The current median house price for the combined capital cities is $1,155,683, Domain’ data shows.

The astonishing home on the tide manages to pack in more than an average property, including a “swim deck”.

The buyer will acquire not just the houseboat, but also a significant parcel of land, in a community-minded area where a shared vegetable garden and eggs from local chickens provide a farm-to-fork manner of living.

Houseboats are not common Domain. However, in major international cities including London, houseboat listings are not out of the ordinary.

The Lyrup dwelling, for sale via Ray White Riverland, is billed a “beautifully renovated rustic houseboat”, with an exclusive moorning on a stretch of the river about three hours north east of Adelaide.

The boat has two bedrooms, vast and shaded decking, a study, meals zone and lounge room, and an off-grid set up, powered by solar.

The home is a front-row seat to the changing tide in an iconic part of SA. The package includes 10.778 hectares with private Murray frontage.

Agents Darrin Trandafil and Justice Ebert are handling the listing.
