LAND: 4004m2 (1 acre). This rare sized allotment is just enough room to give you plenty of space, without the burden of unnecessary upkeep. Located on the edge of the township, enjoy the rural outlook while only a step or two from the township facilities. The hub of this farming district includes a general store, area school, sporting facilities, garage, 2 churches and hotel. Cambrai is central to the Barossa Valley, Murray River Districts and Birdwood. The grounds have been developed and feature rock lined garden beds, dripper and pop-up irrigation system, mature shrubs and trees, including Jacarandas for beauty and Quondongs for a bit of income on the side. There is a strong rose influence and two arbours will form a delightful canopy and garden feature. The allotment has two street frontages, making for easy accessibility and ample off street parking.

RESIDENCE: Originally the home was the “private house” belonging to the Publican, this approximately 136 year old grand stone home embraces all the character of its time, whilst being in very good condition. The carriage lighting, which rests beneath the bull nose verandah is a notable feature of the era when this sandstone home, with painted quoins and window surrounds, was built. Entering the home, the leadlight inserts at the front door are delightful and from here a traditional wide corridor runs the full length of the original home and features attractive architraves under the 12’ ceilings. The 1880’s 4 bedroom home has had an extension completed to create a family living environment with multiple living areas and adaptable layout, as all rooms are of a generous size. The thick stone walls and high ceilings enable a constant comfortable temperature in mid summer. Economic quality living standards are enhanced by the recently installed 45kw S.M.A. solar system connected to the grid. The formal lounge is warmed by a slow combustion heater, which has been recessed into the fireplace and has a feature timber mantle. One of the external entry points is in this room. Many of these entry points are French doors, as is the one in the dining area. This room, along with the family room, which is separated by a 6 panel bi-fold door, is the extension. This cleverly thought out addition can create two rooms or for entertaining a large crowd in one big area. The timber kitchen with slate floor, has enough room for dining in and is equipped with both pot belly wood stove and modern ceramic cook-top, built in oven, and dishwasher. More cupboards are on hand in the galley style section, which access the butlers pantry and the steeped in history wine cellar below. The main bedroom (currently used as a media/exercise room has a gorgeous ornate Blackwood open fireplace. A perfect place to put a log on the fire, pour a glass of red and read a good book. The second and third bedrooms are doubles and have built in fireplaces, while the fourth, which is also a generous size, has a built in robe, as do bedrooms two and three. The bathroom has been updated and includes a dressing area, built in linen closet, heritage tile work, pedestal vanity and separate toilet. This classic stone home maintains its identity, whilst having upgraded features including Holland blinds, new wiring and a sound system connected through the home.

IMPROVEMENTS: The pergola at the rear of the home has a coverage of vine, which creates a shady environment. The pergola, with new laserlite roofing near the pool, is the place to be whatever the weather, as the pool or spa are on hand. The in-ground concrete pool has a slate border and solar blanket, while the fibreglass spa with cover is undercover and seats 6 people. A carport and workshop area is under a gabled roof structure with trellis work, while the 24’ x 20’ shed has concrete floor and three phase power. Approximately 12000 gallons of rainwater storage supports the mains water supply. A 5kw solar electric system contributes to the energy efficiency of the house. There is also a wood shed close by.
