A rare opportunity to secure 10 acres of established riverfront living, with more than 300 metres of Delatite River frontage, a substantial rammed-earth residence and excellent rural infrastructure. River Star enjoys a tranquil outlook across the river, with sunsets filtering through the trees and a natural backdrop protected by a conservation reserve and extensive rural holdings beyond. Established gardens, fertile river flat and private stretches of riverbank create a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection to the landscape.
A substantial home with natural character
Built by Earth Structures, the residence features 300mm rammed-earth walls, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom includes an ensuite and walk-in robe with garden views. Open-plan living centres on a modern kitchen with Caesarstone benchtops, quality stainless-steel appliances and casual dining, flowing onto an expansive undercover deck overlooking the river. Year-round comfort is provided by an HRV heating and cooling system, Nobo electric panel heaters and an efficient modern fireplace. Additional features include solar panels, solar-tube water heating, a generator inlet and a four-stage water filtration system with UV treatment.
More than 300m of Delatite River frontage
The river is the defining feature of River Star, with a walking trail along the bank leading to swimming holes and secluded places to relax beside the water. The expansive undercover deck and outdoor firepit area, complete with a bocce lane, provide an inviting setting for entertaining family and friends.
Established gardens, paddocks and water infrastructure
The property is well suited to a productive rural lifestyle, with fertile river flats, established farm fencing, two main paddocks and a river reserve. The upper paddock features a spring-fed dam, while the lower paddock has a gravity-fed water trough, compact stockyards and a stock shelter. Both paddocks have irrigation outlets from the river. Established fruit trees, raised vegetable beds and a garden ring main provide a head start for home-grown produce, with room to expand.
Water infrastructure includes approximately 110,000 litres of rainwater storage, riparian water rights and a German-made electric pump drawing from the Delatite River. Operated remotely from the house, the pump supplies the garden ring main, with a gravity tank and electric pump also in place as backup to the river pump and house pump.
Workshop, vehicle accommodation and shedding
A double carport with internal access, a 90m² (7.5m x 12m) shed and an additional older machinery shed with two large bays provide ample space for vehicles, machinery, equipment, storage and hobbies.
