Grandiose Potential

Located in the heart of the Adelaide Hills with fantastic access to Adelaide and surrounding towns this expansive home has endless potential. The residence was originally built in 1930 and with further extensions in the mid ’70s it now is looking for the next owner to make it their own.

The property was originally owned and worked by the Military Cross recipient Senator Edward Mattner. It’s rumoured he pioneered summer potato cropping while also running a dairy, breeding fat lambs and growing subterranean clover.

Now approximately 55 acres is under vine whilst the remainder is fenced paddocks, dairy and stock yard, implement shed and stables, barn, huge 9 ML dam and the homestead surrounds.

The home itself has grand proportions with 822sqm under the main roof and 11 1/2 foot ceilings. 5 bedrooms allow for family and guests to enjoy their own space and all 3 bathrooms include toilet and shower, the large ensuite includes a bath.

The space to entertain or relax seems endless with rumpus (8.4 x 6.4) holding a full sized pool table, lounge and dining overlooking the Eastern and Southern garden respectively, family room with combustion heater, central theatre/study, Southern entrance hall with chandelier, Western foyer and upstairs retreat – that’s just for entertaining!!

There is a separate entrance for kitchen and meals room, butler’s pantry, cellar, storeroom, WIR to main bedroom, big laundry and verandah on all four sides. The solid structure is all double brick or stone keeping the home at a relatively constant temperature throughout the year whilst providing the new owner a chance to stamp their own personal flair on the property.

The vineyard includes 3 varieties of grape and is supplied by excellent quality and quantity water from the bore and dam. Stock yards and good draining paddocks (6 in total – 5 electrified) surround the majority of the homesteads gardens with 6 holding yards and shelters for horse or stock are sited near the stables. Access to all areas is easy with well-kept tracks and entrance gates.

The opportunity to acquire a property of 32 ha with a solid 572sqm home, in this sought after location, with income and the ability to create further income streams are few and far between. Given the location and current improvements, this offering could be turned into one of Adelaide Hills’ premier properties.
