What's around 36A Deep Creek Road

AQUILA - A Private Rural Retreat With Extraordinary Possibilities

Aquila is a hidden rural property offering extraordinary privacy, sweeping views and a rare opportunity to shape the next chapter of an already substantially developed holding. Tucked away behind private farmland and accessed via two tracks from Deep Creek Road, the property reveals spectacular views across the surrounding hills and valley to Lake Alexandrina. Middleton's beaches are approximately seven minutes away, with Goolwa, Victor Harbor and Adelaide all within easy reach. THE LAND Currency Creek winds through the lower section, holding water for most of the year and creating a peaceful creek flat beneath ancient gums. A timber hut, fire pit, abundant birdlife and resident kangaroos make this a natural place to camp, relax and reconnect with nature. A pair of wedge-tailed eagles has long nested in the property's largest tree, inspiring the name Aquila - Latin for eagle and the name of the constellation whose winged form echoes the shape of the land. The north-eastern corner is steeper and heavily wooded, with dense native vegetation, an old stone wall and a natural waterfall after rain. In 2020, Trees for Life direct-seeded approximately six hectares with 11 indigenous bush and tree species. The young woodland has established without irrigation and now supports abundant birdlife and kangaroos. Deer fencing protects the revegetation area, while the lower property is fenced to keep stock away from the creek. Other features include a substantial dam, open northern paddock and a large quantity of stone recovered during the house excavation, ready for future landscaping or construction. The land has previously supported sheep, horses and Angus cattle. ALL-WEATHER ACCESS A professionally constructed gravel driveway from the northern gate includes water-management infrastructure and provides year-round two-wheel-drive access directly to the shed. The original four-wheel-drive track from the southern gate climbs to the hilltop and continues across the western boundary towards the dam. The elevated position also delivers memorable sunrises over Lake Alexandrina and the surrounding hills, with valley mist sometimes settling below the shed. THE SHED Completed in 2021, the impressive 14m x 8m (112sqm) shed is divided into two areas. The front section is insulated, powered and designed for enjoying the property, with three sliding doors, extensive windows framing the valley views, portable kitchen storage, hot water and a European combustion stove. The doors open onto an outdoor entertaining area with a new fire pit overlooking the trees towards Lake Alexandrina. The rear section provides substantial machinery and equipment storage, including a dedicated work area housing the solar inverter and batteries. Two high roller doors accommodate a caravan, boat or motorhome, with an additional smaller access door. Important: The shed is approved as a farm shed (10A) and is not approved for overnight accommodation or residential living. FOUR POSSIBILITIES 1. Private rural retreat Enjoy Aquila as an off-grid escape, with solar power and battery storage, rainwater tanks, LPG, hot water, a substantial dam and a creek that runs for most of the year. 2.

Build the approved residence Planning and building consent has been obtained for an extraordinary 454sqm architect-designed home, including 311sqm of internal living space. Designed by Barton Phillips Building Design, the proposed residence features four bedrooms plus a separate guest suite, two main bedroom wings with walk-in robes and ensuites, a cantilevered living room with stone fireplace, designer kitchen and butler's pantry, glass dining room, sheltered courtyard and extensive outdoor living. The separate guest suite includes its own kitchen, ensuite and deck. Additional features include a downstairs gym, double garage, front verandah and a 59sqm louvre-roofed north-facing deck. Professional interior design, joinery plans and internal specifications have been completed.

An experienced local builder involved from the beginning is available to continue the project, or buyers can appoint their own team. 4. Explore a tourism opportunity A concept and business plan has been prepared for three A-frame cabins designed around tourism guidelines.
