Hidden from view & situated in one of the most picturesque & un-spoilt corners of the Barossa, this beautifully restored circa 1860 settler’s cottage on 20 acres (8.39 hectares) enjoys a magnificent natural setting nestled on its private hillside with awe inspiring views of hills, valleys & majestic towering gums, a pocket of authentic Australian landscape to escape to, abundant in native beauty & wildlife.

With the North Para River forging its way through the terrain below, this historic home has seen many a season since the tough old days of the early pioneers. Built of local stone & tenderly restored, the cottage is a picture sitting high on the hill. A verandah to the front overlooks the valley below & a marvelous old deciduous tree sprawls & shades the natural slate courtyard to the rear.

The cottage will captivate you, like something out of a fairytale, with so many of its original features intact. A natural stone chimney, fire place & vaulted ceiling are found in the lounge room with casement windows, exposed beams, red gum door frames, white washed walls & natural slate flooring throughout. The kitchen offers modern conveniences within its Baltic pine cabinetry, there’s two queen sized bedrooms & a timber extension to the rear, where the wet areas are charmingly positioned.

Restored original stone outbuildings are equipped with power, light & may suit conversion to guest accommodation (stcc) reserving the 6m x 7m colour bond shed for vehicle & equipment storage. A stock dam plus 40,000 gallons of rainwater sees a generous supply of water retained at the property.

If you’ve been talking about getting away from it all to a place where you can forget about the world beyond, then this hideaway is the getaway you need, a place to retreat to, to recharge & rejuvenate immersed in birdsong & the natural sounds of the rural bush.
