Heaven On Earth? We Think So!
This unique, warm and invitingfamily home with its massive picture windows, is a must see. It has a soul that ‘s evidentthe moment you arrive!
The sweeping views of the valley, the easy care garden, the warm timber floors, thepractical, flexible, yet welcoming layout, makes this home a joy to live in. Observing the sunrises and sunsets imposes the passing of each day and the seasons, creating a very real connection to this magnificent hills environment.
Cleverly created for family living, whether you enjoy large family gatherings or seek a quiet place to create or contemplate, “Glenroy” is the answer.
The 22 acres of land, including approximately 5 acres of native flower plantation, attracts both abundant bird life and a small income. The work commitments can be as much or as little as you like. A vegetable patch, chooks, covered sheep yards, massive shedding etc would fulfill the most ardent of self-sufficiency dreams. Conversely for the time poor, letting the native flower bushes to grow unsupervised would create a welcoming, rejuvenating sanctuary for both native animals and humans alike.
For those looking at City commuting for educating kids or work, this place ticks all the boxes! Only moments from Balhannah, Bridgewater, Hahndorf and the freeway, it’s an easy commute with Burnside only 15 minutes away.
Only on inspection will you appreciate the sense of peace and privacy so close to civilization!!
