This piece of rural living is set on almost 7 acres and consists of a stone barn lovingly re-designed and converted into a spacious 4 bedroom home by Jan Nicholson. The restoration and garden design has been a magazine feature article. The sandstone walled home has wonderful architectural features, 2 huge living areas and plenty of room for a PC nook and kids’ retreat as well as a parents’ retreat!
The property is situated 3 kms from Stirling, yet feels like the country. There is plenty of room for parking, beautiful European garden and orchard surrounding the home with high quality native vegetation further afield.
The European garden has a constant floral display with lilacs, peonies, rhodendrons, camellias and roses flowering throughout the year.
It has been a project of love to revegetate around the dam and 2 creek lines. The half acre woodlot was planted 8 years ago to feed the home’s slow combustion heater so is ready for harvesting.
This home is almost self sufficient with its rainwater supply, bore and produce from the fruit orchard; Nashi and Packham pears, Tahitian limes, Satsuma plums, raspberries, blackberries, peacharines and numerous apple varieties. Put your own solar system in and your can exclude the outside world.
This veritable paradise has wildlife abounding; bandicoots, echidnas, kangaroos, 2 species of frogs and about 40 species of birdlife including the exquisite blue wren.
This glorious lifestyle is only 20 minutes from the GPO of Adelaide and is a must to be viewed and admired.
