LOCATION: The Adelaide Hills is where suburban drudgery ends & relaxing lifestyle begins & Basket Range is a small, friendly community only 15kms from the centre of Adelaide. The homestead is situated on roughly 7,487m2 of flat land with breathtaking views out over the valley below. Established landscaped gardens including a variety of mature trees & shrubs.

CHARACTER: The homestead was built circa 1920 with local stone & brick, with traditional return verandah, 12 foot ornate ceilings, leadlight window features, fire places in several rooms, broad central passageway & timber flooring. An old stone cottage with a fireplace stands nearby and has been partly renovated as a guest room/teen bedroom.

COMFORT: Over time the floorplan has been extended with 2 bedrooms & an en-suite bathroom created upstairs and downstairs a modern family room incorporating a new kitchen & a wrap around dining area & sun room. This wonderful space has polished timber floors, timber ceilings & a bank of windows to bring the garden & views to life. With ducted reverse cycle air conditioning & the huge slow combustion heater the home is comfortable all year long.

SPACE: The main bedroom has a fireplace & discreet French doors to the verandah – an ideal place to enjoy an intimate & private Sunday morning. Currently using 2 more huge rooms as bedrooms plus a separate home office with the spiral staircase in the corner. An elegant formal lounge or dining room could easily be achieved by reclaiming one of these bedrooms. The old cottage could easily become a games room or studio or keep it as it is for guests.

OUTDOORS: Abundant space for real lifestyle benefits. There is a 20′ x 20′ colour bond shed with power/light & concrete floor for the handyman; double carport to protect the vehicles; chook run & extensive veggie garden for fresh home produce along with a variety of fruit trees, ornamentals, roses & shrubs. A huge 30,000 gallon rainwater tank is supplemented by a reliable high quality supply from a neighbouring bore. The entertainment deck just wants you to sit, relax & take in the breathtaking view with a quiet drink.

POTENTIAL: There is plenty of scope to further enhance the unquestionable appeal of this home ONLY if you choose to do so. Perfectly comfortable as it is, you may wish to play with the floor plan to suit your own lifestyle & tastes.
