Property Details for 88 Stoney Banks Rd, Mount Pleasant
Last Listing description (January 2019)
Stoneybank Settlement is a most unique and diverse property steeped in history and laden with opportunities. It has an old English Village atmosphere, is sited overlooking the lake and is best suited to multiple bed and breakfast cottages, hired functions and large families, whilst suiting just about all rural and recreational interests. This 250 acre property is centrally located between Birdwood and the Barossa Valley with the Murray River a little further to the east.
LAND: 100.8ha (250 acres). Identified by James Phillis in the 1840s as a location perfectly suited to farming pursuits due to its abundance of water, healthy pastures and its location, being on the stock route to Adelaide. The once much larger property now comprises a generous 250 acres of both scenic and productive, gently undulating countryside that will facilitate almost any recreational and rural pursuit, be it cattle, sheep, horses or others. The secluded, yet in no way isolated, nature is created by being the very last property on a quiet, no through country lane and that its setting is within its own picturesque valley. Its northern boundary fronts the main bitumen road and access can be had from here, however, its main entrance is from the aptly named Stoney Bank Lane. The propertys natural spring and contour provides a large catchment for the 3 dams, one being the red fin filled lake with jetty that supplies Stoney Bank with all its water requirements. Delightful gardens adorn the cottages and make this setting simply perfect for an accommodating stay, weddings, entertaining or simply to admire and appreciate its beauty and tranquillity.
MAIN RESIDENCE: The largest of the accommodation houses is utilised as the owners residence and reception area whilst providing further guest stay opportunities. The whitewashed stone walls and thick timbers help frame the character of the building and this theme is consistent with many of the structures on the property. Its adaptive floorplan allows for either two bedrooms or one bedroom with retreat. Its central sitting room contains an open place, as does the dining area. A slow combustion heater is sited in the reception area. Flagstone flooring is another character laden feature of this residence. The kitchen has undergone some recent upgrades that give modern facilities yet retains its country charm and character including its wood stove which is perfect for soups etc. for which the produce is likely to be sourced from the property. A full length verandah is on its southern side and has access doors to the building, whilst double doors provide entry from the patio and into the reception area.
LAKEVIEW COTTAGE: Originally the milking shed, the large flagstones that are prominent here are a glimpse into its past history. Its pug and pine composition features a pair of bedrooms separated by a delightful, bright, heritage themed bathroom along with a lovely sitting room with a most appropriate wrought iron heater for the cosy nights and a split system present for instant comfort. It embraces the views of the property and of course the lake. Relaxing under the front porch is an even better position to take in the outlook. Lakeview Cottage comfortably accommodates 4 people.
DOVECOTE COTTAGE: Classic design, typically English, 2 storey stone cottage superbly appointed with a restored bread oven and kitchenette. The upstairs bedroom links to the bathroom and external patio with the lower level living area having a most appropriate, cosy open fireplace. Perfectly suited to enjoy a relaxing glass of the regions finest within the charming surrounds. A drive through carport/shelter connects Dovecote Cottage to the reception area.
LAVENDER COTTAGE: Continuing in the olde worlde, English themes of the property, Lavender Cottage, as with Dovecote Cottage, provides 2 storeys with an upstairs bedroom with a downstairs living section with open fire place. Again with its own kitchen amenities, delightful bathroom and patio, it does however have its own unique charm.
IMPROVEMENTS:
RECREATION BARN: This building, with a mezzanine floor, today provides a wonderful structure converted into a play/recreation area. The facilities here include a pizza oven, indoor and outdoor entertaining and more to enable guests or the owner to host functions on a larger scale.
