41 Matthew Flinders Drive, Encounter Bay, SA 5211

Found in a prime position on one of the widest sections of the lake, located on a bend with tranquil water views looking back towards Lakeside Beach in one direction and the full expanse of the lake in the other. The sparkling waters glisten and the views from inside the home are simply magical. The Marshall Thompson home was built Circa 1994 and has been a much-loved home for its current owners of the last 25 years. An added attraction is the property is located next door to "Allenby Parsons Reserve", complimenting the beauty of the setting, together with the added privacy it provides.

The roadside façade of the home features a bluestone veneer, with rendered quoins, base and bands. A wide paved driveway welcomes you up to the home, providing off-street parking for two vehicles, together with an additional roadside carpark. On entering the home to the right of the entrance hall, you will find the master bedroom suite, complete with ensuite bathroom and walk-in robe, a door to your left provides internal access to the two-car garage with two auto roller doors. Moving on through the entrance hallway you will enter the first of two living rooms - a very spacious room which has been used as games room and dining room. A sliding door provides access into the lovely north facing courtyard (which is also accessed from the garage), throwing lots of natural light into the room. From here you move into the open plan kitchen/dining and living room - prepare to be totally captivated by the splendour of the spectacular water view on offer. The view from every corner of the room is simply magnificent - in the cooler months, the winter sun floods in - a glass sliding door providing access to the outdoor patio, complete with café blinds. Being north facing the patio is beautifully protected from the prevailing winds making it a most enjoyable spot for outdoor barbecues and alfresco entertaining. A very handy storeroom can be accessed from the patio. The lakeside garden is trellised with a small area of lawn and established garden - both the front and back garden are on an automatic watering system. For those who fancy a swim or who want to join the kayaking action on the lake, there is a landing from where you launch, or why not try your hand at catching a fish or two!

A hallway leads off to the side of the living room, providing access to another two bedrooms, laundry and main bathroom with spa bath, shower, vanity and separate wc. Other features of the home include 2.7m ceilings, NBN connection and a 16 panel solar system. There is a side gate and paved pathway which houses the utilities, whilst providing easy external access to both the front and back gardens.

The position is amazing - the views are to die for - close to the Lakeside Beach and "Boulevard Café on the Lake" and a comfortable walking distance to the beautiful coastal path found along Franklin Parade at Encounter Bay. The South Coast District Hospital is just around the corner and all of the wonderful features that make Victor Harbor such a popular destination is just a five-minute drive away. A wonderful place to call home, or an idyllic holiday escape perhaps?

Sit back, relax and be consumed by the beauty of the lake!
