Pretty As A Picture
2,185 m2 - Beautiful half acre of English style gardens with mature trees, evergreens and colourful plants. Very neat, tidy and pleasingly roomy home in very good condition. With shady verandahs, plenty of shedding and water, this little gem is a delightful hills acquisition.
LAND
2,185 m2 (over half acre). Beautiful mature gardens located in one of the most scenic areas of the Adelaide Hills where the climate is temperate and the soil fertile. These lush gardens have been created and enjoyed over many years and now present an opportunity for new owners to appreciate. The wide driveway has, on one side, a cluster of gorgeous shade trees that offer an environment for the camellias, hydrangeas and other plants to thrive, while dense evergreens and another birch tree, on the other side, help screen the shedding area. There are grassed sections around the home to the rear gardens where the trees of note include a liquidambar and variegated pittosporum. The varieties of roses, many of which are beautifully scented, will help ensure that there are fresh flowers on the table. The colour and combination of deciduous trees, ground covers, ferns, evergreens and flowering plants is delightful and set against the backdrop of productive farmland. Naturally, as all hills properties should have, there is the mandatory lemon tree, large gums from which to hang the swing and, for the real sense of hills living, a large enclosure which is ideal for the pet alpaca or goat.
RESIDENCE
Constructed in 1983, this home is in terrific condition and, with recent fresh paintwork, is ready to be occupied. There are not too many cooler or more relaxing spots in summer than under the shade of the full length, lined, front verandah where the birdlife can be viewed, or the rear of the home which has a timber deck under the verandah. Attached to the side of the home is another timber deck which has a wooden balustrade. Inside, the roomy lounge includes a split system air conditioning system, adjoins the meals area and, in turn, the kitchen with its electric cooker, built-in pantry and good amount of bench and cupboard space. Dining, reading the paper or perhaps craftwork are best done in the sunroom which overlooks the rear gardens and can be entered from both the side and rear decks. As the home has only two bedrooms, this has enabled the main bedroom to be generous in size and some of the furnishings can be included. The bathroom has undergone some upgrades, the toilet is separate and the laundry has enough room for the chest freezer and storage cupboards.
IMPROVEMENTS
A single, free standing shed is 20 feet in length, has a panel lift door and a concrete floor. A larger structure is the 60 foot x 20 foot implement shed, which is easily accessed. Water is stored in two tanks, the first being a 15,000 gallon concrete structure, the other a 3,000 gallon fibreglass tank. And what would a hills country property be without the old outside toilet?
