Last Listing description (March 2019)
The Adelaide Hills best rural lifestyle properties are located away from main roads. They are quiet with gently rolling hills, refreshing views, no neighbours and stunning gardens with lots of water.
Nabranga' has all of these attributes and many more. A lovely long driveway leads you through a private pine forest and semi-formal garden before parking centrally between an appealing homestead, a significant complex known as The Studio' and good shedding.
The homestead began as on old stone farm house around 130 years ago and has been meticulously maintained over the years. In the 1980's there were significant renovations including a large extension and huge underground cellar that remains as dry as a bone all year round. In more recent times ducted heating and cooling have been added along with a 26-panel, 4.9kW Solar System that returns an impressive and transferrable 54 cent tariff rate.
The floor plan throughout the homestead is spacious and flexible and would accommodate any sized family. With original thick stone walls and high ceilings along with picture windows everywhere you look, the homestead will appeal to those who value personal space and lots of it.
The garden shares the same semiformal and spacious feel as the homestead. Bursting with breathtaking views, sprawling lawns and established deciduous trees the current owners have truly created an environment to be proud of. Spread over three acres the garden has an abundant bore water supply courtesy of several reticulated automatic watering systems. From semi-formal areas with seating nooks to orchards and several kitchen gardens, everything here is irrigated, established & happy.
Bore water is plumbed throughout the entire property including water points in each of the three paddocks along with 40 irrigated Walnut trees. The bore's power cable and bore pump were updated in early 2018 and the system is in exceptional condition. Secured by a significant water allocation for stock and domestic purposes the water licence would also benefit those with market garden or viticultural aspirations. However, just in case the bore water isn't enough there are 3 dams on the property, one of them even has an island and zip line. As with all properties of this type a detailed water map will be provided to the purchaser upon settlement.
The Shedding on the property is extensive allowing space for farming implements, storage and engineering. The largest shed on Narangba' is a lined studio and is fit for a king. This complex has impressive self-contained facilities, wonderful heating and cooling attributes and lots of space. Once used as a showroom The Studio' is a warm and inviting space that must be seen first-hand to truly appreciate its welcoming features.
A Pub has been built in one of the galvanised iron sheds next to The Studio' and certainly has the look and feel of a fun, rustic man cave or teenager retreat. There is also a large implement shed for high span vehicles and under the same roof there is a large workshop where there is power and a concrete floor. Alongside the implement shed there is a chook shed and a small woodshed and there are many functional nooks suitable for storage and extra parking.
A self-sustainable and productive family lifestyle property suitable for any horticultural or livestock pursuits Nabranga' is in exceptional condition and would suit one or two families. An extensive list of features has been provided below.
