148 Vale Road, Wistow adj., Highland Valley SA 5255

28 Acres - Weatherboard Cottage - Separate Studio
Set back privately from roads and neighbours this Circa 1955 weatherboard cottage has the charm of yesteryear yet is upgraded with the modern conveniences of today. Boasting polished timber flooring, high ceilings, large picture windows, upgraded kitchen & bathroom, 3 spacious bedrooms plus a separate fully lined studio offering another bedroom. Positioned perfectly with a Northerly aspect and filled with natural light, enjoy the colours of the sunset and sunrise every day. Year round comfort is maintained with reverse-cycle split system and slow combustion fire, with ample firewood supplied from the property. Entertaining can move outside through the double doors to a fully paved and undercover pergola area overlooking a large grassed area for kids to play.
The property is an almost square allotment of 28 acres of undulating land fenced into 4 separate paddocks (house block, large grazing block, wood lot & cattle yards). A large circular driveway enters off Vale Road and meanders past cattle ramp and yard, old stable block being utilised as storage and shedding, with the 9m x 6m shed and parking bays at the second entrance to the property. Studded with large gums and amazing views from the top of the block the land can be utilised for grazing, bike riding or a pony or two.

For those looking for an eco-friendly and self-sufficient lifestyle, the property has been low-chemical/organic for almost 20 years. There are a number of fruit trees (lemon, mulberry, heritage apples, pear, peach, cherry) and an established drought hardy garden. For those with young children, they'll love splashing in the winter creek in the public reserve across the road, with another winter creek on property. With an abundance of wildlife, this area has a variety of native bird life and visiting kangaroos. Wistow (also known as Highland Valley) offers residents a fantastic country lifestyle to live off the land yet is only 10 minutes to central Mount Barker and 15 minutes to Strathalbyn. Bus pick-up for kids is located at the corner of Vale Road and Wellington Road. Homes with this much charm and character don't come around too often!
