Modern Australian Homestead, Botanic Setting
Far Reaching Rural Views to Mt Barker
An outstanding home, the elevated modern Australiana homestead at Lady Bute Drive in Mt Barker’s up-market Dalmeney Farm Estate represents superb family accommodation set within a botanic garden setting with far-reaching rural views to Mt Barker.
Prized for its location, quality infrastructure and large allotments, Dalmeney Farm Estate is arguably the choicest of any of the residential areas set around the Mt Barker township, and is far enough away to offer a semi rural lifestyle and peace and quiet, but close to all established amenities.
Designed and built by the current owner, the property at Number 7 represents a very wide frontage to the street, with a semi circular gravel driveway flanked by a glade of colourful gleditzea trees and flower gardens. Constructed of steel frame and Hebel brick, with high ceilings and substantial proportions throughout, this home has been designed to incorporate every convenience and the luxury of reverse cycle air conditioning as well as upgraded insulation, glare reducing window film, twin hot water services, and a host of quality inclusions.
The wide entrance door with polished tiled vestibule opens through to the tiled living areas, incorporating an open plan lounge, TV and dining area with picture window outlook to the semi-rural district in the lee of Mt Barker.
Particularly well designed, the luxurious white lacquered kitchen is fitted with granite bench tops and the outlook here to the tranquil botanic garden setting adjacent the gazebo is stunning. A fully-fitted walk-in pantry, implement cupboard, double width fridge space, water filter, integrated Bosch dishwasher, under bench oven with separate grill and Bosch cook top are just some of the features.
The substantial proportions extend to the bedroom accommodation.
The master bedroom incorporates a smart blue and white bathroom, walk in ‘robes, and French doors to the gazebo, terrace and garden and views.
The remainder of the accommodation is established as a separate wing of the house, with a wide hall and doorways opening to the second, third and fourth bedrooms each with a garden outlook, sharing the facility of the spacious sky lit family bathroom and blue and white laundry fitted with a double sink and wall of storage cupboards. The irregular-shaped and beautiful spacious study could provide bedroom accommodation as required.
Off-street parking is easy and secure, with remote controlled doors opening to the double drive-through garage accessed from the semi circular driveway. Designed for a camper van the large garage and workshop offers secure vehicle storage with internal access to the home.
Quality built by Rossdale Homes from the current owner’s architect’s plans, this spacious family home is impeccably presented, and represents a dream home for a growing family or for a semi retired couple requiring space and outlook.
The grounds incorporate well-established lawns and gardens, with a backdrop of colourful garden beds, and pathways and trees providing a haven in this glorious location. Closer to the kitchen the paved terrace and gazebo (with its own signature Japanese garden) surrounded by Japanese pear, crab apple, lilac trees, magnolia and other plantings is well lit offering an idyllic outdoor entertaining area.
A modern Australiana homestead modelled on the ‘Queenslander’ with the very Australian colour scheme of cream and green, this beautiful property on 3033 sq metres of established garden offers a dream home designed for practical living in a beautiful new area in the Adelaide hills.
