Last Listing description (April 2014)
PERIOD ELEGANCE SET IN 2.174 HECTARES (5.37 ACRES) OF PEACEFUL NATIVE BEAUTY.
Picture coming down your own private driveway, through a peaceful setting of native woodland where spotting kangaroos and koalas is commonplace and arriving home to this superb family estate, all within a half hour drive from the city. Breathe in the crisp, fresh air as you step out of your car and welcome yourself to the place you call home.
This is Adelaide Hills living at its most desirable, with schools and shopping districts within easy reach. Built on 5.37 acres of tranquil property, the main house is of very generous proportion and provides a spacious family environment that many only dream of.
Access is through one of two entrances, one leading into a formal foyer and the other to a large anteroom/dining area, each with protective porches and double doors. Walking from room to room you will be impressed with the high ceilings and polished Queensland brush box flooring. The floor plan permits great flexibility, providing a canvas that allows for a high degree of formality, or a more relaxed country theme. This property can truly be whatever your heart desires.
Space will never be an issue here. Boasting abundant accommodation, the house includes four large bedrooms, a Gallery (or fifth bedroom), two sparkling bathrooms and an enormous light filled living room with quality six-fold doors that open to a spectacular large country style kitchen, complete with huge walk-in pantry and modern appliances. The main bedroom has its own ensuite and built in robes and lies adjacent to a spacious retreat or study, providing a perfect sanctuary for parents.
Perhaps one of the outstanding features is the self contained Studio/Guesthouse that lies on the opposite side of the landscaped visitors car park, twenty five meters from the main house. This space provides a world of possibilities, ideal for home workspace or further accommodation. Comprising a large bedroom, living/dining room, kitchen and bathroom, with charming pot belly stove, this space is fantastic for older children, students, or extended family. A truly rare and highly desirable feature for an already ideal property.
Living in this naturally beautiful part of the world you will be pleased to be a part of an eco-friendly movement, where Natural Spring Water is abundant and feeds a 50,000 litre tank and a 70,000 litre rainwater tank stands complete with pump and regulator. Solar panels are also installed, resulting in smaller energy bills and a smaller global footprint.
