Whether you are searching for a weekend retreat, a permanent tree-change, or an investment with immediate return, 415 McKay Road delivers a rare opportunity to embrace relaxed country living without sacrificing comfort.
The home itself is warm, welcoming, and designed for year-round enjoyment, offering three well-sized bedrooms, a neat central bathroom, gas hot water, and gas appliances within the kitchen.

Purpose-built for independent living, the property is fully off-grid and exceptionally well-equipped.

Adding further peace of mind is a near-new 5.5kW electric start generator installed in December 2025.

Ideal for those wanting space for animals or hobby farming, the property has been divided into highly functional sections, including approximately two acres of newly fenced backyard surrounding the home, a separate one-acre horse paddock, and a five-acre alpaca paddock complete with shelter, rainwater storage, and drinking troughs.

Nature lovers will appreciate the incredible wildlife regularly seen throughout the property, including kangaroos, emus, wombats, and an abundance of native birdlife, all contributing to the peaceful rural setting.
Despite the privacy and tranquillity on offer, the property remains conveniently located just 4km from the Blanchetown township and nearby river boat ramps, providing easy access to local amenities and outdoor recreation.
Currently tenanted at $350 per week, the property also presents an attractive investment opportunity with immediate rental income already in place.
