An equestrian property with many possibilities
(Don't forget to view our Video - refer to VIDEO icon)
Set deep beyond roadside and fringed by the riverbank, this idyllic dual home 'beauty' is truly one of Oakbank's best kept secrets. Towering poplar trees rest by the driveway, bundles of lawn sweep through the grounds and the thunder of hooves can be heard in the distance as the charm of this horse yielding haven is quick to unravel.
Meticulously maintained under existing ownership for almost 25 years, some 8.08 acres of unspoiled character has been beautifully extended to create a playground for the horse enthusiast and a magnificent country retreat for the growing family.
Take a moment to appreciate all that is on offer here before moving inside. Equestrian ready, a private dressage arena falls to the southern side of the allotment creating a place of seclusion for horse and rider to strut.
Flanked with willows, and bordered by rich flat land this space is divine for the frolicking pony or curious pet.
A cleverly positioned twin stable area rests just rear of the main living sector where a towering treescape works perfectly to ease the pinch of the afternoon sun. Proximity to holding yards, a hayshed and 4 watered paddocks ensures effortless handling and continues the flow of this well designed outfit.
The undisputed external feature of the riverside landscape is the gracious reserve to the side of the homes. Aptly named 'the park', this fabulous tree clad abode bridges the master residence with the private arena and generates an incredible feeling of peace.
Spilling with colour and thriving with wildlife, a magnificent golden elm stamps the heart of the park, with a wide stretching canopy boasting the perfect summer retreat.
One of a pair, A 3 bedroom master residence marks the hub of the property and begins the internal tour.
With rich timber windows splashing the front, rustic French doors swinging within and a peek at the landscape from every direction, the layout works well to draw nature inside.
Outfitted with charm, a quaint timber kitchen centres the floor plan, a feature gas log fire combats the elements and a versatile living plan branches throughout.
Completing the pair, a character cottage rests further afield sitting beautifully poised amongst tree studded greens.
With thick red gum pillars gracing the walls, a wide open fireplace churning inside and a warm personality all of its own, this 1 bedroom classic has guest house appeal. Standing strong since 1880, beautifully appointed with a personal bathroom and dripping with wisteria from pillar to post, this sweet timber haven has a special appeal.
Feature abound, this rural beauty does not miss a beat with a host of property inclusions worthy of mention.
An abundance of rainwater storage, mains water, a property bore (unequipped), large winding gardens, multiple shedding sectors, workshop space, 3.5kw solar panels, 3 phase power, 2 stables, 8.08 acres of flat horse country and a magical equine lifestyle, all unfolding from the brim of the mighty Onkaparinga River.
One would be hard pressed to match this unique combination of real estate within the Adelaide Hills.
Inspection is imperative.
