If you’re looking for great family living with entertainment options year-round, this impressive property on the outskirts of Hahndorf is a ‘must’ inspect. When it comes to value, the numbers here are exceptional. With five big bedrooms – all queen-plus size – and all with walk-in wardrobes; and three bathrooms, there’s room for a growing family. With all the entertainment options indoors and out, it is also extremely likely your guests may want to stay the weekend (or for a week), and there’s certainly room for them too.
After raising three boys at Lot 18 Paechtown Road, the vendors have now returned to Queensland. Selling agent Trent Shorland believes if this property can survive three boys and still manage to look stylish… “it can survive just about anything!”
The feeling of size and space doesn’t just rest within the rendered brick homestead. With the property situated on the rear boundary, there are 12 acres of fully fenced pastured rural land surrounding the home on three sides; north, west and south. The view, which extends for miles, is just extra icing on the value cake. There are some extremely clever design ideas that make this home such a great entertainer. For example, bedrooms are located in one wing and the gamesroom (converted from a double garage) is at the other end of the house. The kitchen, formal dining and large living room separates ‘rest’ from ‘play’ and the huge undercover entertainment area with eight-person heated spa is also conveniently located away from the bedrooms.
Everything that could possibly add to practical design and simple enjoyment, has been done. There are external powerpoints and taps right where you could want them, a surround-sound speaker system inside and out, ample lighting to the undercover pergola, a sink in the gamesroom’s bar, pendant lighting over the billiard table, and a security alarm system in both the house and the lock-up 18×7 Colorbond shed.
For convenience and comfort inside the house such touches as Italian tiles, heated towel rails, floating timber floors, four toilets, ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, gas heating plus a slow-combustion stove all work towards making this property one of the best-value family homes available in the Hills.
A huge double Rosieres oven lends a European style to the kitchen and gives a ‘wow’ factor to the kitchen/living area. There is a walk-in pantry big enough to sustain the most well-stocked larder and backing on to the kitchen, again conveniently placed in the laundry, is a second alcove suitable for an extra fridge/freezer.
True family living needs flexibility. Here there are many options. Teenagers may well nag their parents to convert the gamesroom into a special ‘teenager’s retreat’… perhaps the parents can just send them to convert the hayshed instead!
In the cooler months, younger children can enjoy a special carpeted playroom of their own, conveniently located between the dining and gamesroom – close enough to keep a watchful eye. But during summer, it will be a struggle to keep kids indoors and luckily, this home can keep youngsters entertained while their parents are enjoying life under the pergola. The landscaped gardens are fully fenced to keep both children and pets safe and secure. There is a lovely sprawling lawn area at the front of the property, however the kids are more likely to stay at the back to enjoy the cubby house, lawn and sand pit. They may also like to dig in the vegie patch!
Finally, to complete the value equation, there are four rainwater tanks holding about 30,000 gallons of rainwater storage. There is also a dam, bore and a biocycle system used for the gardens which run on an automated watering system.
The property would run a few sheep or cows, and one of the paddocks has a gentler slope that makes it suitable for horses. Lot 18 is accessed via sealed roads and is about five minutes from the centre of Hahndorf, and around 20 minutes from Adelaide via the South Eastern Freeway.
Perhaps the only thing missing from this home is a pool – if you want one. But during your inspection, stand and admire the view of the Hills and imagine a swimming pool in all this flat, elevated space. Conveniently once again, there are no deciduous trees to drop leaves in the water. See, this really is a property that doesn’t miss a trick.
Property now tenanted for 6 months or until April 2012 for $750/week.
