a high standard, with the lovely use of classic timbers and stained glass. The home is surrounded by beautiful gardens, with an abundance of flowers, shrubs, lush lawns, birds and wildlife.
The three bedroom 'Rose Cottage' sits opposite the drive and its spacious charm and furnishings have made this a sound and successful investment for the current owners, operating as a Bed & Breakfast for many years. There is also another 1-bedroom unit for even more additional income or family member, fondly known as 'Rose Bud Retreat'.
The grounds are as complete as the house. As you walk around this 6.97 Ha (17.22 Approx) acre estate you'll find ample garaging, shedding and parking. There is a fully enclosed orchard and a large veggie garden, both with potential for additional income. Also, a fox proof chook shed, large glades and native scrub. Water is supplied by a reliable registered bore, large dams, and large rainwater tanks in excess of 225,000 litres. Not to mention the Carrickalinga Creek that runs all year round with an enchanting babbling brook that runs over a picturesque waterfall. This is what dreams are made of! Peace, tranquillity, and serenity; your hardest decision will be where to enjoy your morning coffee or glass of wine in the evening as the sun sets in your own piece of paradise.
What makes this so unique is you can have all this self-sufficiency and country lifestyle and you're only an 8-minute drive to Normanville and enjoying all that comes with coastal living as well. This property sits just outside of the township of Yankalilla which makes it only an hour or so drive from Adelaide and within easy driving and distance for commuters.
These rare offerings only come along once in a blue moon, with the current owners sadly moving on after 32 years of the country/coastal living experience.
Viewings are strictly by appointment only by calling Zackary Gawley of First National Copley Real Estate Normanville.
