Country Living

When asked what the best part of relocating from the city to this slice of heaven in the Adelaide Hills there was no hesitation in the owner's response…. "We feel like we're living in a National Park"!<br/><br/>The 60 plus acre block was purchased at the end of the 1990's and established slowly over the next few years until their quality-built home was completed by Oakford homes in 2007. As you approach the well-maintained driveway, you catch a glimpse of the roofline of the homestead - that's all. It's been carefully positioned to take in the most glorious of views yet not be exposed to the blustery winds that are often associated with distant outlooks.<br/><br/>There's ample flat ground around the home with irrigated lawns and gardens and easy parking for family and friends. The home has been designed to make the most of the outstanding views with north south orientation and an abundance of windows to let in the natural light. Configured with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 living rooms and a dining room which could easily become a 4th bedroom or home office - You might need to position your workspace to face the wall - Im warning you, the views are mesmerising!<br/><br/>The 2.7m ceilings enhance the spacious feel while the ducted air conditioning keeps the climate under control. Timber floors are comfortable under foot and look fabulous. There's no shortage of firewood on the property for the slow combustion heater that ticks over quietly in the living room keeping the interior warm and cosy. The covered pergola faces North - did I mention the views? The owner enjoys nothing more than breakfasting on the east facing deck. The wrens are so tame, they sit on his knee waiting for crumbs. An outdoor Sauna will also be included in the sale. The near new shed/workshop is powered and home to the 10 kw solar panels that support the battery system. There's approximately 86,000 litres of rainwater storage together with a holding tank for the dam water used for irrigation and fire protection. Running costs are kept to a bare minimum.<br/><br/>The land is predominantly used for grazing. It suits sheep, cattle or alpacas. All fencing is new. Divided up into 3 main paddocks. Its easily navigatable on foot, by 4wd or quad. Its undulating and dotted with magnificent gums and a small amount of natural bush attracting kangaroos, koalas, echidnas and many types of native birds. There are 2 access points along the road frontage.<br/><br/>If you're seeking a peaceful and serene location you will search long and hard to find a comparison. The owners can offer a 3 month settlement to the fortunate new owners. Please call me if you think you've finally found your forever home.
