Entering through the front door, you are greeted by a feature Basket Range stone wall with heavy timber posts. Immediately your eye is drawn to the renovated, raked timber ceiling reaching a height of 5 metres. Ample light streams in via skylights and there is hardy, polished brick paved flooring in the living, dining and kitchen.

The large country kitchen offers all of the right ingredients to keep the master chef content. Featuring handcrafted Jarrah cupboards (recycled floorboards from the Wool Stores), ample bench and cupboard space, corner pantry, dishwasher, gas cook top and electric oven.

The living areas are divided into two spacious rooms. The separate lounge room offers split system air-conditioning and a bay window with Western Red Cedar windows plus gorgeous feature stone wall. The family room houses a lovely large Nectre slow combustion heater and large windows overlooking the rockery and farmland beyond. Walk through stackable French doors to the undercover patio pergola. Sit down and relax as you cast your eyes over some of the best countryside the Adelaide Hills has to offer.

The versatile floor plan can accommodate up to five bedrooms. The main bedroom offers large bay window, walk-in robe with feature timber door, and separate vanity and toilet. Bedrooms two, three and four are all of a generous size, and the fifth bedroom is on the second storey. This bedroom offers a split system air-conditioner and features a newly tiled balcony with glass balustrade, showcasing the uninterrupted 180 degree views over the stunning countryside.

The attractive main bathroom will delight the early riser. Alongside the shower alcove is the standalone stone bath, perfectly positioned to enjoy the view. The handcrafted Swan River Red Gum timber vanity cupboard features double basin with brass fittings. The second bathroom incorporates shower over bath, updated laundry, ample storage cupboards and a separate toilet.

The impressive hardwood timber staircase is highlighted by tiled flooring in the lobby area, which directly accesses the double carport.

The garden and grounds are a green thumb's dream, with mature trees and shrubs, lawn areas, garden beds with hundreds of bulbs, gabion retaining walls and a beautiful 'Sproutwell' greenhouse and raised vegetable beds. The double garage offers concrete floor, light and power, plus a lean-to section which is an undercover bar area alongside the paved fire pit.

Mains water is available from the neighbour when required through a sub meter (private agreement), however, the residence predominantly runs on rainwater, and there is a large grey water tank for the garden.

There is mains power, a 5KW solar system with two inverters, solar hot water (with electric backup) and NBN broadband network connection.

A truly idyllic location on a quiet country lane with rural farmland surrounds. Half acre residential allotments such as this are near impossible to find.
