This simply stunning small acreage property has been lovingly and impressively created by the current owners. From the moment you start making your way up the driveway, you can immediately appreciate that this place is special.
The bitumen driveway takes you over a winter creek at the front of the property. It then meanders between the front paddocks, flows past and also gives direct access into a 6m x 6m powered (3 phase) garage/workshop. It continues around established gardens with a number of mature trees that not only look amazing, they provide a lovely natural screen and make the home incredibly private. The driveway leads to plenty of undercover parking options underneath the home that offers high clearance access making it ideal for caravan and/or boat storage and room for multiple vehicles. The use of Gabion retaining walls with natural stone in this area is an eye-catching feature.
The custom designed home was built in 2007 and offers a spacious floor plan that could work for a range of different buyers. As you head up the stairs to the decking area that connects to the balcony that stretches the entire length of the home, you cant help but look around to take in the breath-taking natural views on offer. These views can be enjoyed and appreciated from most areas of the home through large picture windows and glass sliding doors that frame stunning outlooks.
The spectacular main living area feels amazing with its sheer size and classy bulk-head ceilings that really add to the appeal of the space. At one end of the home is a very well appointed kitchen that comes complete with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, there are dual sinks, an electric cook top with range hood, a corner walk-in pantry and plenty of additional storage cupboards. The kitchen overlooks the outside decking area and the adjacent dining/meals. The lounge area is located at the other end of this space and has had a slow combustion heater fitted and a large split system air conditioning unit to ensure that you, your family and guests are kept comfortable all year round.
There are four good sized bedrooms, with the main offering a large walk-in robe and a private, recently updated ensuite bathroom. There is sliding glass doors that lead out to the balcony from the main bedroom that also allow you to enjoy the views whilst still laying in bed. Bedroom two is located up the other end of the home and is generous in size. It comes with built-in robes and a ceiling fan and has sliding door access out to the rear patio area. Bedrooms three and four both come with built-in robes and ceiling fans and are serviced by a classy main bathroom, a separate toilet and a large laundry room at the rear.
This home also offers the added benefit of a 4KW solar panel system, a heat pump hot water service and is plumed into approximately 32,000 litres of rainwater storage with the ability to use quality bore water when needed keeping the running costs to an absolute minimum. There is also security roller shutters fitted to the rear of the property.
The balcony and decking area at the front of the home are ideal spots to either relax and enjoy the peacefulness, or to entertain when friends and family come for a visit. There is also a paved rear patio area that has a wood oven making this another area to spend time with guests when they come over.
There is an envirocycle septic system that together with a number of smaller rainwater tanks can be used for irrigating the gardens when required. There is a bore that can be pumped up to a header tank in the top paddock and is then gravity feed over the property.
Outside you'll love wondering around the gardens listening to birds and noticing butterfly's everywhere. There are a large array of fruit trees including peach, apricot, macadamia, pomegranate, lemon and lime. There are also raspberries, table grapes, plums, apples, quince, fig and a couple of mulberry trees. There is an area where the original old cottage was that is now an amazing veggie patch and where you'll find a fantastic chook enclosure. There is a separate wood/feed shelter and another powered garage down by the bore at the front of the property. There is approximately 3.2 acres of land that has been fenced into three paddocks. Currently there are a couple of alpacas living at the property, there have been a number of sheep here in the past.
Ideally located on the outskirts of Clarendon and on the fringe Kangarilla, only a short 10 minute drive into McLaren Vale and a 15 minute commute in the other direction to Woodcroft or Aberfoyle Park. This location offers an idyllic country lifestyle with the benefit of not being too isolated.
This property has a special soul to it and is one that needs to be felt and experienced in person to truly appreciate. For any additional information or to arrange a private inspection, please make contact with David Hams on 0402 204 841 anytime - An inspection will impress!
