405 Checker Hill Road, Forreston SA

Only 25 mins from Gawler,Tea Tree Plaza and the Obahn to the city, this 48 hectare privately sited rural haven nestles in it's own valley, set well back from the road and neighbours.
Built in 1980 and significantly up graded and extended by Gary Hughes this home embraces its setting, with light filled living areas giving extensive views over the dam and surrounding paddocks.

Entering through a north facing pergola (with removable sunshades for summer) you pass through the paved outdoor entertaining area and covered veranda to the double glass doors that open in to the spacious sunroom. The living area to your left comprises a large family kitchen with solid Australian Ash cupboards, Smartstone benchtops and walk in pantry, an adjacent dining area with superb water views and a large, light filled family living room with cathedral ceiling.



To your right the parent's wing comprises a spacious bedroom with a wall of built in robes and a comfortably sized ensuite with a view to the garden of native shrubs and water feature. Opposite is the spacious parents' lounge/living room.

The separate children's wing of 3 bedrooms, all with built in robes, includes the main bathroom and separate toilet. The huge laundry/ mud room is adjacent with wall to wall cupboards for all your belongings. A computer nook links the children's and adult/ family spaces together in this well planned home.

A reliable year round water supply to the house and paddocks is provided by a spring fed dam. A 1 ha Tasmanian Bluegum wood lot will supply the wood heater in the main living area for winters to come, and a reverse cycle fully ducted Daiken air conditioning system provides cooling and heating throughout the house as required.

The property provides undulating grazing for your choice of livestock in 9 paddocks, all with water available. Extensive views across the Barossa ranges to the north and the Torrens Valley to the south reward those who ascend to meet the Heysen trail on the northern boundary of the property.

Facilities for stock handling and loading are located adjacent to the main shed of 6x14 metres which incorporates a cement floored workshop. The property is serviced with 3 phase power. An open shelter the length of the shed provides storage for farm equipment as well as a loose box and yard for the family pony. A cleared area in an adjacent paddock is ready to be equipped as a m?nage for horse work.

Behind the house an established vegetable garden with raised beds is netted to ensure a plentiful supply, whilst a netted grove of established fruit trees including apples, pears, quince, cherries, peaches and plum provide summer delights.

Buses to a choice of local public and private schools pass within walking distance of the front gate.

This unique property enables you and your family to experience the best of country life without missing out on any city living advantages.
