A Unique Cottage In Yankalilla With A Creek Running Through!

This is a very rare offering of a part stone cottage on 2.4 Ha (approx) with the beautiful Carrickalinga Creek running through the property. This property offers so much in both rural and town living with such a feeling of isolation but only a 3 minute drive out of Yankalilla towards Adelaide. Both the cottage and the land are bursting with opportunity in an ideal country setting. As you make your way down the drive the cottage appears from nowhere with its many slate, stone and brick facia and the external character features make it so rustic and warm. The front door opens into the main room where the large open fires greets you as the sunlight works its way through the many windows and coloured glass features throughout the house. The property has a rustic natural feel to it that takes you back in time and is ideal for development or just left the way it is and used as a holiday home as its current owners do. You'll work your way up the winding open stairs to the second floor where you come to an area used as the second bedroom with two roof windows that look out over the impressive views of the farmland and creek. The land just keeps getting better with just under 6 acres of variety in the garden landscapes, there are areas of natural scrub, elegant gums standing alone within a park like setting and the icing on the cake is the Carrickalinga Creek that runs wet all year around through this charming property. The cottage is located down a country road which leads out on to main south road to Adelaide which would be little more than an hour away and so within commuter distance. For all those wine buffs out there with even more to temp you as Allusion Winery sits right next door to this property. If ever there were a property on 'Escape to the Country' then this would be close, so come and see if this is as charming as it sounds with all the amenities that Normanville and Yankalilla can provide. The Fleurieu Peninsula offers so much from its many art galleries to the beautiful clear beaches from Carrickalinga to Kangaroo Island. Don't let this one slip through your fingers as there won't be such another rare and unique offering for a while.

Responsive, helpful and professional

From our first encounter with Jason we found him pleasant and credible. He was always very quick to respond to our queries. We never felt as though he was trying to coerce us into buying the property we were interested in. He simply presented it and spoke honestly and positively about it. He let us decide if it met our needs without the constant 'chatter' that we've experienced with other agents. While an agent's role is primarily to represent the interests of the vendor, Jason nevertheless supported us with respect and consideration. I think he facilitated a good outcome for the vendor and ourselves.

Excellent agent

Jason responded quickly to my request for an initial meeting. We met, he listened carefully to my expectations and took in the answers to the questions he put to me. He then undertook a comprehensive and detailed assessment of the property. He quickly recognised the special features of the property and developed a marketing plan to suit. He also made some recommendations for improving the property's presentation. He was utterly professional in all his dealings: he had an excellent understanding of the potential market for the type of property, he communicated well and was easy to communicate with, he negotiated effectively, he was reliable in regard to phone calls and meetings and he provided me with useful local knowledge. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a first class agent!
