A rural sanctuary built on the crest of a hill and overlooking a picturesque lagoon has hit the Top End market minutes from a well-known outback pub.

The 90ha property at 205 Dorat Rd, Adelaide River, is just five minutes from the Adelaide River Inn and the local township.

On the market with a price guide of $1.5m, the block comes with a four-bedroom home, swimming pool, paddocks and tropical landscaping.

Selling agent Ryan Rowsell, of Real Estate Central, said the property felt like it was “a million miles away” while still being close to the conveniences of Adelaide River.

Plus the cold beer on tap at the .303 Bar was just down the hill.

“The home is perched high up on the hill and you get these absolutely beautiful views of the surrounding landscape and sunsets,” Mr Rowsell said.

“Sitting on the balcony in the afternoon with a beer in hand is just unreal.

“It’s peaceful, it’s tranquil and there’s amazing wildlife and birdlife about.”

Mr Rowsell the property was an amazing opportunity for the right person to make it their own.

“You’ve already got the nice, big home, the pool and the established gardens,” he said.

“The lifestyle it presents is pretty incredible.”

The well-maintained home is spacious with a big wraparound balcony looking out over the paddocks and the lagoon with flowering lilies.

The open plan living, dining and kitchen area has timber-look floors and doors opening to the balcony.

The fully fenced property comes paddocks for horses and livestock, a bore, solar power, rainwater tanks and a workshop area under the home.
