111 Douglas Gully Road, McLaren Flat, SA 5171

Built circa 1910, this quaint little solid masonry cottage, set on a perfect 1/2 an acre and nestled amongst surrounding vineyards, combines rustic country living with a fantastic modern day addition – a huge contemporary detached studio.

Situated in the very heart of wine country, rural living is peaceful and scenic from every aspect and boasts the whole package; shedding, fruit trees, veggie gardens, a little paddock, chook run, lots of rainwater and the obligatory front verandah to sit with a glass of wine and soak up the serenity! ½ an acre provides just the right amount of space for a manageable little project farm and lots of potential to create your own dream.

Everything you expect from a cute country cottage of this era is on offer inside. Lofty ceilings, polished pine floorboards, a cosy fireplace to cuddle up to, original wood oven and sash windows. The 21st century has been introduced sympathetically in the form of an up to date bathroom and modern day kitchen, whilst retaining the charm of yesteryear.

Then of course there is the fantastic detached studio. Built with a rustic touch to complement its environment, this light filled space is the cave of every man’s dreams. A large dual aspect main living area leads through to a separate room ready to be plumbed and an adjoining storeroom. The ultimate games room, this versatile building has potential to be anything you want it to be.
