Description of the home we are offering for exchange
My home is an 1890’s villa in the beautiful country township of Strathalbyn. Strathalbyn is 50 kilometres from Adelaide and will take about 50 minutes driving time. There are buses that connect Strathalbyn and Adelaide. The population is approximately 5,000 people.
I have a beach house at Normanville, South Australia, also listed for exchange.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Strathalbyn is known as an ‘antiques’ town as there are quite a few antique shops. It has also often been referred to as the prettiest town in South Australia. There is a vibrant cafe scene with many to choose from. It is close to popular seaside townships popular with travellers and locals alike (half an hour), the beautiful Adelaide Hills with its charming little towns, and several wine grape growing areas including the Langhorne Creek winery region (10 mins drive) and the Southern Vales (McLaren Vale). Quite a few of the wineries have wonderful eating areas with excellent menus, mostly with local produce and wine. It is surrounded by mostly grazing and broadacre farming. For car fanatics, The Bend, a globally recognised new racetrack is about an hour's drive from Strathalbyn.
The house is situated within 5 minutes walk of the high street and the antique shops and cafes. Also within walking distance are the library, supermarket and swimming pool (in summer). There are extensive walking trails through the township. The house has been recently fully renovated with all modern conveniences.
