389 Blockers Road MYPONGA SA 5202

Even before you reach this property you know youre going to love its location; passing through stringy bark forests, centuries old native bush, rolling fields full of dairy cattle and the most glorious countryside you have seen. As you approach the 4 bed, 2 bath brick veneer homestead, you are not disappointed, rounding the corner to find it nestled in a slight dip amongst gently rolling pastures with countryside as far as the eye can see.

The property, built in 1989, sits on almost 11 acres of land entirely bordered by trees and is currently separated into 3 paddocks, plus the home paddock. The neighbours are a small herd of Freesian cows belonging to a nearby dairy farm and with the home being set well back off the quiet road by a long driveway the only noise you hear is the wildlife.

The home, with its traditional and practical layout, makes the most of the stunning 360 degree views with a wide wrap around verandah and beautiful big colonial style windows. With good quality exposed brick and weatherboard features inside, the property subtly captures that country feel.

* Spacious master bedroom with TV point, walk in robe and brand new ensuite

Words from the vendor:

“The reason we chose this beautiful home and land was that at heart we are country folk. If you have the opportunity to escape the suburbs this is it. Still close enough to see family and friends but then relax in the tranquillity and fresh air of the country- side.

To be self sufficient in todays busy world is so rewarding, fresh eggs, vegetables and your own meat should you desire. Then at the end of the week take the time to relax, let everything go, enjoy what you have – a vital ingredient for good health. Sitting back and listening to the sounds of nature are so uplifting while enjoying a wine- beer or reading a book on your veranda takes away all the worries of the world.to wake up to all types of birds calls and Kookaburras laughing just brings a smile to ones face before you have even opened your eyes. Then to see and hear the ducks glide in and land gently on the dam is just such a pleasure. At night you can hear the call of crickets and frogs, it is a good environment.

We love spending time gardening and here you can never have enough, whatever you want you can achieve there is plenty of water and tons of room or just admire what you have.our grandchildren could run wild make as much noise as they wanted, play in the cubby house or climb trees and us adults could play our favourite music loudly and not disturb the neighbours.

Becoming part of the community is your choice country people are always there for each other without being intrusive.

Sadly the time has come for us to think of downsizing and when we sell our little farm we will have the chance to build our very first home – a lot smaller one of course.
