“Make an Offer” (you could be pleasantly surprised)’Yupiri’ Aboriginal for Fertile Soils, has almost 100 years of history nestled in the lush, rolling farm land of Greenhills. The 53 acre property is peppered with established gums trees and shrubs. Around the home there are many garden rooms bursting with colour. The original home C1918 has seen major renovation yet still oozes the charm and character of yesterday. The two-storey home was originally timber framed and has now been Hebel paneled and rendered. The colour scheme of the home blends well with the greys and mustards of the native trees around the home. Located at the front of the property is an inviting timber deck which steps up to the front entrance and private hall from where the magnificent home opens out before you. On the lower level there are three bedrooms, one currently being utilized as a study. Large picture windows allow plenty of natural light and invite the outside in. Polished timber floors, 10ft decorative ceilings, antique light fittings, lead light and timber touches are features of the lower level. The main bathroom is well appointed and blends well with the character of the home having original shower over bath and pedestal basin. A very appealing timber kitchen enjoys under bench cupboards, plenty of bench space, walk in pantry room, Omega dishwasher, gas cook top and oven with microwave alcove above. The main feature is the bench to ceiling windows providing a seamless view to the garden. Casual dining opens from the kitchen which spills to an open and relaxing everyday living room. A timber staircase meanders up to the second storey which enjoys a beautiful view to the sand dunes of the Coorong and everything in between. The formal sitting area opens to a decked balcony, the ideal place to sit on a balmy summers evening and enjoy the gully breezes and views. There are also two double size bedrooms located upstairs, both enjoying direct access to the spacious ensuite bathroom and shelved walk in robe. An indoor balcony is a unique addition. Again there are large hopper windows giving the feeling of being in a floating tree house. The laundry with third toilet is located at the rear of the home. Outside, the gently sloping garden surrounds the home. This garden has been years in the making. A fishpond trickles down to the backdoor with meandering garden paths leading through the garden stopping at many spots to enjoy or reflect on the day. A cozy pergola is located off the casual living room; this is a private and protected area where many Christmas dinners have been enjoyed. Under planting gives the feeling of a magical fairy garden while the established trees tower above. An extensive veggie garden includes many herbs and various vegetables ready for dinner or a quick salad. Fruit trees are in full blossom and include almost too many to mention, orange, pears, nectarine, apples, berries, quince. Fascinating trees such as a Smoke Tree, Maples, Boobealla, Liquid Ambers, Sheoaks, Judas tree, Oak and many more provide depth and contrast colour to this organic garden. Free range chooks explore the various, original chook sheds. There is good storage in the disused dairy which still features the red brick flooring and timber frame. The property is waterproofed with over 100,000 litres of rain water for the home. A winter creek and 3 spring fed dams from which water is pumped to a 100,000 litre header tank which gravity feeds to the beautiful garden. Good soil, good water = high productivity, ideal for grazing or any other agricultural purpose and two road frontages for ease of access. This is really a great Adelaide Hills property with 50 odd acres of rich fertile sweeping land. Your own country estate.
Ideally located within an easy drive to the city, beach, many hills wineries, cafes and country pubs, there are many hills treasures to discover and this property is one of them.
