Prepare to be totally captivated by one of the most sublime sea and island views to be found anywhere on the Fleurieu South Coast.  Discover the incredibly cute Circa 1954 weatherboard cottage, sitting proudly on an elevated 687m2 (approx) allotment.  Construction is cement sheet weatherboard, with a tiled roof.  This has truly been a multi-generational property – offered for the first time in 70 years.  The property has the benefit of a right of way along its eastern boundary, which in turn provides a direct pathway to the beach and Franklin Parade. 

 The cottage is an idyllic holiday getaway, beautifully maintained over the years with three bedrooms – one with breath-taking sea and island views and sliding door access to the expansive front deck – all bedrooms have a built-in robe or cupboard.  The bathroom comes with a shower, bath, vanity and wc – there is second wc found next to the bathroom.  The open plan living space incorporates kitchen, living and dining, with picture windows capturing the panoramic ocean view, taking in Victor Harbor and the Causeway linking it to Granite Island and beyond to Port Elliot and back to Seal Rock, Wright Island and The Bluff at Encounter Bay.  The laundry completes the internal floor plan.  Additional features include a recently installed reverse cycle split air-conditioner in the living room, as well as a slow combustion fire which provides a cosy level of comfort in the cooler winter months.  High ceilings add to the sense of space. 

 Two sets of sliding doors provide access from both the kitchen and living room to the fabulous front deck.  The views are simply mesmerising – sparking waters by day and glorious moon beams across the bay on the night of a full moon.  Alfresco entertaining and dining will become a highlight of living here! 

Garaging comes in the form of a detached 6m x 6m garage, which is also a great spot to park your boat, given the high clearance sliding doors.  An added attraction for boaties is the Encounter Bay boat ramp is only a two-minute drive away!  "Whalers Seaside Restaurant" is located adjacent to the boat ramp at The Bluff, with the "Beach House Café" and "Yilki General Store" a short walk away, along the esplanade on Franklin Parade.  The beauty of Petrel Cove and the majesty of the Waitpinga cliffs and coastline are within easy walking distance, as is the Heysen Trail which follows the coastline towards Cape Jervis. 

 The cottage is so cute, the views to die for and the location – simply amazing!  Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity!
