Historically a market garden, and known as 'Berry Hill', the current owners have delighted in the property's gift of natural resources for domestic food production and lovingly transformed it into an equine enthusiast's paradise. Set in a breathtaking country setting, this 6.7 acres (2.73 hectares) of gently sloped land with a 4-bedroom home is located in THAT part of Kenton Valley with extensive water resources and deep, rich soils suited to food production but ALSO excellent shedding, 3 phase power, an in-ground pool and a 5 Kw solar unit.

The 4-bedroom-plus office home features stone frontage, polished floors, high ceilings, ornate cornices and a slow-combustion fireplace. Deciduous trees surround the home providing shade that helps maintain a pleasant, ambient indoor temperature during warmer months.

The large, country blackwood kitchen is adjacent to a dazzling pantry with a wall of shelving ideally suited to the storage of excess produce and home-made preserves. With a few additions, the pantry doubles as a butler's pantry.

The main bedroom connects via the walk-in-robe to a lavish ensuite with a luxurious spa. Two generously sized bedrooms have built-ins. The fourth bedroom suits an adult/teenager and connects to a gym/games area.

A key attribute of this property is the inviting, crystal-clear, in-ground swimming pool with hardwood decking overlooking the glorious surroundings. The pool is concealed just enough to delight in your own private dip if you choose. A sense of magical charm is stirred when the underwater pool lights twinkle softly as you swim.

A mature, productive domestic orchard area boasts a row of cherry varieties, a row of apple varieties, stone fruits (nectarines, apricots, peaches, plums), 2 rows of marionberries and raspberries, some blackcurrants, figs and grapes, and a veggie garden. Citrus varieties include mandarin, orange and lemon trees. There are also chestnut trees and a magnificent walnut tree. Something is ripe for gorging fresh almost every day, and when there isn't you can raid your preserved, excess food supply! A tidy chook pen accommodates laying hens.

The water resources connected to this property are exceptional!!! Rainwater from 4 poly tanks with a combined capacity of at least 76,500 Litres plus the bore service the home. The domestic bore (ID 6628-22010 in the Groundwater database) manages 4 sprinklers with loads of pressure at the same time, has a pumping capacity of 4 litres/s, and is of low salinity (520 mg/L). The owners refer to the bore as 'liquid gold'!
