Gorgeous 3 bedroom stone coach house with all the charm of a Tuscan Villa surounded by manicured gardens and the biggest hedge maze in S.A. Together with a fabulous studio or work from home facilities, this is a unique lifestyle or business venture property for those with a love of special gardens.

An easy commute to the Adelaide CBD, this unique and beautiful property on the fringe of Kersbrook township is the quintessential rural idyll you’ve been dreaming of. Artists, artisans, garden lovers and romantics will all feel a special affinity here.

It’s a setting that would not be out of place in the Cotswolds or Provence, holiday destinations that supplied much of the inspiration for the pretty three-bedroom coachouse and sculpted Australian natives that make up breathtaking parterres and frame fountains, pathways, lawns and rolling countryside views.

A detached artist’s studio with three-phase power, water, shuttered skylights and timber floors offers a huge autonomous space in which to explore creative pursuits or, perhaps, B & B accommodation, subject to council consent.

Fine cast-jointed gates announce the semicircular driveway that sweeps around to the main house, a delectable confection of Wistow stone, expressive leadlight and gothic stable doors, topped off with a cupola and weathervane.

Inside, joinery is by cabinet makers Barrie McBride and there are no cold corridors; rather, rooms flow off a central open-plan living area where a gorgeous hardwood kitchen and slow combustion stove provide a warm and hospitable welcome.

Three double bedrooms include a spacious master with tall timber built-ins and the sleekest of ensuites featuring a frameless slumped-glass shower screen and elliptical counter-top basin.
With exterior double-door access to all main spaces and plumbing provision for a commercial kitchen in the third bedroom/home office, the design offers ultimate flexibility including use of the whole as a function centre.

From inside, as out, views of the manicured native gardens awaken the senses. Start your day with breakfast under the wrought iron arbour wreathed in Pandora Alba, where you will soon make friends with cheeky blue wrens and the colourful parrots that bathe in the fountain.

Beyond the lych-gate, lose yourself in a lillypilly maze to rival Hampton Court’s, which, thankfully, is maintained by a vineyard pruner. With a kilometer of teasing pathways, large central lawn and adjacent paddock parking, this could provide income as a unique wedding venue or adventure odyssey.

Gentle rolling pasture, suitable for cattle and horses, makes up the rest of this glorious 20-acre property which comes with a limitless water supply pumped from two dams. Complete with garden watering system and ample sheds including garaging for at least four vehicles; Coachwood will delight, amaze and inspire in a way no other property ever will.
