Five paddocks, three bedrooms, one extension, 4.25 acres, and 10 minutes from the tollgate....
By the numbers, there's a lot to love about this impressive slice of the Adelaide Hills. But trust us when we say that the true appeal comes from the things you can't measure...
It's the warmth of the period features that only a 1920s built home can afford; the sandstone façade, lofty decorative ceilings, pine floors, fireplaces and more.
It's the fresh country air that greets you from the timber deck of that extension - the same extension that hosts Jarrah floors and a modern kitchen laden with Caesarstone and stainless steel.
It's the sight of endless tranquility, subtly divided into those five paddocks - the paddocks that include an Olympic size dressage arena, and remind you that the rat race is long gone.
Meanwhile, the kids will revel in the freedom and intrigue - the idea that the orchard can be their project from start to finish - what stone fruits will they choose to nurture?
In between, there's the adventure of exploration; start at the maple-lined drive and keep moving to discover your riverbank oasis and private jetty. Enter your new addiction to fishing - particularly in October when the Redfin bite with every cast of the rod.
Then there's the comfort of all those extras, large and small: the natural light in the home; the three equally sized bedrooms; the 3-minute drive to the iconic Hahndorf, the charming Australian Oak garage and workshop large enough to house three cars and a tractor; and the river-fed irrigation system designed to keep the grass, trees and horses hydrated for free, all year round.
Of course, with an estate of this size, there's so much more to discover and love - so much that it's simply hard to quantify. Welcome to Verdun!
