Elderberry House
C1890 stone home on approx 16 acres, and hidden away in the picturesque Bull Creek valley, seamlessly has been left untouched with turn of the Century contemporary flair to create something truly exceptional. Superbly and tastefully restored by the current owner, this Historic stone faade home with return verandah is a benchmark by which other properties can be measured. From the moment you enter this home, you are captivated with a sense of Timeless Grandeur coupled with character highlights, including the wide central hallway long enough for a cricket pitch, the gleaming original timber flooring and ornate mantles surrounding the fire places. The elegant formal entrance with lofty 12ft high ceilings leads to four generous bedrooms. A modern contemporary inspired kitchen addition with plenty of bench space and slate floor is complimented by a new bathroom, boasting the original Claw Foot bath. The separate formal dining room reeks of history, as you can well image the telling of stories and memories of days gone by. The home sits peacefully on the banks of the meandering Bull Creek and alongside the 120year old oak tree and the last of the Elderberry trees. You will feel a sense of absolute exclusivity and tranquility as you stroll around the gardens and admire this beautiful, botanic environment, while listening to the water trickle passed.
Currently the property is well fenced into 4 main paddocks, with 5 horses grazing the land, cattle yards, crush and ramp. There is plenty of shedding, including a 50′ x 20′ hay shed and 65′ x 20′ workshop/garage, and the old stone milk room stands as a testament to time. Water is a huge asset here, with spring water from the creek, bore water and 12,000 gallons of rainwater.
Elderberry House is a very unique package, character home, pleasant creek setting, plenty of room to move and an abundance of water, situated in the beautiful Adelaide Hills only 35 minutes to the edge of Adelaide.
