Welcome to the land of mellow fruitfulness; forty acres of olive groves, vineyards, orchards and pastures whose crowning glory is a grand bluestone homestead circa 1989, garnering rolling gum-studded vistas as far as the eye can see.

Savour the scenic thirty minute drive from the CBD as you meander through historic townships, and autumn?s fiery display to reach this glorious Adelaide Hills property, serenely located off a no-through road.

The driveway skirts velvety lawns to deliver you seamlessly into an auto double garage with access to extensive cellarage, a handy powder room and the five-bedroom residence above.

Guests will feel the sense of occasion as they climb the steps to the sweeping colonial veranda; the gateway to the stylish uncluttered interior where an abundance of windows and French doors maximizes natural light and country outlooks.

The inter-connecting lounge and dining rooms are tastefully dressed with ornate ceilings, sparkling chandeliers and beautiful full-length drapes, while the family room is simple and relaxed with a slate-tiled floor. Open fireplaces are warming highlights of both.

Between the living spaces, the beautifully worked timber kitchen features a walk-in pantry and a mighty dual fuel, cast iron range on which to cook wholesome home-grown produce from the vegetable garden and orchard where peaches, chestnuts, walnuts, apricots, lemons and oranges, to name but some, thrive in fruitful abundance.

A sumptuously carpeted sleeping wing houses four king-sized double bedrooms boasting premium timber built-in storage with provision for a fifth in the spacious study. Two enjoy ensuite access to a modern bathroom with twin vanities, while the impressive master bedroom suite is luxuriously appointed with French doors to the rear veranda, a capacious walk-in robe and a awesomely large, porcelain tiled, full ensuite bathroom. A third bathroom is off the family-sized laundry.

Farnham road divides the land into two sections. Behind the homestead are 500 vines of mixed varietals including Shiraz, Grenache, Cabernet and some unnamed French whites; more than enough to make a good drop and 500 olive treesin the fully irrigated groves above. A further 20 acres of undulating grazing paddocks rest across the road with the Western Branch creek running through, enough land to comfortably run 10 to 15 head of cattle or use as agricultural purposes.

Water is in plentiful supply with two rainwater tanks totalling approximately 50,000 gallons servicing the homestead plus a dam and bore with three-phase power to pump water around the property.

Other improvements include a cattle yard with a shelter, wood store and double iron garage with a carport on the side.

Live the country life you?ve always dreamed on this idyllic property where your closest neighbours number artisans, cheese-makers and vignerons, just minutes to the local communities of Woodside, Lobethal and Oakbank, and 15 to boutique shopping and fine dining at vibrant Stirling.
