Country Homestead on approx. 52 acres - Impressive workshop/garage with pit - Bore, grazing land, exotic & native garden

A comfortable bluestone country homestead surrounded by a picturesque garden on some 52 acres of land. Solar power, no water bills and no real near neighbours. A wonderful opportunity to provide yourself and or the family a quality lifestyle and more space.

The home was beautifully built in 1989 with bluestone mined from the very same property. It has been thoughtfully designed and sited to make the most of splendid views across the garden and winter creek. High ceilings, decorative rose cornice, solid timber colonial windows and French doors add a feeling of extra elegance throughout.

The home is comprised of three bedrooms (including the master with ensuite), a roomy open plan lounge/dining room, a kitchen with plenty of bench-space and a cosy sitting room that could easily be used as a study. A shady bullnose verandah surrounds each side of the home and a substantial all-weather pergola with zip track blinds provides plenty of outdoor entertaining space. Both a single and a tripple carport are located conveniently near to the home.

A graceful garden terraced with rock-walls (also hewn of local stone) surrounds the residence and contains a plethora of plants and flowers such as: wattles; protea; daffodils; Irises; deep pink and red camelias; agapanthus; peonies; bottle brush; grevillia; lilliums; robinia; lillies, daisies; blue gums; a peach, fig, lemon and pear tree. It is here a variety of native birds flitter throughout such as: blue wrens; maggies; rosellas; kookaburras; galahs, cockateils and finches. While a meandering winter creek gently meets the River Torrens that abuts the edge of the property.
