The Story

Originally constructed in the 1920′s as a 4 roomed cottage this home was extended in 1999/2000 into the comfortable contemporary residence it is today. The history is sketchy but we do know that the local school teacher, Mrs Pointer and her husband lived here for a number of years. The current custodians have loved being here but life circumstances have dictated a relocation, hence your opportunity to secure this unique parcel of Australiana.

The house is positioned so that its northerly aspect offers spectacular panoramic views of the grazing paddocks and native landscape beyond. The skyscape is ever changing depending on the time of day and weather conditions – you will never tire of gazing out over the deck at these remarkable vistas – Truly mesmerising.

A third generation local orchardist swears that “This property has the best views in Lenswood”.

Between 2006 – 2011 the older section of the house was completely reclad with colorbond steel, together with the installation of new Cedar windows and insulation.
Features include 3 generously proportioned bedrooms, main with a spacious ensuite and robe and bedrooms 2 and 3 offering good storage options. A new laundry and family bathroom were also added in 2012.
Depending on your requirements, the dining room could be configured to house a small sofa, becoming a combined family meals zone. The kitchen window takes in the views, as does the expansive living room. Natural light and neutral paint shades combine to create a relaxed atmosphere where you will simply adore entertaining. Open up the French doors to allow the cool evening breezes to flow through. Alternatively you could spend your down time on the sheltered deck with the nearby fire pit cranked up (careful with fire bans) and once again that all-consuming view will add to the tranquil, quiet ambience. You may consider adding a covered pergola to the deck – Your choice.

When the current owners moved in there was barely a tree on the property. They soon took to planting out the bottom part of the block with an extensive array of native trees and shrubs. Particular attention was paid to attracting local bird and wildlife, especially Koalas. A number of manor gums were planted for this purpose and there is now a resident Koala family on the property. See if you can spot them as you wander along the pathway through the native forest. In addition the native forest provides a substantial amount of firewood.

Lenswood is an extremely picturesque area in the Adelaide hills. Its claim to fame is its marvellous apple, pear and cherry orchards. You will also discover a number of Boutique wineries with cellar doors dotted about the area. Take the time to explore – you won’t be disappointed. It is a world away from the hustle and bustle yet just a short 40 minute drive will see you in the city centre. Please call me for inspection details – I’m looking forward to showing you around.
