Nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Rosedale on the fringe of the Barossa Valley, ‘Elmstead’ is built upon approximately 1 and 1/2 acres of botanical gardens. The home was originally a four-roomed sandstone cottage, built in 1862 as the manse for the Trinity Lutheran Church opposite. Additions were made in 1910 to accommodate pastor’s study and a larger lounge for the church community use. ‘Elmstead’ and it’s lush gardens have been lovingly restored and maintained by many pastors until the 1950′s, when it became available for the general populace.

The country kitchen has been constructed from reclaimed timber with punched metal inserts; a caterer’s oven, Bosch dishwasher and Baltic Pine flooring are features. There is a large formal lounge/dining room plus there is a separate family or games room.

The 3 bedrooms are tastefully decorated, as is the guest bathroom and powder room. There is a very stylish ensuite to the main bedroom with spa bath and a walk in robe. Some of many features of the home include 3 split system air conditioners, ducted evaporative air conditioning, open fire places, high ceilings, some polished timber floors and lots of rain water plumbed to the home. The cellar for entertaining is fitted with ceiling wine racks to store more than 200 bottles for your ‘museum stock’ and room for fine dining in beautiful surroundings.

There are verandahs at front and back which allow for more party areas with lawns for kids to play, aviary birds chirping and the many native birds (over 41 species) calling by too. A bonus is a covered vege patch to grow your own produce; and fruit trees to harvest each year as well and the beautifully maintained gardens are on tank water plus there are many sheds to house cars and large areas for parking extra vehicles, caravans, boats etc. THIS REALLY COULD BE YOUR OWN LITTLE PIECE OF PARADISE!
