Description

Kestrel Downs is a contemporary style 3 bedroom coastal retreat nestled in secluded native vegetation on 40 hectares of rolling ancient dunes.

The spacious open plan living with floor to ceiling windows, reverse cycle air conditioning, a cosy slow combustion fire and well equipped, farm-size kitchen offer all the comforts of home.

Relax inside surrounded by an eclectic collection of ethnic and local artwork or find your spot on the 360 degree verandah contemplating tranquil waters or the serenity of the bushland.

With panoramic water views, the property is home to kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, bandicoots, possums and goannas, as well as numerous bird species, which can be seen bathing at the rustic birdbath set amongst the native mallee.

"truly the best accommodation on the island, words cannot describe the splendour of this location" S/K Assoc, Brighton

"the vibe of this place certainly speaks of many contented souls" A&E, Adelaide Hills

"...much comfort and interest in the interior of the house, with the space, the furniture and the decor...a blissfully perfect base..." J&E, Adelaide

Locality

Kestrel Downs is uniquely located on the narrow neck of the island enjoying a northern coastal outlook, yet only 2 km from the south coast. From the house gate the ocean to the north and south can be viewed. This hideaway looks out over a magnificent vista of waterways and islands and to the township of American River in the distance.

Exquisite Pennington Bay is just 2km from the front door. Experience the inspiration of its sweeping sandy beach backed by pristine dunes, its crashing surf or lazy summer breakers.

At low tide walk to the shores of Pelican Lagoon, a protected fish breeding sanctuary. Explore the unique estuarine environment with its community of aquatic birds and schools of stingrays splashing through the shallow waters.

Take a short drive to picturesque American River to eat out, recharge your supplies or launch your boat, or take a 10 minute trip to swim in the gentle waters of Island Beach.

Kestrel Downs is just 25 minutes from the Penneshaw ferry, 10 minutes from the local township, yet a thousand miles from anywhere...
