From its idyllic privacy, heated pool and studio escape to the charming c1900s guest cottage known as 'Crickle Knoll,' it forms a meticulous 3.6-acre botanical oasis, sketched, extended, and planted to perfection.
Yet it's the main dwelling, built in 1976 by 60-year-old Catherina van der Linden, our oldest-ever Australian (living to 111), that suggests these uplifting surrounds were the elixir to her longevity.
And strolling them ourselves, there's little doubt.
Today, its present owners have transformed the 3-bedroom entertainer's north-facing gardens, redesigned the kitchen, two bathrooms, and extended into its gorgeous elevation, creating a phenomenal backdrop for the garden-lover or hobby farmer.
The home's fresh look now lives for garden views and seamless kitchen connection with a sweeping stone-topped island and quality Smeg appliances, atop polished hardwood timber floors.
You can gaze all day at the gardens via double-glazed sliders and French doors, but the best experience is out there amongst the camellias, the prolific fruit orchard and vegie beds, and the long list of water-wise natives and tall gums, home to resident koalas.
Bedroom serenity combines new carpets, external French doors, a tranquil office, and a master suite led by a walk-through robe transition to the fully tiled ensuite's rain shower and floating vanity.
Friends keen to stay? Then down to 'Crickle Knoll' they'll go, past the arena and pool for the property's legacy; its old internal fireplaces becoming the outdoor living feature as new oak floors blanket the whisper-quiet living room, bedroom and ensuite.
It could even host paying guests, with access to dual street frontages and three gateways.
So why give the kids a Royal Adelaide Show education when you can do it here with the chicken coop, tree swings, wood-chopping practice, and roaming room for the sheep or pony on the most enriching hills property...
A quick dash to the Crafers Park N Ride, The Crafers Hotel, and The Tollgate in around 12 minutes, this is modern chic and historic charm in one incredible combination.
