This is your escape to the country...
With easy access to local primary and high schools, supermarkets, Mt Pleasant Farmers Market and much more. Surrounded by rolling hills and breathtaking vistas this 1.6 acre property has been fully renovated to include all the modern comforts of today whilst retaining its old world character and charm.
Originally a church and schoolhouse, dating back to the 1850's, it has been lovingly restored and includes 4 bedrooms (or 3 and a study), a large formal dining and lounge room with 3.3m high ornate ceilings and a combustion wood heater to keep you cosy on those cool winter nights. There is a large family/games room which leads into the expansive park-like gardens. The large study features a Victorian Cast-Iron open fire place as well as the original front door of the church which leads you through to a bright and airy sun-room. A serene retreat where you can enjoy peace and tranquility whilst basking in the warm sunshine of cool winter days.
A large country kitchen is truly the heart of this home and features a butler's sink, oak bench-tops, plenty of shelves and storage, not to mention a walk in pantry, gas stove and dishwasher, it is an absolute pleasure to cook in.
From here you lead onto the remaining bedrooms each with its own unique character and charm. The master bedroom has the spoils of a French door leading onto its own private patio. A wonderful place to retreat to after a hard day's work, take in the views and cool summer breezes while enjoying a glass of wine from one of many excellent local wineries.
The bathroom has an air of luxury all of its own. Feeling more like a day spa, its modern features blend seamlessly with the classic touches that make this property so unique. Including a double vanity, a large corner bath with overhead shower and a sauna, it is the perfect place for the stresses of the day to melt away.
Outside you will find a large chicken pen, vegetable beds, and an abundance of mature fruit trees including apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, apricots, figs, mulberries and grapes. An abundance of your very own home produced fresh fruit and veg with plenty to spare to share with family and friends or preserve for your own delicious jellies and jams to enjoy all year round. Included with the sale of this property is a professionally designed permaculture plan, so should you be interested in self-sufficiency, the hard part has been done.
The property is serviced by mains water supply, but also has a rainwater tank within easy access of the vegetable gardens.
You have the benefit here of the many established features whilst still having plenty of room for kids to play and to implement your own ideas...maybe graze a sheep or two.
A great feature of this property is a large self-contained retreat of approx. 54m. Including a large bedroom and living room as well as an adjoining bathroom and a double garage. Fantastic for a growing family, a teenage retreat or guest accommodation.
You will want for nothing in this impressive home.
