Transform your life with a move to a whole new world of serenity and sanctuary offered by this delightful property, situated in one of the most idyllic Adelaide Hills locations and adjoining the world-famous Heysen Trail. A unique offering of two distinct pieces of land (on one title) divided by a quiet public road, totalling 21,900 sqm or almost five and a half acres (approx.)
The Residence:
Created to take advantage of its elevated position with the most stunning of semi-rural views, the quality built weatherboard home (circa 2000) comprising four good-sized bedrooms, two bathrooms and central, spacious open-plan living area, is finished in autumnal tones and is absolutely immaculate.
Providing no less than two Alfresco areas and full-length verandah, there is an outdoor area for every occasion. A brilliant main outdoor entertaining pavilion, setting the scene for the largest of gatherings with family and friends, providing panoramic views over the meticulously cared for gardens and enjoying an easterly outlook to the Ashton valley beyond. A second under cover area adjacent the kitchen and dining area is just perfect for the more intimate occasion.
Feel the stress fade away as you unwind in either of these two superb Alfresco areas that integrate their open sides with quality caf blinds allowing year-round outdoor comfort, the ideal places for relaxation and reflection after a hard days work.
Cherish every minute sitting on the expansive verandah that fronts the home and take in the breathtaking views any time of the day. Control summer morning sun easily with full height, and slim-lined retractable screens.
The Grounds:
The moment you turn into Woods Hill Road and glimpse this rare offering for the first time you know you are in for something very special. The expansive landscaped 'residential' grounds of some 10,000 sqm or two and a half acres (approx.) with huge street frontage and secure, gated driveway with remote-control access are a wonderland of expansive lawned areas and garden rooms with mature deciduous trees, exotic shrubs and terraced garden beds, providing valuable shade in summer, but letting the sunlight through in winter. A truly peaceful place to inspire adults and an exciting adventure playground in which children can thrive.
The immaculate 6x10m, triple-width enclosed garage with automated roller doors provides weatherproof parking for two cars and a spacious 'third bay' featuring superb built in cabinetry and bench that will make any 'man-cave' enthusiast envious!
Further under cover parking is provided by way of a carport adjoining a second 5x7m shed.
Pure rainwater is harvested from the main roof and pumped to the huge 110,000 litre tank and is gravity fed back to the house, providing impressive 'mains water' pressure.
A supplemental, metered water supply is provided to this and other neighbouring properties via a private agreement from an adjoining property owner, providing as much pressure fed, sweet bore water to the grounds as required.
Everything to maintain this easy-care, park-like, lifestyle property has been carefully considered and put into place with nothing left to chance. Extensive surface water drainage infrastructure ensures that even the wettest of winters are well accounted for. The entire external fencing of this 2.5 acre portion of the property is fastidiously maintained with small gauge mesh extending beneath ground level, keeping unwanted rabbits out, and your beloved small dogs safe and sound!
Strategically placed garden shedding, animal and pet holding yards, including an immaculate, fully-fenced dog run with quality kennel and shelter that will no doubt make your pooch feel like they are 'Top Dog'; a quality chook house and pen with larger, separately fenced run; plus a holding yard for feeding the pony when it comes to visit from the three acres of paddock above.
The Top Paddock:
A quick step across the lightly frequented road at the rear of this sanctuary is a further 12,000 sqm or three acres (approx.) of clear land. Comprising two well fenced paddocks with shed, RWT and thoughtfully placed access gates, this piece of land features the most amazing sweeping views and has previously been home to a couple of ponies.
