Agent Cawthorne tells Nine that a price guide is difficult as there is no public sale of any property like this. The last time a property like this was sold was back in 1991.

The cozy river shack offers “two main rooms with living space” and a sizeable deck by the front door.

A lower-level deck is perfect for a spot of fishing or to launch kayaks or paddle boards.

Interiors offer rustic charm with floorboards in the kitchen and lime green walls.

As stated on the listing, the buyer will be entitled to a five-year interim Crown Lease, with the option to obtain a long-term lease of a maximum of 50 years after conditions are met.

According to the Department for Environment and Water, a Crown Lease is issued to those occupying a specific area of Crown Land.

Donovans is a tiny town nestled amongst the banks of the Glenelg River, approximately 403km south-east of Adelaide.

It has a population of just 82, offering an idyllic setting away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
