Positioned along the pristine banks of the River Murray within the sought after Placid Estate, 70 Sandpiper Road presents a truly exceptional lifestyle opportunity. Custom built in 2006 by GE Hughes, this substantial dual-level residence combines elevated water views, versatile multi-family accommodation, and extraordinary infrastructure, all complemented by an expansive entertaining deck, a private sandy beach, and direct access to exclusive community boat ramp facilities.
From the moment you step onto the upper level, the home is filled with natural light and breathtaking river vistas. Designed as the primary entertaining zone, the spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area flows seamlessly onto a magnificent elevated deck overlooking the water, the perfect setting for long lunches, sunset drinks, or simply watching the river come to life. The well-appointed kitchen is designed with entertaining in mind, featuring electric cooking, a dishwasher, and a generous walk-in pantry.
The upper level also offers a comfortable master retreat complete with carpet, ceiling fan, and walk-in robe, while bedrooms two and three are both fitted with built-in robes and ceiling fans. A central bathroom, laundry with walk-in storage, and a convenient linen press complete this level.
Downstairs delivers outstanding flexibility for extended family, guests, or teenage accommodation. This self-contained level features a second open-plan living area with an additional kitchen setup, a dedicated home office, a fourth bedroom with walk-in robe, a fifth bedroom, and a second full bathroom. Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning services both levels, ensuring year-round comfort throughout the home.
Outdoors, the infrastructure is simply remarkable. The standout feature is the enormous 40m x 20m enclosed shed, complete with concrete flooring, power, and a direct water connection - ideal for wake boats, jet skis, caravans, trailers, workshop space, or serious storage requirements. Water security is equally impressive, with a 25,000-gallon rainwater tank plumbed directly to the home alongside a direct River Murray water connection. A 5.6kW solar system and solar/electric boosted hot water help keep ongoing running costs to a minimum.
Living here means waking to panoramic river views, walking down to your own private beach to launch a kayak or paddleboard, and enjoying the convenience of the private Ski Club boat ramp just moments from your door.
