The home:

Held by the current owners for an extraordinary 77 years, this 12-acre Glenburnie property offers a rare blend of heritage, heart and opportunity.

Steeped in family memories and surrounded by tranquil countryside, it promises an enviable rural lifestyle just minutes from Mount Gambier's thriving town centre.

Set back from the Princes Highway behind post-and-rail fencing and framed by established trees and gardens, the property exudes warmth and character from the moment you arrive.

The three-bedroom home is comfortable and immediately livable, yet holds exciting potential for renovation, extension or the creation of a brand-new dream residence (STCA) that makes the most of its sweeping acreage.

Inside, the home's welcoming atmosphere continues with light-filled living spaces, soft neutral tones and generous proportions.

A spacious lounge with a brick hearth, timber mantelpiece, wood fire and split-system heating and cooling provides a cosy spot to enjoy a movie night and flows through to the practical kitchen and meals area.

The kitchen offers plenty of timber cabinetry, laminate benchtops and a stainless steel oven and electric cooktop, while the adjoining meals area is sure to provide the ideal space for family dinner.

Meanwhile, an enclosed rear sunroom provides a versatile second living space ideal for a home office, rumpus or quiet retreat overlooking the property at the rear.

Each bedroom enjoys natural light and serene outlooks, while the main bedroom features floor-to-ceiling built-in robes.

The bathroom includes both a deep bath and separate shower, and there's excellent storage throughout, including in the laundry and mudroom.

Outdoors, the acreage invites endless possibilities - from hobby farming and keeping horses to establishing a workshop, or adding more shedding.

A powered workshop and concrete-floored shed are already in place, and the land's gentle contours create natural privacy and space to breathe.

A unique and charming highlight is the disused Mount Gambier-Heywood railway line that meanders through the property - a quirky reminder of the area's history and a talking point for visitors.

Perfectly positioned close to the Mount Gambier Racing and Karting Clubs and within easy reach of schools, shopping and services, this well-loved property offers the best of both worlds: rural tranquility with town convenience.

After many treasured years, this beloved family home awaits its next custodian - someone ready to write the next chapter, honouring its legacy while realising its extraordinary potential.
