"Rosemead" is making its debut on the open market. Located between Echunga and Meadows, it will appeal to you if you require a small parcel (6.5 acres) of usable land together with an appealing, solid, character home.
Upon inspection you will discover a home that has been lovingly renovated both inside and out, enabling you to enjoy the country lifestyle on offer. Natural light flows through the home. Lay in bed on a Sunday morning and watch the cattle grazing and the listen to the birdsong – truly tranquil.
The solid, stone fronted home was constructed in the late 1950′s.
It offers high ceilings, thick walls and therefore good insulation properties. The Wallspan kitchen is two years old and features a top of the range Westinghouse oven with a gas cook top. Storage space is generous and the jarrah floors add to the country style. The kitchen window overlooks the rear pergola and the garden beyond. The 3 generous bedrooms offer rural views and include built in robes. The bathroom has been renovated with stylish tiling and new fixtures and fittings. A second shower and toilet is located next to the small studio/ craft room.
The views from the lounge and dining room are exceptional. The Canon Canterbury gas log fire with its red gum mantel piece creates a cosy atmosphere throughout the home.
Throughout summer, on those very hot days, you can control the climate with the ducted evaporative cooling unit. The house has been completely rewired and replumbed to include an Enviro cycle septic system.
Once outdoors the benefits include a fabulous 7 x 5.5m2 pergola. Liquid Amber, Pinoak, Spruce and flowering plum are included in the Arboretum of deciduous trees in the front garden. A 9 x 6m2 double garage/workshop has power and concrete floor. Also included are chicken and dog runs. The land is divided into two, well fenced grazing paddocks, with a copse of Radiata Pine trees on the northern boundary. The paddocks are dotted with stately gums. The dam has been well positioned for water catchment and irrigates the entire garden all year round if required.
The second toilet also uses dam water. 50,000 litres of rainwater is plumbed to the house.
In conclusion, Rosemead is a desirable small holding suitable for the purchaser looking for a manageable lifestyle property
with an easy 15 minute drive to the South Eastern Freeway and the thriving nearby townships of Strathalbyn and Mount Barker.
