Just North of Macclesfield in the Flaxley area, this magnificent and highly unique rural property offers the ultimate in Hills living being just 35 minutes from the city, ten minutes from the regional centre of Mt Barker and just a short drive to the major tourist destination of Hahndorf.

Perfectly positioned in a quiet, sheltered valley which forms part of the Kidman Trail, and approximately 39.78ha (98.25ac) in size, the glorious gum-studded land is currently used for cattle grazing, horse keeping and hay cutting but would also accommodate any number of farming pursuits.

The most impressive residence is a superb blend of character and modern convenience with the original sandstone bungalow circa 1910 retaining a pleasing array of period features whilst showcasing a contemporary, light and loving renovation. The home has 4 generously sized bedrooms, 2 stylish bathrooms, formal lounge and a huge open plan family/kitchen/dining area with 10′ ceilings a highlight of which is a massive hand-crafted stone feature wall. This room opens to a stunning timber 2 tier deck which overlooks the sparkling solar heated swimming pool and provides the perfect venue to entertain family and friends and to just simply sit and admire the lovely country outlook. There is both slow combustion heating and reverse-cycle airconditioning, excellent storage provision, tasteful use of colour, quality appointments, sumptuous decor and meticulous attention to detail in all areas.

Outside, the land has been fenced (all electric) into 10 paddocks, and the comprehensive infrastructure includes
4 sheds, 2 stables with yards, steel cattleyards with ramp and crush, a roundyard and an Olympic size dressage arena (of note; a quiet riding track is located just a short distance from the property). Water is supplied by 25,000 gallons of rainwater storage, 2 dams, a bore and the Angas River runs the entire length of the property and flows all year round.

The grounds have been beautifully landscaped to compliment the gorgeous setting which would impress even the most discerning.
