Eye catching and well located, privately positioned off from Onkaparinga Valley Road. Flourishing country gardens flank the character stone home and sprawling grounds provide many areas for versatile entertaining from tennis and pool parties to winter bonfires. An award-winning boutique vineyard provides the ideal setup for those wanting to produce quality, small batch wines.
The sandstone cottage, circa 1890/1900 offers the original four main rooms, well proportioned, with classic 12′ ornate pressed metal ceilings and central front hallway. Two of the original rooms offer hand crafted timber fireplace surrounds and the lounge with marble fireplace and an inbuilt slow combustion log fire.
The rear of the residence has been extended and presents a Farquhar kitchen with timeless appeal. Ample cupboards, Jarrah top island bench with double sink and Miele appliances will delight the chefs of the family and the outlook across two separate garden areas reminds the family that life here at Verdun Park feels just right – and it is.
Linked directly to the dining area, is the historic residence circa 1880, which still boasts original Baltic pine ceilings. The single room cottage originally housed one of our earliest settlement owners, where they raised their four children. The property was named Verdun Park at that time and was originally a large apple orchard. Today this room offers split system air-conditioning and is utilised as a large living space and office.
The rear hallway leads past the spacious bathroom and separate toilet and makes way to the private brick paved entertaining area. Summer days just got that much better relaxing under the shade of the Chinese and Golden Elm trees overlooking the inground pool and tennis court.
The property offers privacy via a profusion of mature English and European trees. Two large desert ash trees shade a solid ‘vintage’ table, creating the perfect parklike setting for family get togethers or harvest day lunches. Heritage roses frame cottage garden beds and there are established fruit tree’s including 2 lemons, 1 peach, 1 mulberry tree and a very old Quince tree.
The award-winning boutique vineyard offers approximately 1 acre of Shiraz and approximately 1 acre of Sav Blanc. The vineyard offers an enviable history of award-winning wines from grapes supplied to wine company ‘Verdun Park Wines’.
