This magical Hills property in the heart of Aldgate Village is straight from the pages of a fairytale and offers sensational lifestyle opportunities only limited by your imagination. Nestled in a secret woodland setting of 1350 sqm (approx) with discreet high-street frontage and main access at the rear; rare Neighborhood Zoning allows exciting mixed use of the two-dwelling property for retail, tourism, office and residential purposes.

Presently operating as South Australias Favourite B&B, (as featured in the 200th episode of Discover SA), and a chauffeured Mustang business, as well as an idyllic home to the present owners and their young family, the property is also well set up for the car enthusiast with a superb auto double garage, two carports and additional parking for two more vehicles.

Dating from about 1925, the main three-bedroom home is sited towards the rear of the terraced, hillside property where it is surrounded by all of natures colours and sounds while retaining a wealth of character features including high ceilings, open fireplaces and lustrous Baltic Pine floors.

Entering from a sweeping veranda at the rear, the vibrant kitchen places an emphasis on fun and function with stainless steel splash backs and appliances together with an eclectic mix of storage including an overhead pot rack and floating glass shelving.

From the cozy ambience of the generous central lounge, the focus is drawn through French doors to the long, glass-wrapped family room, delivering captivating woodland outlooks down to the picturesque B&B cottage nestled on the banks of babbling Aldgate Creek.

Choose from three double bedrooms including the super-spacious master that further benefits from premium built-in storage and a full heritage-style ensuite, also accessible from the sunny orange nursery. A second bathroom is sleek and contemporary with a tactile pebble floor.

Slip out through the slate-tiled office to access 40 sqm of under-house cellarage and meander through the lush, stone-terraced gardens to reach the picturesque cottage retreat nestled on the banks of Aldgate Creek. Built in 2005, it is currently operating as a profitable B&B, providing 70 sqm of high-end, short-stay lodging and is offered fully furnished. Ideal too as luxurious guest or teen accommodation, the mezzanine double bedroom has access to a private balcony while a luxurious contemporary bathroom with a corner spa bath is off the spacious open plan living area. Highlights here include built-in audiovisual entertainment, an intriguing open eco-fire and French door access to the main creek-side deck; complete with C-Bus home automation and reverse cycle air conditioning.

The beautiful woodland gardens are a wonderland for children and parents alike. Here a fish-stocked wishing well; there a quaint footbridge, with exuberant under-plantings of tree ferns, camellias, rhododendrons and hydrangeas, all lit for extended night-time enjoyment.

Adjacent the main house, a two-level terrace provides a secure and well-equipped childrens play area including a sunken trampoline, cubby and slippery dip, as well as a sail-cloth covered entertaining area with convenient access from the family room.

The versatility of both dwellings enables you to continue the B&B as a going concern or quite simply provide ample accommodation via its combined 5 – 6 bedrooms for the extended family whether it be grandma when she comes to visit or the perfect teenager’s retreat. The possibilities are endless.

In harmony with its surrounds, yet just a short but breathtaking drive to excellent local schools, fashionable Stirling and freeway access to the urban delights of the city (about 20 minutes); this Hills paradise will nurture your dream lifestyle and is a must-see to appreciate all of its wonderful attributes.
