This substantial stone Mansion circa 1857 was built for the Rogers Family 155 years ago and is situated on 35 hectares with views to Lake Alexandrina. The five bedroom home features two bathrooms, a modernised kitchen, formal dining room, office/study, living room and a 6m x 8.9m “Ballroom” with large bay window and French doors. The grand central hallway leads to the many rooms mentioned from the main entrance to the staff quarters at the rear.
Original pressed metal ceilings, ornate arches and cornices, ceiling roses and open fireplaces feature throughout this beautifully decorated home with classic timber floors and attractive tiling.
Numerous outbuildings surround the home including the original staff quarters at the rear of the home, a dry cellar accessed via the verandah, a two bedroom workman’s cottage, sheltered stone courtyard stables, blacksmiths workshop, tool shed with cobblestone floors and a four stand shearing shed.
The 35 hectares with mains water throughout and good fencing has been used mostly for grazing and enjoys panoramic views from the rear of the property to the coast.
This magnificent return verandah homestead was built using local blue stone and is full of character. There is an abundance of rainwater storage which is plumbed to the kitchen with mains water to the remainder.
An entertainer’s delight, Sandergrove offers a unique lifestyle in a rural setting, only 30 kilometres from the Fleurieu coast and an hour from the city of Adelaide.
