FEATURES AND ASPECTS OF THE PROPERTY INCLUDE:
LAND:
This large parcel of land (17547m2 or just over 4 acres) is bordered by the River Torrens and its majestic gums. With the driveway lined by graceful trees escorting you to your front door, the welcome home is wonderful. The grounds are planted with a mixture of deciduous and native trees, hedges, flowering shrubs and roses just to add to an already attractive property. This area of the Adelaide Hills has some of the most picturesque scenery around and this is no exception, a wonderful area to let children frolic in the grass or explore the banks of the river for fish and yabbies. Entertain your guests with a picnic rug and some of the delights of what this region offers. Just the land alone is a sound investment because of its approved sub-division development.
RESIDENCE:
Originally a solid bluestone barn, this homestead has undergone extensive restoration and extensions during a 5-year period from 1990-1995. High standards and finishes are evident throughout. Bluestone which was originally quarried in the Birdwood area has been seamlessly added to the original structure to build this stately home. The property has previously been operated as a luxury bed and breakfast and still could be today. As you enter the home you can see and feel the warmth calling you in. The bluestone and polished timbers gently embrace you from the first step onwards. The enticing glow from the uniquely designed North-facing floor to ceiling windows which overlook the grounds draws you towards the masterfully hand-crafted kitchen. From the pressed iron surrounds to the massive pine supports, the heart of the household gives an inspiring outlook to the rest of this magic home. The modern gas cooktop can serve an intimate dinner for two or a masterchef creation for guests and family that can be served in the formal dining room. Its stained glass french doors leading off from the kitchen create an atmosphere of wonderful meals and entertaining conversations. The lower levels
offer still more with a fully-carpeted drawing room with exposed beam ceilings, just the place to retreat and enjoy good company. A den has a multitude of uses just right for the library/study or, if really need be, a 6th bedroom. The lower level bedrooms both have their own ensuite. Nothing has been spared when designing this massive restoration. A separate laundry and large walk-in pantry have also been included. Let's explore the upper levels now. As you ascend the stairs the view to the River Torrens just gets better. There's a quaint area to enjoy a good book as the sun warms you through the windows, or you could open the balcony door and hear the cacophony of birdlife that inhabits the area. The master bedroom truly gives the feeling that you're Lord of the Manor. With its own walk-in robe ensuite and opulent separate clawed bath you are master of all you see. Bedrooms 2 and 3 both share a 2-way bathroom and are delightfully appointed. Last but not least the family room is large with wall to wall carpets and raked ceilings. This would hold the biggest family and still have room for more.
IMPROVEMENTS:
A double garage under the main roof keeps cars or boat away from the harsh elements. A 22,000 gallon concrete rainwater tank supplies clean water, lessening the burden on our fragile river system. There is also an unequipped bore.
