274 Leslie Creek Road, Longwood, SA 5153

In Essence: Approached through almost 100 metres of poplar and agapanthus hugging the driveway is this private 392sqm residence with indoor pool, spa and sauna, just over 2ha of land with grazing paddocks, abundant water via a dam with boardwalk through the surrounding reeds and iris, bore, rainwater, vegetable gardens and orchard, shedding, landscaped creek-line rising to pristine bushland, and all only minutes to Stirling!

The Home: Nestled into the hillside and built over two levels, the lower entry hall leads to three of the four bedrooms and the full bathroom that services them. With built in robes, private outlooks and fresh decor this is great family accommodation or perhaps utilise as office and guest rooms. The remainder of the lower level is dedicated to a sparkling fully tiled pool with spa, adjoining bathroom and sauna. Surrounded by floor to ceiling windows this is a stunning asset with room for gym equipment, a bar and access to the brick paved carport for entertaining or just gaze across the paddocks at your front door. A striking black staircase leads to the upper level with its balcony running the full width of the house. The spacious master bedroom opens to the balcony with superb views to mown glades under deciduous colour to the dam and grazed paddocks beyond. The adjoining ensuite is luxuriously spacious with spa bath, double vanity unit and shower. Large living areas run from front to rear and wrap around the kitchen and family dining area as its hub. There's room for formal and casual living here, even enough for the billiard table if you choose! In the kitchen, quality cabinetry and masses of storage and an island bench will make entertaining a breeze. The fabulous rear covered deck leading to levelled lawns gives year round options to sit back, relax and watch the 'wildlife'. The family size laundry also has a separate wc and rear access to the covered line. A fully monitored security sytem with cameras adds to the peace of mind.

The Outdoors: Gum studded grazing paddocks, winter creek lines and a beautiful year round dam with abundant birdlife form the approach to the home and blend through to natural bushland behind. Between are cleverly integrated vegetable gardens and orchards and gravelled pathways that wind up hidden valleys. Here tranquil Japanese influenced landscapes have been created around a permanent recirculating stream lined with bamboo, ferns and maples across simple bridges leading to your hidden valley. Extensive available water is a feature of this property. Supported by a bore with large concrete storage tank integrated for maintaining the dam level year round, fire sprinklers and hoses plus large underground rainwater storage, shedding for equipment, workshop and firewood. There's even a ready supply of bluestone to continue the dream. It's all here!
