An early settler's c1890s cottage from the beginning, now a magnificent piece of history which has been tastefully and carefully looked after, preserving its traditional charm while adding a surprisingly contemporary influence inside and out.
Occupying a well-utilised 1496m2 allotment which could not be in a more convenient location, the cottage provides a creative blend of high ceilings, Colorbond cladding, local stone, beautiful reverse straw bale walls, along with an inventive and extraordinary glass bottle wall in the main dining room.
Set behind an array of rose bushes and astonishingly elusive from first glance, this beautiful cottage stretches far with multiple living configurations consisting of a front lounge room, a hallway through to the central kitchen and dining, through the breezeway to the extensive family room and parents retreat with a private balcony.
The grounds are rich in permaculture and organic gardens, well-equipped with productive fruit trees, a small glasshouse, raised veggie patches, chicken coops and plenty of utility and vehicle storage.
The cottage had been restored in mind for the elderly, making each home area wheelchair accessible. So whether you're a growing family, upsizing or downsizing, or simply looking for a tree change to the renowned Adelaide Hills, this one fits the bill. So move in and enjoy the incredible sense of peace and privacy the home exudes.
