About this home

The space

Bob's River House Story

Bob's River House holds a very special place in our family. Our Great Uncle Bob once farmed this land and had a simple shack on the sand hill here in the 1950s, so when we had the opportunity to purchase the property in January 2026, it felt like a meaningful way to reconnect with a piece of our family history. We’ve always loved the beauty of the Murray River and everything that makes this property feel so peaceful and unique, and we’re proud to now share a place that carries both wonderful memories and a strong sense of connection to the land.
