Have you ever dreamt of being able to escape to your own slice of rural paradise, even for just a weekend? What about making it permanent? This picturesque home, architecturally designed by a local builder for himself in 1984, has an immense amount of charm and beauty that simply can't be replicated today.
The home is set on a massive acreage of 4.49 acres (1.82ha) approximately, and, is set down a winding concrete/bitumen driveway which allows for maximum privacy. The grounds are all manicured and have established gardens and lawn which are perfect for entertaining or simply admiring. Aside from the beautiful views from the northern end of the home, there is a 20ft x 40ft shed with concrete floors, which can accommodate 3+ cars undercover. There is a wood storage station and a superb workshop with storage for 2 cars and an upstairs open-plan lounge and kitchen area.
When you get to the front door of the home, you are immediately greeted with beautiful character features such as custom Macclesfield sandstone and rendered mudbrick. Once you step into the home, the front foyer opens to the spacious dining, lounge and kitchen space; the hub of the home.
The dining space has slate flooring, in excellent condition, stone walls and allows for a large dining table for even the most active entertainer. Servicing the dining area is the modern kitchen with a 900mm stainless steel gas stove top, oven, dishwasher, expert joinery and stone bench tops.
For even the largest of families, the central lounge is 6m in size, has stone walls, solid wooden floorboards, a combustion wood log heater and reverse cycle air conditioning for year round comfort.
Through the hallway, there is an additional formal dining room (which is currently being used as a wine storage hub due to its stone walls and fantastic temperature control) which could easily be utilised as another lounge or dining room. On the same level, there is a bedroom and central bathroom with large corner shower and separate toilet. Upstairs in this section of the home is a mezzanine level with two bedrooms which have and plenty of wardrobe space.
On the 'oasis' side of the home is the huge light-filled master suite with built in robes, beautiful picture windows and a sitting area, where you can sit all year round and admire the view over your tranquil backdrop. Above the master bedroom is the study, which has plenty of storage, a reverse cycle air conditioner, an attic for additional storage and a balcony with more space to admire the beautiful views over your hills backdrop.
Completing the home is the internal laundry with slate flooring, a toilet, shower and bench top space for practicality.
Contributing to this beautiful home's energy efficiency is the 40,000ltr rainwater tank which is plumbed to the home, 16x solar panels @ 1.5kw capacity, the wood log combustion fireplace in the lounge and a water jacket to supplement the solar hot water service when the sun isn't shining.
The location is also perfect for quite literally everyone. It is close to the Macclesfield Township and is only a short drive to Flaxley, Strathalbyn and Mt Barker. You are also close to local agistments so if you have horses you can be close by without the need to have them on your property. The CBD is less than 1 hour away by car so commuting is a pleasure and there are quality schools, restaurants and wineries all within reach.
There is so much more to explore, and whilst this information tells you a lot about the home, it doesn't do it justice until you see what this truly unique home offers. With space for everyone this home really is a 'forever home' which has been presented to you so that even the most fastidious buyer can appreciate it.
