Step back in time, when everything moved a little slower, when homes were built to stand forever, when land sizes were larger. It is only time that can produce such a masterpiece.
The grace of Dumas House is a testament of time – Circa 1860. Resided by Mr Charles Dumas and his family, who founded “The Courier”, Dumas House is a tremendous reminder of times gone by.

Magnificently set among flourishing formal country gardens with the most majestic Oak tree in the Adelaide Hills, this property instantly takes your breath away and takes you back in time. English country gardens and wisteria clad veranda’s, the sensational scent of spring, the warble of the magpies, the dancing butterflies, all so beautifully relaxing, yet there is something truly amazing here. You are in fact right in the heart of Mount Barker. Walking distance to everything Mt Barker has to offer, yet at Dumas House, you could be forgiven for thinking you were a whole world away.

Modern amenities have been included such as bench top hot plates and a wall oven. The sold timber kitchen which overlooks the rear garden through a quaint bay window is a perfect fit for such a character laden home.

Today’s luxuries have not been forgotten with a sumptuous tiled bathroom complete with spa bath, shower and glass vanity, and a laundry cleverly tucked away behind closed doors.
Comfort is always close by with 3 magnificent open fire places, together with the ease of reverse cycle air-conditioning. As the weather warms up, the sparkling pool is exceptionally inviting, once again privately tucked away ensuring complete privacy from the outside world.
