Welcome to Cordolyn, a remarkable lifestyle property set across approximately 23.5 acres (9.5 hectares) of fertile, fully arable land in the picturesque surrounds of Strathalbyn. Offering the perfect balance between comfortable family living and productive rural land, this exceptional holding presents an opportunity for families dreaming of a true country upbringing, hobby farmers seeking space and versatility, or buyers looking to establish a small-scale commercial venture.

Originally built in 1976, the spacious family residence has been thoughtfully updated over time, combining classic country charm with modern improvements. The home offers six bedrooms and two bathrooms, with renovations to both bathrooms and the laundry completed in 2024, while the kitchen was upgraded in 2019 and features a gas cooktop and generous preparation space for family meals and entertaining.

Multiple living zones provide flexibility for growing families, including a large family room warmed by a substantial Nectre combustion heater, a separate dining room and a versatile games or rumpus room perfect for children, hobbies or entertaining. Split system air conditioning in the master bedroom and family room ensures year-round comfort. Bedroom six also offers the benefit of separate external access, creating an ideal space for a home office, guest accommodation, or independent teenager's retreat.

Surrounding the home is approximately 1.2 hectares / 3 acres dedicated to the house block, providing generous space for gardens, recreation and outdoor living. Beyond this, the expansive 8.3 hectare / 20.5 acre main paddock opens up a wealth of agricultural and lifestyle possibilities.

The property has been carefully set up for productive rural use. The fully arable paddock has previously supported 14 head of Black Angus cattle and commercial chicken pastures, while historically producing phalaris, rye and clover. Infrastructure across the land includes excellent fencing and a well-designed water system, with nine taps positioned throughout the paddock at approximately 50 metre intervals via 32mm irrigation poly pipe, ensuring convenient access to mains water wherever it is needed.

For horse lovers, the property is particularly well suited, offering four horse stables with adjoining yards, two of which are fully enclosed, with mains water available. Additional improvements include a substantial 15m x 9.6m concreted shed with power and water, a three-bay carport, and a workshop with power. Adding further practicality and character are three railway carriages sourced from the Ghan, positioned within the paddock and providing unique additional storage.

Complementing the orchard is a rabbit-proofed vegetable garden of approximately 1,000sqm, already producing an abundance of seasonal vegetables and herbs including pumpkin, corn, zucchini, snow peas, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, capsicum, coriander, basil, oregano, spring onion, rhubarb and strawberries. For families seeking a more sustainable lifestyle or the potential for boutique produce sales, the groundwork has already been laid.

Water security is another key feature of the property, with mains water connected, approximately 57,000 litres of rainwater storage, the toilets are connected to mains with the remainder of the home supplied by rainwater with a Puratap filtration system installed in the kitchen.
