Magnificently set among flourishing formal country gardens with the most majestic Oak tree in the Adelaide Hills, this property instantly takes your breath away and takes you back in time.

You are in fact right in the heart of Mount Barker. Walking distance to everything Mt Barker has to offer, yet at Dumas House, you could be forgiven for thinking you were a whole world away.
