16 Taylors Rd, Basket Range SA 5138

"Orchard House" - A forager's heaven in a farmland hills retreat on 14 acres.

As picturesque as it is self-sufficient; a rolling hills enclave enriched with fruit-producing farmland and glorious views, with the centrepiece a renovated C 1920 grand manor, steeped in local prominence.

Whether you host bonfire nights by the packing shed or bear home-grown Christmas cherries to family and friends, the home and property has a satisfying capacity to nurture...

Grazing pasture complete with fencing ready for stock, and orchards of apple, cherry, walnuts, citrus and pears, with a pure spring-water bore servicing the whole property.
Blending its historical homestead heart with contemporary additions, the double level grandeur will have the homely host and family entertainer smitten from first glance.

Stunning character fireplaces, sumptuous formal and informal living with five bedrooms plus a study and two and a half bathrooms. An award-winning extension and upgrade introducing Basket Range stonework incorporates the caterer-inspired kitchen, the family meals area and the luxurious master suite upstairs.

The lower level layout comprises a wide central hallway and lobby, a den/study plus bedrooms four and five en route to the expansive formal living/dining room. Here the designer bathroom highlights exposed Basket Range stone to contrast its modern, white footprint, with an adjoining laundry room.

Atop the oak tread staircase, find ample accommodation by way of the enormous master retreat and two bedrooms facing the generous family room, where stunning engineered oak floors and French doors coax you onto the sweeping balconies to watch sunsets over the range or to salute the paddock-to-plate collage on your manicured doorstep.

Located a mere 30 minutes from Adelaide CBD and affectionately named "the European Alps of the Adelaide Hills," discover a region boasting vineyards, pasture and world-class cellar doors - abandon urban grind and reserve your energy for rich, rural reward!
