20 Brown Road, Echunga, SA 5153

If you are looking for country seclusion or your first home with land, this cosy double brick cottage may just be what you have been searching for. Located off a quiet country lane on the outskirts off Echunga, this property melts into its surroundings so well you would hardly know it exists.

The home itself is situated to the rear of the 1.01Ha allotment offering ample bedrooms including a master with built in robe and sunset views plus a second bedroom which is also a generous double size. Both of these bedrooms include small mezzanine areas, which not only provide the current owners with fantastic storage spaces but have also been used as extra bedrooms in the past. The main bathroom has a lovely rustic finish accentuated by exposed bricks while remaining modern, functional and central to both the bedrooms. High pitched ceilings, bright colours and a general feeling of warmth and happiness greet you as you enter the open plan kitchen, living and dining areas. The galley style kitchen offers timber cupboards and ample built in storage space, a near new cooker with ceramic cook top, electric oven and range hood. Flowing through from the kitchen is the living and dining area. This room has a nice open feel, accentuated by the timber flooring, high-pitched ceilings, a big skylight and large picture windows overlooking a park like back garden and heritage orchard. There is a slow combustion heater as well as an open fireplace with a wood box filled from the outside providing ample warmth in the winter. There is plenty of ready split gum firewood for the upcoming cooler months meaning you save money on both power bills and on buying wood! A reverse cycle air conditioner keeps things comfortable in the hottest parts of summer, though the solid construction and insulation mean it is seldom required. The laundry is functional and well located with tons of storage as well as direct access to the clothes line.

Outdoors, it is evident everywhere you look that the owners have taken great pride in creating a garden that is not only impressive, but offers the opportunity be self sufficient. In recent times, additions to this garden include: raspberries, blackberries, heritage apples, blackcurrants, blueberries, plums, tamarillos and more. There are wonderful looking raised veggie patches organised around ready access to the kitchen, with dozens of herbs growing happily alongside flowers and well positioned shade trees. The garden is easy to maintain with excellent soils, reticulated watering and its rewards a savoury delight all year round.

The shedding on this property is excellent. There are two secure outbuildings comprising a double lock up garage and a very large, lined and insulated, air-conditioned workshop/studio with ample lighting and power plus sliding glass door entry. This building would make an ideal studio, home office, music room, or somewhere to work on that hobby that needs more space than you ever thought it would when you first started.

The rest of this allotment has been returned to its native state with abundant flora and fauna including a proliferation of Australian orchids including donkey, sun and spider and the frequent visits from yellow tailed cockatoos, kookaburras and koalas around Christmas time make this property an ever changing pleasure year round. A 100,000 litre rainwater tank is disguised among the trees and is plumbed to the home and garden. Water will never be an issue and water bills will become a thing of the past.

Close to the iconic township of Hahndorf, surrounded by tranquil grazing land, a stones throw from Kuipto Forest and Jupiter Creek gold diggings and a short commute to the city, we believe this property provides the complete package.
