11 Allumba Drive, Ironbank, SA 5153

At the moment of arrival you are beckoned to take the drive down the tree-lined, sealed driveway, where you will immediately realise you're in for something special.

Located on a picturesque 14,100 sqm (or over three and a half acres) approx. of gently sloping, north-facing land and nestled amongst other semi-rural acreages, this property is perfect for the family who want an idyllic Adelaide Hills lifestyle property.

A very livable homestead for the large, active family who love to entertain, the park-like setting, with expanses of lawn, north-south floodlit tennis court and extensive water feature, will have you thinking you have arrived at a hills retreat.

The brick and weatherboard, ranch-style home with full return verandas, offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, large kitchen and is an entertainers delight with two main living areas that open up through timber French doors to the long verandah that overlooks the rear yard and beyond.

At the southern end of the home a private bedroom wing offers a large master suite, with lovely picture window, large walk-through robe and original ensuite bathroom. At the northern end, there's a further three double bedrooms, two with built in robes and an updated three-way family bathroom with gloss-white finishes and semi-frameless shower screen.

The hub of the home showcases a grand kitchen and provides plenty of storage and work space, boasting stone bench tops, European appliances, including 900mm oven with 5 burner gas cook top and stainless steel splash back, plus a dishwasher. There's a walk-in pantry and a huge island bench that incorporates additional storage and provides a clever space for the microwave.

The central meals area features an expansive built-in, hardwood topped bench, with cupboards beneath and display cabinets overhead, extending this homes' excellent storage further. French doors open out to the expansive terraced garden featuring bluestone retainers and a central staircase enticing you to explore further and beyond.

Setting the scene for the largest of gatherings with family and friends, an ideally positioned outdoor decked entertaining area sits amongst deciduous trees and exotic plantings, providing views over your very own private lake of approximately one acre, complete with pontoon and floodlit fountain.

The dining room provides further access to the rear verandah though a second set of French doors where you can join the party outside, or if you prefer you may choose to retreat to the adjacent sunken lounge.

Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning provides year-round comfort and the family room features a cosy open fireplace, creating extra special ambiance.

A further two bedrooms, central living area and space for a future bathroom are accommodated by a separate weatherboard outbuilding that is perfect as a teenager's retreat.

A wonderful lakeside escape where you can try your hand at catching some yabbies with the kids or simply relax as you watch wild ducks and birds that have made the lake their home. Wake to birdsong and other Australian fauna with koalas, rosellas, kookaburras and kangaroos!

Revel in the park setting whilst hitting up a spot of tennis with friends, day and night or take on your mates with a game of backyard basketball, footy or cricket. On-lookers will enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the amazing stone water feature where a stream begins with a small waterfall and pond from where water gently cascades down and under a bridge that provides access to the court and beyond to a second pond that over flows back to the lake.

Superbly located on a no-through road where you seldom see a car or neighbour in sight, this is an opportunity that's absolutely not to be missed.

An excellent 'tree change' lifestyle opportunity only 10 minutes’ drive from the comfort and services of the delightful Adelaide Hills community of Stirling, less than 20 minutes from the Toll Gate and under 30 minutes to the CBD.
