130 Longwood Road, Heathfield, SA 5153

Everything about this character stone and brick home (circa 1926) is BIG. Set on 2400sqm (approx.) with a superb floor plan.

Four large bedrooms are connected by a central hallway with old world charm. Restored fretwork detailing true to the period of the home as are the two fireplaces in two of the bedrooms, large bathroom all with high ceiling giving you an even bigger sense of space.

Modern country kitchen with 900mm gas top/electric freestanding oven, a huge stainless still sink and granite island. Massive walk-in pantry adjoins the kitchen where you can store all your home grown produce and preserves. The kitchen opens onto a large family room which boasts a Mega Nectar wood heater the owners use extensively in winter for cooking.

Beyond this are two smaller rooms that can be used as bedrooms/study/hobby or office. It would suit someone wanting to work from home. There is a second toilet and a workshop or games room. This well planned property could be configured to suit a host of different purposes.

The front garden was designed with the kids in mind. A pretty native cottage garden with lots of different tactile, textured and edible plants. There is also a lofty cubby (great place to watch the Tour Down Under from).

Expansive rear garden designed with permaculture principles. Raised veggie beds, rainwater tanks (approx. 55,000 Litres) and fantastic large deep litter chicken run. No mucking about with compost bays or bins, the chooks do all the work. It also has its own rainwater tank and easy access nesting box. There is also a large bonfire pit with seating for a good old marshmallow and sing along night.

The three years old wood lot is another surprise on this property. Five species of fast growing native trees all chosen for their great coppicing properties so they will regrow after they have been cut down. There is also a winter creek and Aquaponics element designed to harness overflow from the rainwater tanks.
An abundance of fruit trees, assortment of berries and loads of different herbs too numerous to mention here (complete list available).

Close to bus stop, playgroups through to high school. It is five minutes away from Stirling and within 20 minutes commute to the city.

If you are dreaming of being self-sufficient then this is the property for you!
