Century Spanning Freestone Homestead Merits a Standing Ovation!

Perfectly preserved in its symmetrical cottage style, surrounded by 25 gorgeous acres, this circa 1857 home captures character at its most elegant. Circled far & wide by farmlands & only the sound of nature, bask in the lifestyle that Wistow/Red Creek offers.

With a stunning 3-bedroom Freestone home headlining the property accompanied by a Shearing Shed/Studio Conversion & Office (with Internet connection), there is a room for the entire family or potential for a city retreat. Sweeping acres surround with 3 main paddocks perfectly usable for cropping, running livestock & outdoor sports, the land is organically self-sufficient with over 100,000 Litres of rainwater accessible.

Like most homes of its era - from the moment the front door opens you are invited in with warmth & comfort. Framed in soaring ceilings, polished Baltic Pine flooring throughout & lavish modern interiors have kept the character of this home alive. The hallway offers a direct line of sight to the light-filled rear dining area, & a feeling of freedom is duly matched by the formal lounge & master bedroom it divides along the way.

By any standard; each bedroom is unique in design & maintained in pristine condition. With functional fireplaces, polished floors & double-sized rooms, the original home will quench your thirst for much-needed space & style.

Adding 21st-century functionality, the kitchen has been updated to please all who enjoy preparing a meal with stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, ample storage & bench space.

Experience the height of those widespread improvements within the spacious main bathroom boasting a classic claw foot style bath & elegantly finished timber top basin. Adding ducted reverse-cycle A/C & slow combustion fireplace, you are equipped for all seasonal weather.
The features continue to impress when stepping outside of this modernized gem, featuring a fully fenced & sandstone paved 15m x 3m in-ground lap pool that is solar heated. In addition, a separate expansive shed & original 'Stone coach house' sits on the property with an opportunity to develop.
An opportunity like this does not present itself everyday. True vintage character matched with modern up-keeps & beautiful land, be sure to inspect! And.... just when you thought it stopped, the property was the setting for the 1991 movie "HAMMERS OVER THE ANVIL" starring Russell Crowe, Charlotte Rampling and Frankie J Holden! Only 45 minutes to the CBD & 10 minutess to Mount Barker, adopt a lifestyle that others only dream of.
