'Willowbank, is set along the majestic Murray River, this rare riverside retreat presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a tightly held generational family property in an unforgettable natural setting. Spanning approximately 7.782 hectares, the property offers the perfect balance of rural charm, privacy, and riverfront living, making it an ideal escape for those seeking space, tranquillity, and connection to nature.

A short drive along your own private track leads to a secluded and well-sheltered river frontage, complete with direct access to the river and entry into a nearby lagoon system. Surrounded by magnificent river views and dramatic cliff faces, this protected stretch of river is perfect for skiing, fishing, yabbying, or simply unwinding beside the water while taking in the peaceful surroundings.

At the heart of the property sits the main homestead, featuring four generous bedrooms and offering comfortable family living with character throughout. Solidly constructed and rich in retro charm, the home can be enjoyed immediately or updated to suit modern tastes, with beautiful hardwood floors hidden beneath the carpet. Year-round comfort is provided by split-system air conditioning, ceiling fans, and the warmth of a wood fire, while the kitchen's original wood oven adds a touch of timeless country appeal.

'Willowbank' offers an array of unique accommodation options beyond the main residence. The former music room outhouse has been fully air-conditioned and includes two additional rooms, while a renovated caravan and bus provide further guest accommodation, complete with a separate bathroom and stunning river views. Perched on the cliff above the river are the remains of the original homestead, offering the option to restore or preserve as a rustic reminder of the property's rich history.

Practical infrastructure complements the lifestyle on offer, with an impressive four-bay shed providing ample space for vehicles, boats, equipment, and river toys. Additional covered parking is available near the house, along with a workshop and service pit, making the property equally suited to hobbyists and those with practical needs.

The expansive landholding enhances the appeal, offering open paddocks currently sown to saltbush, ideal for grazing a small number of animals. Lush grasses, a low-maintenance garden, and an established orchard add to the property's natural beauty and self-sufficient lifestyle, while the generous space allows for outdoor activities, weekend adventures, or simply enjoying the serenity of the river environment.

This is a truly special Murray River offering, combining privacy, space, and direct river access in a setting that is rarely available. Whether you are seeking a permanent rural residence, a family holiday retreat, or a legacy property to be enjoyed for generations to come, this remarkable river retreat delivers a lifestyle of peace, beauty, and endless possibility.
