20 Ostigh Road

Balhannah SA 5242

With just 2 owners over its almost 80-year lifetime, it was the homestead of the original 40-acre parcel owned by first owners the Berra family, who were one of the first 2 families in this street along with the street's namesake family the Ostighs.

The deep-set discovery boasts preserved Carey Gully stone, cooling return verandahs, and a surprising rise to craftsman-built, poolside calm behind patinaed screens.

And not a soul will know you're about to take a warm dip unless they too follow the secret path to the salt chlorinated, solar heated pool, borrowing nature from all sides.

French doors are pivotal to the country flow of the home that begins with an indulgent parents' wing taking time out in a luxe Travertine-tiled ensuite, bathed in picture window sunlight.

Relaxed sophistication chimes in via rich polished jarrah floors, lofty ceilings, huge double bedrooms, billiard room versatility, and a naturally ventilated junction point preparing you for the expansive, garden-infused finale.

A lifestyle wing that mingles with the modern country kitchen, chills ahead of the feature stone fireplace, and huddles on a pair of dreamy window seats where gardens grab every chance to greet your gaze.

Gardens that give their all for stunning alfresco gatherings well worth unfolding the linen and trestle tables for long lunches while the kids hightail it to the pool or the dedicated pool room.

Wander along the fenced creek that runs all year long, or pick from the prolific fruit trees including figs, quinces, almonds, mandarin, Meyer lemon, and many original apple and plum trees as you savour the birdlife, wildlife, rolling lawns, and welcome summer shade.

With a 3-phase powered 3-bay garage for the big toys, an under main roof carport for the SUV, a bore for irrigation, and serenity beyond measure, such world-away seclusion is virtually next door to prestigious Mt. George, Uraidla's charming town centre, distilleries, cellar doors, and private school bus routes.

You can't beat the stillness, nor this charming farmhouse blessing in a 3-acre disguise.
