This is your escape to the country...
With easy access to local primary and high schools, supermarkets, and all the amenities offered by the bustling town of Gawler but surrounded by rolling hills and breathtaking vistas this 4.5-acre property has been tastefully renovated to include all the modern comforts of today whilst retaining its clever Architectural features and passive solar design.
Quality built in the early 80's and currently comported as 5 bedrooms (or 4 and a study/games room/office), a comfortable combined kitchen and dining room, and lounge/family room.
The northern side of the house is flooded with natural light, and has full height raked ceilings with exposed natural timber beams and features an efficient convective combustion heater room to keep you toasty on the coldest nights.
The southern side of the house features regular ceiling height above the bedrooms and bathrooms. The addition of double insulation helps keep the cold or heat outside where it belongs.
The completely renovated country style kitchen is truly the heart of this home and features a butler's sink, handcrafted oak-style tiled benchtops and plenty of shelves and intelligent storage. There is a large pantry, premium 900mm freestanding gas stove with fan forced electric oven, with stainless splash back, rangehood and dishwasher, it is an absolute pleasure to cook in, has filtered water available, and has an amazing view over the garden through expansive windows.
From here you lead onto the remaining bedrooms each with its own unique character and charm. The massive master bedroom features an updated spacious ensuite bathroom with new fixtures and a walk-in robe with added storage of shelving reaching right to the raked ceiling height. The second bedroom is of good size and features a built in wardrobe. Bedroom three is large and has a generous solid oak desk fitted into a purpose-built recess. While bedroom 4 is more economical in size, it's a perfect nighttime retreat, with enough room for king single bed and full-size wardrobe, (and no tech!) Bedroom five is an amazing child/teen retreat, currently fitted with large double size bunk over a relaxing chill out zone, also with room for an amazing computer/office desk, wardrobes and storage aplenty.
The Family bathroom has an air of luxury all of its own. With hints of "day spa", this delightful recently renovated bathroom has a shower over a full-sized bathtub and a double vanity with storage, updated soft close toilet. Feature tiling accents and stunning wall treatment make this a special place to pamper yourself.
The residence has a recently installed quality evaporative air conditioner ducted to every living space and bedroom. Internet access is via the fastest possible NBN with "Fibre to the premises", and the house features CAT6 data cabling to most rooms.
An 8KW solar system slices through power bills, and although the property is conveniently supplied by mains water, there is approximately 100KL of rainwater storage. Rainwater is plumbed to the whole of the property through a quality pump and filter system, with automated switch over.
Outside you will find a large concrete patio area covered by grape vines, with an extensive brick outdoor kitchen with characterful concrete benchtops. There is a double car carport to the east, while the south and west sides boast shaded pergolas.
A few steps further brings you to the full-size concrete tennis court, expansive lawns, and parklike native garden areas. There is a large chicken pen, established vegetable beds, a stable and an abundance of shedding for garden and other uses. There is a large garage with concrete floors, power and double sliding doors to store and tinker with your toys, even a large glasshouse with overhead irrigation fitted.
There are more than 100 fruit and nut trees and bushes, predominantly in the two orchards. The lower orchard is completely covered with bird proof netting, protecting the abundance of fruit you will be able to harvest for between 10 and 12 months of the year. Varieties of fruit include apples, pears, oranges, peaches, plums, apricots, figs, almonds, guavas and even mangoes, avocados and bananas... The upper orchard has the beginnings of the orchard framing installed, with most materials available to complete the project should you wish. There is practically every fruit you have ever heard of and many you haven't! Varieties were chosen to give early, mid and late season fruiting, and we have never used any chemicals.
The orchards, and house surrounding gardens are supplied by drip irrigation systems for maximum efficiency and water saving.
You will have an absolute abundance of your very own home-produced fresh fruit and vegies with plenty to spare to share with family and friends or preserve for your own delicious jellies and jams to enjoy all year round or sell at local boutique markets in Gawler or the Barossa.
The large rear paddocks have been improved by the installation of water catching swales, and planting of fodder trees, and the entire property is ringed with a firewood row, so that you will never have to pay for heating fuel.
There is something here for everyone, reap the benefit of the many established features whilst still having plenty of room for kids to play and to implement your own ideas...maybe graze a sheep or two, or room to play with toys, or indulge your mechanical or horticultural passions.
Feel like you are living "the good life", while being 4mins from bustling Gawler with its great pubs, restaurants and coffee shops., just around the corner from the amazing Barossa cycleway, and a short drive from some of the best wineries in the world in the Barossa and Clare Valleys., you can see why this area is so highly sought after.
