7.83ha (19.34 acres). Incredible and individual from the character laden 1910 solid home, with gorgeous extension and upgrades, to the spectacular land it rests upon in its tranquil private setting.
 
LAND: 7.83ha (19.34 acres). An amazing property that is uniquely beautiful, like no other. From spectacular watercourses in the valley, the lush grazing areas, the incredible vista from the plateau, to all in between including the evergreen gardens and park like setting. Located at the very end of a bitumen, no through road, the property is the epitome of privacy and semi-seclusion yet is easily accessed from the main Adelaide Lobethal Road and has the Lenswood Primary School only a few minutes’ walk away. The property has additional access with frontage to the Adelaide-Lobethal Road at Forest Range which is perfect when utilising some of the plentiful shedding. The home surrounds are a colourful combination of natural Australiana blended with imported deciduous trees that provide seasonal splendour and year round attraction for the birdlife. The creek, which traverses almost the full length of the property, enters the land at the north western corner and flows south passing the massive trees and the island before merging with the flow of the natural spring and exiting at the southern end of the property. There are many beautiful spots to relax along the valley floor and especially in the rotunda; a perfect spot for a picnic. Take the footbridge across the creek and onto the island, or go exploring for frogs and yabbies. Vehicle tracks enable access in and around the property and include creek crossings. The land varies from fertile, gently undulating to rising terrain that currently carries sheep and alpacas. A special feature and unwavering benefit is the overflowing spring which provides water for trees and stock without the need for pumping. Whether it is the winter wonderland, the changing colours of spring and autumn or the shade and cooling breezes in the summer, this property is one to appreciate and enjoy all year round.
 
RESIDENCE: The brick, cottage style home, with tiled front verandah and timber balustrade, has retained all its essential country charm yet embraces the land with its magnificent modern addition. The central entrance hall accesses the two, double size bedrooms at the front of the home, one with ceiling fan while the other has a full width, timber, built-in robe. The lounge room is elegant with an open fire place, with feature timber mantle and surround, along with double doors that provide external access. This room could very easily be converted to another bedroom if required. Opposite the lounge is a room which was once a formal dining room with its beautiful ornate period features such as a ceiling rose and timber floor. Now it is utilised as a study or sitting room with access to the recent, magnificent extension. This incredible addition to the home is perfect. With its elevation above the ground, the acquisition of the double glazed Argon filled, commercial grade windows that create a virtual wall of glass which provides the outward vista over the property, the Tasmanian Oak flooring, internal and external double doors, split system air conditioning and more; it is all simply superb. This front section of the home has 91/2ft ceilings and, along with the kitchen, has ducted, reverse cycle, air conditioning. The kitchen, at the rear of the home, has also been upgraded to include fine quality appointments embraced by striking tones. Also renovated is the bathroom which includes floor to ceiling tiling, new vanity and corner spa bath. Further additional living space comes by way of a semi enclosed section that adjoins the kitchen.  This much loved, quaint, solid and uniquely appealing home could be that beautiful country home or the rural escape you’ve always wanted.
