60 Aldgate Valley Road, Aldgate SA 5154

Situated on the prestigious, and tightly-held, Aldgate Valley Road amongst some of the Adelaide Hills' finest properties, the landmark Forest House is arguably one of the most unique and enchanting properties in the Hills.

Located on nearly 4 acres of magnificent gardens featuring a Supergrass tennis court, array of mature European trees, lawns, stunning ponds and waterfalls - a babbling creek and bridge complete your very own slice of paradise.

Architecturally designed and master built, the home is set over two levels offering nearly 400 square metres of living. It features up to four bedrooms (or three + rumpus room), three renovated bathrooms and extensive living areas with a functional floorplan.

Soaring cathedral ceilings, reminiscent of the Tudor era, sit over the open plan living, opening to the Conservatory. A welcoming fireplace is perfect in the spacious lounge and dining area, all overlooked by a stunning 120-year-old recycled wooden staircase. The towering centrepiece is a 100-year-old hand carved beam from the old Echuca wharf supporting the roof.

The striking country-style kitchen features top-of-the-range Falcon free-standing oven with gas hotplates and matching rangehood, ASKO dishwasher , a generous walk-in pantry, plus magnificent recycled Jarrah bench tops.

The jewel in the crown is an award-winning conservatory with 360-degree views of the surrounding gardens creating a wonderful sense of indoor-outdoor living. Featuring stunning black and white marble flooring and French doors flowing out to the sandstone outdoor entertaining area with large swim-spa.

Upstairs, you will find a large private library/study featuring an expansive built-in Jarrah bookcase. An extensive master suite featuring walk-in-robe, dressing room, en-suite bathroom with spa bath and double shower - all with incredible views of the surrounding gardens - is a perfect parents retreat.

The property includes ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning (zoned), gas heating, three-phase power, double garage with auto doors (internal access), monitored alarm system & a large garage/shed.

The gardens are watered by a 13-station automated underground watering system serviced by a bore (1,500 gallons/hr of quality spring water & with 3.2ML p.a. water licence)

Only a 3-minute drive, (or a lazy 20-minute walk) to the Aldgate Village shops, with the delights of Stirling & the city within 20 m
