Holiday house

The house is conveniently situated in the heart of township near a historic pub,local shops and a playground.
It is a perfect touring base. A classic river country is only a short car or boat trip away with lagoons, wetlands and a backdrop of vineyards and grazing land.

Locality

Blanchetown is situated on the river Murray approx. 130 km north-east of Adelaide, within easy reach of the Riverland and the Barossa Valley. The uncrowded waterways, sheltered river bends and sandy banks are popular with water-skiers in the summer months.
Winter brings milder climates & breathtaking sunsets against the backdrop of the river cliffs.
Blanchetown is where the Murray River’s lock and weir water flow management system starts.
The old bridge in the town gives an excellent view of Lock 1 and flying above are hundreds of hungry pelicans that love to feed on the schools of fish near the spillway.
Although Blanchetown’s towering cliffs are famous for the grand views of their changing colours, closer inspection reveals fossilised treasures such as starfish, shells and fish.
A wonderland for birdwatching not only for the experts.

Enjoy a campfire (fire ban season to be observed).
9m X 7m X 2.7m Garage should accomodate most boats.

Relax and Enjoy
First turn left past the bridge takes you to a lawn area adjacent to river bank with several public shelters, barbacue facilities, toilets and kiosk. It is an ideal location for picnics, boating, fishing or swimming the whole family can enjoy.

Property

Large home on a 1/2 Acre Block adjacent to a reserve and overlooking the river Murray.
