Escape to the European countryside with an evocative lifestyle on the brink of the eastern suburbs…
Imagine returning home each day to a secret valley just 15-20 minutes from the CBD that feels like you could be in the French or Italian countryside.
Welcome to Montacute, nestled in the foothills only steps from the eastern suburbs and flanked by Black Hill and Morialta Conservation parks, and in many senses closer to the City of Campbelltown than the Adelaide Hills. Travel home via Payneham and Montacute roads rather than the freeway and secure the Hills lifestyle with prime eastern suburbs access.
Whether or not a Hills property was on the agenda, this exceptional retreat presents with stimulating appeal for the family, retiree, green thumb, or even a small commercial operator. Rich in value and offering a variety of ways to make an income, the investment is in so much more than just lifestyle.
THE VALLEY
Set on 5.74 hectares, this property feels like coming home to nature. The entire valley is farmed with organic principles, crisp, clean air, and you have your own water source - spring water pumped from your own aquifer. This is rare - even for the hills.
Designed for full interactions with wildlife, the valley is home to koalas, kangaroos and echidnas, and dream-like birdsong. The valley is home to a pair of eagles and regularly hosts black and white cockatoos, wrens, finches, and more.
Experience incredible nightly starlight, encouraging you to invite friends over to dine alfresco under the next full moon, and experience the spectacular beauty of the four seasons changing the colours and shape of the valley - especially autumn.
The vendors have created two rainforests here prime for yoga and meditation, while also designing an incredible edible terraced garden and ecosystem founded on the principles of permaculture that requires minimal watering, interspersed with tiered lawns that allow you to take in the best of the landscape.
ARCHITECTURAL RESIDENCE
Purchased by our vendors in the late 90’s, a cutting-edge architectural renovation by Libby Warwick (Salt Studio) of the original stone cottage took place over three years to produce a home where quality runs foundation deep.
