Countryside pretty enough to go on a postcard.

Welcome to 'Retreat'.
Once home of the "Retreat Homestead," with many of the magnificent original out building still remaining like the bachelors quarters, the now four bay machinery shed that was once part of the large stable complex that was on the property and also used to house the draft horse wagons, there is also the old meat house. The dairy shed has been made in more recent years with the bricks remaining from the old homestead. For every 100 bricks made by convicts back in the day (approximately 1841) they would put a thumbprint in the brick.... Still to this day you can see the thumbprints in some of the bricks! If ever there was a property with a long line of historical stories to tell it's this property. The current residence was built in 1956.
Set on picturesque 61 acres of rolling hills with the south west boundary of the property along the magnificent Glenelg River, out here you're in a magical world of your own.
Currently running 20 head of cattle with calves at foot this undulating heavy carrying country has a good fertiliser history with pastures thriving. The fencing is reasonable, there are cattle yards, a dam and billabong. The vegetable garden is full of summer vegetables and eggs are no worries with a chook pen, an opportunity awaits to be quite self-sufficient if you please.
Moving inside- The home comprises of 3 reasonable sized bedrooms all with ceiling fans and the master bedroom with built in robes and a spectacular outlook from it's window. The bathroom has been updated in recent years with spa bath, shower and vanity. The toilet separate for your convenience. The open kitchen and dining room flow onto the lounge here you will find the wood heater and air-conditioner for your comfort. The home also boasts a large sun/ mudroom the length of the home, this I a fantastic area providing an abundance of space and storage with built in cabinetry, this is also where the office is currently set up.
Seldom does an amazing opportunity for such a picturesque property with acreage, amazing history and a family home all within short driving distance from town become available.
