Description: An extraordinary level of care, craftsmanship and creativity has culminated in an incredibly unique and special property here at Pelican Lagoon. Aptly named 'Boomerbank', the property is sited on a manageable allotment of approximately 1.5 hectares and is truly a perfect gem for sea change seekers, wanting a space to create, work and live. Consisting of an extensive studio/gallery, two-bedroom cottage, large character garage and meandering walkways to enjoy the pretty gardens, it's a fabulous property to explore. Manageable allotments of this size, in this location are particularly hard to come by. It's ideal for someone wanting to enjoy a peaceful rural lifestyle on Kangaroo Island and a rare opportunity to combine creative work and country life in one inspiring place. The studio and workshop has doubled as a gallery and played host to a number of exhibitions and artists in the past. The studios provide abundant natural light, high ceilings and flexible spaces ideal for painting, sculpture, ceramics, writing, music, workshops and more. Whilst this enormous space could lend itself to a range of pursuits, you may also consider a conversion to guest accommodation (subject to planning consents). The lower level consists of a workshop to tinker and formal entrance to entertain guests by the fire. Follow the timber stairs to the upper level and a vast space awaits you with two balconies to take in the view of the surrounding rural vistas and lagoon. It is such an inspiring space to be present and enjoy. Built in approximately 1900 by the Potter brothers, the cottage has undergone significant restoration, retaining its wonderful character and warmth. It's comfortable accommodation with rustic charms. The symmetrical cottage, originally of four main rooms, has been opened up into a combined kitchen, living and dining area with the beautiful picture windows providing a glimpse to the front gardens. A lovely wood combustion fire set within the original fireplace adds ambience and an additional new split system air conditioner provides convenient, efficient heating and cooling. Beyond the thick stone hallway walls are two bedrooms and a separate laundry and bathroom with walk-in shower. Meticulous details abound with hand painted fish on the walls and the delightful hand blown glass ornaments from fellow artist Bernard Stoner adorning the lighting pull cords. The front verandah is a wonderful spot to sit and take in the abundant birdlife and sprawling gardens. Carefully selected native and endemic drought tolerant vegetation has been planted over 15 years with attention to habitat shelter from coastal elements and low maintenance. Co-exist with abundant birdlife and native creatures. Including a thriving community of pigmy possums. The property is protected by a 'kangaroo proof' fence around the perimeter. When it's time to shelter from the afternoon sun the gazebo off the rear patio is the place to be. With ample rainwater storage there's also an enclosed vegetable patch and fabulous two car garage and storage area. Whilst the infrastructure of the garage and studio is relatively new, our Vendor's creativity and desire to repurpose materials delivers aged patinas and an abundance of personality at every turn. Located just 20 minutes from the ferry port and essential supplies in Penneshaw, and a few minutes drive to either Island Beach or Pennington Bay, experiencing the wonders of Kangaroo Island is a breeze. Fancy freshly shucked oysters straight from the farm? You'll find them at American River just a ten minute drive away. Such an incredibly unique offering and opportunity for one very lucky buyer.
