This truly unique rural property is sited in the heart of “Steam Ranger” country, just a short drive to the local township of Macclesfield, 10 minutes to the regional centre of Mount Barker, and only 35 minutes to Adelaide via the South Eastern Freeway.

In an elevated position with no near neighbours and sheltered by imposing pine trees, this simply gorgeous stone settlers cottage circa 1895 has been lovingly restored with attention to detail, striking yet tasteful touches of colour and is full of magical charm. With a wealth of traditional features so highly sought after, the home has a gracious formal lounge with slow-combustion heater plus split-system RC airconditioner, 2 good-sized bedrooms, sitting room (or convert to dining, or potential for third bedroom), sunny character kitchen/meals area and elegant bathroom with a classic timber vanity.

Fenced into seven paddocks and approximately 3.14ha (7.7 acres) in size, the land offers plenty of room to keep your horse or farm animals, has two dams and a pretty area of natural bushland.

Plenty of shedding includes under-cover parking for 8 vehicles/workshop (the original dairy), hayshed, hen house and a woodshed. A very special feature is the historic red brick and stone outbuildings with pretty olde worlde climbing roses – quaint as can be!

A lovely paved area bordered by a vine-covered arbour, lush ferns and vibrant bouganvillea, is the perfect spot to entertain family and friends or just to sit and enjoy the peaceful location and fresh air.

Ample water is supplied by the main dam and approximately 35,000 gal rainwater storage.

Romantic cottage gardens bursting with colour and the most magnificent hillside views complete this perfect piece of nostalgic country living – a very rare opportunity not to be missed.

If you want to escape the Rat Race, in under an hour from Adelaide’s CBD, you could be sitting under a beautiful shade tree relaxing and taking in the peace and tranquility. Maybe you want to dabble in a bit of farming, grow some hay, maybe a flock of sheep, plant a woodlot, or start your own small business working from home. It is all possible here at Pursell Road.
