The 112 acres known as U.P. Farm has an extraordinary natural beauty and has been developed with great care.
To gain perspective, this undulating
Kuitpo property of fertile soils and plentiful water lies serenely about one hours drive south of Adelaide. It is just a few minutes from the Hills township of Meadows and below, 15 minutes away, is McLaren vale. The farm’s soils, drainage and sunny aspect has enabled its vineyards to produce grapes of the highest quality.
Inclusion in Penfolds Yattarna
(White Grange) is testament to this. There are some 16 acres of Pinot Noir and 16 of Chardonnay.
As vineyards occupy only a little over a quarter of the farm there is ample scope (a further 80 acres) for other uses. There are pastures which can be grazed and a fenced irrigated pony paddock.
A large netted orchard contains a variety of apples, citrus, cherries, plums and pears. There are a number of maturing wood lots. Bore water for irrigation is supplied from a large dam. Plentiful water for stock is provided by two additional dams, and two creeks meander through the property. Large rainwater tanks supply the house.
But the jewel in the crown has to be the estate’s residence. Stunning views stretch out as far as the eye can see. Seamlessly the riotous colour of the gardens layers into swaying Poplars and tall Red Gums to hills in the distance."Bringing the outside into the equally stunning interiors was the priority for this hardwood home" say selling agents of First National Real Estate Pope Nitschke. "Huge unencumbered walls of picture windows ensures this".
Open plan living areas (and there are several) flow over Spotted Gum timber floors warmed by a central combustion fire, to the outdoor decking and semi enclosed verandahs. The large conservatory is a special peace filled space.
The kitchen, with granite bench tops and Tasmanian oak paneling and cupboards, is strategically located for entertaining. The bedrooms are best described as "wings".
They comprise three large bedrooms, a "robe" room or nursery and a study/office with separate outside access – a perfect setting for a home office, professional or treatment room (subject to required consents).
Nearby in the garden is a gazebo which could serve as an additional bedroom or an office.
Presently it is used for meditation. Parking is ample at the homestead and there is a double garage with attached work room.
A wine cellar is built into a nearby hill.
Relaxing in the Conservatory with a glass of wine at the end of a busy day, watch the brilliant sunset colours reflected into the eastern sky.
Frequent visitors will include blue wrens, black cockatoos, kangaroos, eagles, koalas and laughing kookaburras.
Just another day in Paradise.
