1478 Randell Road Palmer SA 5237

Situated on almost 75 acres, this idyllic sanctuary, surrounded by abundant native flora and fauna, is stunning. Reminiscent of a mini national park, there's so much to explore.

This highly diverse oasis in an otherwise heavily grazed landscape contains many rare and endangered species. There are lots of sun orchids, donkey orchids, and others, as well as fields of chocolate lilies.

The circa 1990 residence boasts 2.7m and 3.0m ceilings and accommodates three nicely separated bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two large living areas. It offers superb views from virtually every window.

The Alby Turner kitchen is ideally located at the hub of the home and has ample pantry storage and work surfaces. The sunken living room with a wood heater and reverse-cycle air conditioner provides year-round comfort, and the main bathroom is huge.

The house yard is separately fenced from the larger extent of the property and adjoins a stock paddock, currently accommodating a couple of horses.

Water requirements are well taken care of, with approximately 65kL of rainwater storage that feeds the house and a good-quality bore (non-potable) that is pumped to a concrete water tank, approximately 130kL, that services the house toilets, garden, stock, and firefighting needs.

There's mains power, a solar PV system and plenty of shedding, including a shade/glass house, garaging, a carport, and a chook run.

Several outbuildings are scattered throughout the property for storage and other rural pursuits, including a camp shed with a kitchenette, wood stove, toilet, rainwater tank, and fire pit area.

Other property features include five seasonal surface water dams (only two hold water) and two old quarries. The property has a Native Vegetation Heritage Agreement, with the house and stock paddock in an NVHA exclusion zone of 1.1 Ha or 2.7 acres approx.

A world away from the stresses of suburban life, a native sanctuary cradles the house, where so much can be enjoyed day and night in this private retreat.

Situated on the edge of the River Murray International Dark Sky Reserve-Australia's first Dark Sky Reserve and one of only 21 worldwide-you'll share bright starry nights with unique nocturnal wildlife and enjoy the twinkle of distant town lights.

Offering the serenity and vibe of a rural retreat, providing exclusivity and privacy, but still within easy travel distance of multiple major towns.

You'll be forgiven for forgetting that you are a mere 30-minute drive to Murray Bridge, a 45-minute drive to Mount Barker and just an hour from Adelaide.
