5141 Hog Bay Road, Penneshaw - An exceptional coastal family home

3-4 Bedrooms 2 Bathrooms 998sqm

Expect to be suitably impressed when you enter this simply stunning family home known as North by Norwest. Located on the outskirts of the beautiful and picturesque coastal township of Penneshaw on Kangaroo Island.

Designed by Proske Architects and proudly and meticulously built by its owners in 2005, this solid family home is situated on highly sought-after prime coastal frontage land and boasts spectacular views across Backstairs Passage all the way to the mainland. Due to the owner downsizing, the property is now offered for sale for the very first time.

Beautiful exposed timber beams and high ceilings feature throughout the open plan kitchen, living and dining areas. There’s even a handy built in desk and study nook for those who work from home – noting the NBN is available here.

In summer you’ll enjoy the ceiling fans and a cooling ocean breeze whilst you watch the boats come and go from the nearby marina. Come winter, watch the weather roll through and look-out for whales whilst relishing a glass of local red next to the combustion fire in the living room. It really is a home to enjoy in all seasons.

The kitchen is well equipped with Miele electric oven and ceramic cook-top. A dishwasher and refrigerator are also included in the sale. The butler’s pantry allows for an abundance of storage keeping the kitchen area free of clutter and retaining the focus on the space to be enjoyed.

The Master bedroom suite is located at the front of the home to take advantage of the beautiful ocean vistas. It is of good proportions, has recently had new carpet installed and also has access to the front deck via sliding doors. A large walk in robe and adjacent ensuite with shower completes what is a beautiful adult retreat.

The second and third bedrooms are situated at the rear of the home, both spacious with ceiling fans and both overlooking the pretty rear gardens.

The main bathroom features a large walk in shower, heated towel rail and heat lamp. A separate toilet is located adjacent the laundry which contains a Robin Hood concealed ironing board.

You’ll love entertaining family and friends in the beautiful enclosed alfresco dining area. Perfect to take in the views and recessed to retain privacy from adjoining properties. From here you can wander along the front deck and down the stairs enjoying the established garden. Walk to Jack’s Creek or into town following the walking trail at the front of the property or descend to fish for squid off the rocks. The choice is yours.

Being tucked in away from the main road you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how peaceful and quiet this property truly is. The position also makes a perfect location for the protected rear garden. Here you will find an assortment of established fruit trees including espaliered pear, apple and plum trees, mandarin, pomegranate, quince, olives, grapes and even bananas.

The main double garage features an automatic door together with a handy loft that could be utilised as a studio or a handy space to house extra children during holiday periods.

With a great 3KW solar energy system currently enjoying a high feed-in tariff, two large 27,000 litre rainwater tanks, a woodshed and 6m x 9m (approx.) concrete floor shed, this property really is a complete package and represents outstanding value in a superb location.

This magnificent property could well be utilised as a fabulous Air BNB (subject to all relevant consents) with local gardeners, caterers and cleaners at the ready to assist. We can put you in touch with all the right people. Alternatively you may wish to enjoy the property as your family home or holiday retreat. Whatever you choose you’ll be sure to enjoy this home for many years to come with all the hard work already done.

The owners are willing to consider negotiating the majority of the furniture and contents to be included in the sale should you wish to purchase on a walk-in walk-out basis. Some exclusions will apply.
