• Whether you are a first home buyer looking to secure an affordable 3-bedroom home in a quaint country town, or a savvy investor looking for attractive rental return, then 19 Peake terrace could be it.

• Coonalpyn like many country towns has a massive rental shortage and with the recent boom times in Agriculture we have seen an influx of people to the area and therefore a shortage of housing exists. The Silo Mural in the town has drawn a huge number of tourists and the opportunity for someone to get their family out of the rat race really exists, with plenty of opportunity for work, lifestyle and open air.

• The large block with plenty of room for a growing family and space to store your vehicles with the massive 7.6m x 12m shed to fit plenty of cars or simply use for storage. The large 7.4m x 4.8m Rumpus room is attached to the shed and offers endless opportunities to utilise this space.

• Such an opportunity to purchase an affordable start up home in an area with solid growth. With the expansion of local intensive industries and farmers looking for accommodation for staff, it represents an opportunity to buy a house at an affordable level. Your consideration is highly recommended.

Shack 10 & Shack 11, Barker Knoll

As serene, enchanting and exclusive as any island, the old fishers’ village of Barker Knoll at the northern head of the Younghusband Peninsula must be the most tightly held getaway location anywhere in the State. Until now, no-one could sell even if they wanted to.

New regulations mean that shacks once destined for demolition with the passing of the owners can now be offered on the open market with a 30-year leasehold.

You have just this one chance to win your place in true Storm Boy country, with not one, but two cosy historic cottages at the gateway to the 150km long Coorong, just a few minutes boat-ride from Mundoo Channel boat ramp.

This is a place for the Big Unwind with family and friends, where ocean, Murray Mouth and Coorong fishing can bring you a haul of mullet, mulloway, flathead and more. Where the waterskiing and picnic paradise of The Saharas is in your panoramic views and just a quick boat sprint south. Where the ever-changing moods and light of The Coorong are front and centre in every moment you spend there.

And are they cute? They couldn’t be any cuter or any more laden with character and charm, boasting all the quirkiness and patina of a much-loved family holiday retreat for some fifty years.

Occupying perhaps the very best shoreline site with new wave attenuation wall and jetty, the shacks offer a total of three bedrooms: two in the main building (a double and a bunk-room) snugged into the sandhill with quaint chimneys; and one big gorgeous, white-themed double bedroom dubbed ‘the love shack’ for its romantic, old-world atmosphere, water views and warming wood stove for cool nights.

Entering the kitchen and meals area from the sunken veranda is a step back in time. Raked timber ceilings, window-lit hearth and views have made this cosy space a haven for generations, the perfect place to draw the family together at the end of idyllic days. With its eclectic décor, you’ll easily imagine the stories held by the walls of this room, host to remarkable characters over many years enjoying the pleasure of a visit: legendary film-makers, artists, winemakers and local identities whose names are legend to the region.

‘Island’ living has some special challenges, of course, and you should consider these before making an enquiry. You need a boat to get there practically, because the 8-hour drive from Tea Tree or 42 Mile crossing further South, might be inconvenient. And your stays need to be self-contained: Goolwa shopping and facilities are around 20 minutes from the Mundoo boat ramp. Being a National Park, you’ll also need to upgrade sewage management with installation of a holding tank within five years of taking on the lease. And you may wish to make things a little more civilised with a proper bathroom and by extending solar power generation and storage, which currently runs 12-volt lighting and some 240v power for essentials such as ‘phone charging.

But from Day 1 as-is, you’ll be amongst the very few who get to enjoy the rare pleasures of these truly unique dwellings in a setting unmatched for its natural delights, holiday versatility and power to get you into deeply relaxed mode.

• Two historic free-standing shacks complete with all contents (other than a few personal effects) offered on a walk-in walk-out basis
• 30-year lease (subject to installation of a waste water holding tank within five years)
• Boat-only access from Mundoo Channel boat ramp or Beacon 19 boat ramp (access with larger boats through the barrages)
• Accessible by 4WD if you drive to Salt Creek and up the beach from the crossings (which is subject to seasonal conditions)
• Solar power with battery storage and inverter (may be expanded or supplemented with generator)
• Three bedrooms, kitchen/dining, plant room, shed with w/c
• New retaining wall and jetty to waterfront
• Rainwater tank to kitchen (gravity fed)
• Woodstove cooking, gas refrigerator
• Firepit
• Great fishing and boating with walking access to ocean beach
• Ready to enjoy immediately

Whether you are a first home buyer looking to secure an affordable 3-bedroom home in a quaint country town, or a savvy investor, then 22 Northcott terrace could be it. With a little bit of vision and work, you can turn this house into a very comfortable home with room to expand or divide off a block. This could also really suit a renovator to buy, improve and flip or the investor looking for a terrific rental return on their investment. The possibilities are endless. Such an opportunity to add value or an affordable start up home in an area with solid growth. With the expansion of local intensive industries and farmers looking for accommodation for staff, it represents an opportunity to buy a house at an affordable level. Your consideration is highly recommended.

• A large 1594sqm double block, all in walking distance to the terrific facilities Tintinara has to offer and only 2 hours from Adelaide.
• Solid stone 3-bedroom with ample space to renovate and still have room for a massive shed.
• Large shed, with room to build more shedding or separate the block off and build another home.
• Efficient Solar panels already in place.

• Very good rental return.

What was once a productive migrant family block is now an opportunity to take your place on the Murray just 7km north of Walker Flat and a 2-minute drive to the Wongulla picnic ground and boat ramp.

Multiple sections on two titles take in a rich river flat, an existing house block with elevated views of the majestic river cliffs opposite and an extensive, perfectly flat upper section ideal for a new and view-rich home amongst new plantings of your choice. Here is a rare offering of great flexibility at a very affordable price, which includes a valuable and inalienable transferable water licence more than sufficient to make this a productive investment once again, with orchards, vines or other specialty produce.

The large river-flat section provides a chance to create your own ski or houseboat paradise, as well as productive acres. The original homestead on the flats is in ruins but a stone outbuilding remains as a restorable option.

The partially renovated, circa 1960s Besser block cottage on the middle section above Cliffview Drive offers three bedrooms (two of which are large), meals/living area and a basic but functional kitchen and bathroom. It could easily be upgraded to weekend accommodation or a home-base while you build something much worthier of the stunning views elsewhere on the property.

Of great appeal as a centre for a workshop-based business, trade storage or keeping boats or a vehicle collection is the quality built, 18×9.6m, high clearance shed. It boasts concrete floor and 3-phase power, with the bonus of a large high-roofed area behind.

Reticulation from the 3-phase pump down on the river feeds extensive irrigation around the property, including the large top block which also has a turkey-nest dam for pumped water storage and gravity feed to the lower sections. This top block has easy access from Peters Road. Multiple tanks also assist with pumped water storage.

The property with imagination and vision will reward the smart investor.
