Well, spring has almost sprung, and this time of year typically sees plenty of top properties coming onto the market for sale and auction. Here’s a selection of options that will go under the hammer in northern Adelaide over the next few weeks:

First up is something a little different. Here’s a great opportunity to escape from the rat race with plenty of room to move, but still be within a short drive of metropolitan Adelaide. To be auctioned at 2:00pm, Friday 3rd September 2010, 523 & 524 Wasley Road, Two Wells is situated just a few minutes to the north of the Two Wells township and comprises a lovely 4 bedroom home and sheds on over 79 hectares.

On Saturday, 4th September 2010 at 11:30am, Ray White Mawson Lakes are presenting 26 Oleander Drive, Parafield Gardens for auction. This is a spacious property with a rumpus room, a beautiful kitchen and a great location that is close to Mawson Lakes and Technology Park.

A spectacular property on over 1400 square meters, 97 Stanford Road in Salisbury Heights will be presented by Ray White Semaphore for auction at 11:30am on Sunday 12th September 2010. Featuring four double bedrooms and an expansive living area, there is ample space for the growing family here.

In Paralowie, 26 Fairbanks Drive will go under the hammer on Thursday 16th September 2010 at midday. Presented by Casserly & Mitchell Real Estate, this property has plenty of space for the large family and is close to open reserves and schools.

A spectacular federation style four bedroom home on over 800 square meters will be auctioned in a beautiful Golden Grove setting at 11:00am on Saturday 18th September 2010. Situated at 3 Unique Court, Golden Grove, this property certainly is unique and is sure to attract a crowd on auction day.

Then at midday on Saturday 18th September 2010, Ray White Paralowie are presenting a great opportunity for the first home buyer to secure a great property at auction. Unit 17, 14 Gretel Cres, Paralowie is a good size three bedroom unit, close to the Little Para River trails and Hollywood Plaza.

Also at midday on Saturday 18th September 2010, Casserly & Mitchell Real Estate will present another first home buyer opportunity – a tidy little two bedroom semi-detatched maisonette at 18 Mantissa Road, Salisbury North. A neat property with a secure yard, this could be a great starter home or an affordable investment.

Finally, if you’re looking to build an affordable first home or investment, then this block of land could be for you. LJ Hooker Golden Grove will put this battleaxe block on Bedchester Road, Elizabeth North under the hammer on Saturday 25th September 2010 at 10:30am.

Happy bidding folks!

With autumn starting to set in, today felt like a great day to dust off the old mountain bike and to go for a nice long ride up the Little Para Trails. Starting in my home suburb of Paralowie, I ventured to the western edge to get on the trail at Port Wakefield Road. The fresh breeze and a few spots of rain made the ride all the more pleasant – nothing like the smell of wet eucalyptus. There was even a bit of water in the river after the rain we’ve had over the last few days.

I’ve recently purchased a Flip Ultra digital video camera, and I also got myself a cheap bicycle mount on ebay so a ride on the trail would be a great chance to see how well it performs before taking the bike into the hills. Unfortunately, it performed terribly – the camera was good but the mount didn’t support it very well, and after about 20 minutes, the whole thing fell apart! A Flip Mino might have been better as it is a bit smaller and lighter. The video footage goes as far as the golf course near the northern edge of Paralowie, but I continued cycling to the Old Spot Hotel on Main North Road because it was so pleasant.

Here’s some of the video. If you can get past the shaking from the lousy mount, you’ll see that the Para ride is beautiful, especially in this fresh weather. Enjoy!
