Squeaky Windmill - Squeaky By Name, Not By Nature

Just 15 minutes from town this magnificent piece of rural happiness welcomes you at the well labelled ‘Squeaky’ front gate. Follow the row of abundant olive trees to the circular driveway in front of the main home.

It’s hard to miss the squeaky windmill in the front paddock, an icon reminiscent of its once importance. A resplendent white gum is not too far from the underground bore, the property’s source of water that feeds the tanks close to the homestead.

The rectangular 10.44ha property spans from the driveway on Ilparpa Road to the back fence that butts onto Roe Creek.

As you can imagine, birdlife is abundant. You will have to get used to the red-tailed black cockatoos that make their presence known early in the mornings and the odd kangaroo or wallaby short cutting through the property. The very special sunrises and sunsets will be there for you, reflecting brilliantly off the mountain range at the rear.

The elegant, four-bedroom two-bathroom home is reminiscent of a plantation home straight from the savannahs of Africa. The wide and tiled verandahs wrap the homestead with the back verandah built in with an abundance of glass, perfect for casual living throughout the seasons. It is the perfect spot for entertaining friends and enjoying the magnificent and uninterrupted bush, river and mountain views.

A welcoming front entrance leads to the spacious and formal living area as well as the main bedroom suite. There is a mandatory walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom for convenience.

The remaining three bedrooms are positioned on the opposite western side of the home, convenient to the family bathroom that features a claw bath and colonial fixtures.

A commercial grade, stainless steel kitchen is positioned in the centre of the home with ample cupboard space, large gas cooker and range hood, dishwasher and servery through to the Lanai style, casual dining and entertaining area.

The fourth bedroom is currently utilized as a storage room that accommodates all the requisites for the three, fully self-contained boutique tents that have been providing first class bush accommodation to visiting tourists and locals alike for the past ten years.

Beyond the home and close by the inground pool is a purpose-built gazebo inclusive of serious gas BBQing, complete with industrial wok and stainless-steel fixtures.

Theres 50,000 litres of water storage tanks, a powered implement shed and a separate demountable home office that is large and diverse enough for a multitude of applications.
