This is the perfect landscape – a glorious vision on 100 acres (40 hectares) of magnificent grazing country just minutes from the vineyards and restaurants of the McLaren Vale wine growing district and an easy 45 minute drive south of Adelaide along the new Southern Expressway.
“Wahroonga” is immaculate in every possible way, from the beautifully presented 20 year old master built homestead to the exceptionally well managed property divided into seven paddocks with electric fencing.
The residence with its wide return verandahs is set in gorgeous landscaped gardens, playing host to beautiful blue wrens. Floor to ceiling windows throughout the home take in lush paddocks, trout filled dams and the distant rolling hills of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula to Mt Compass. Sitting at the dining room table, it is not uncommon to see fallow deer in the adjoining eight hectare woodlot of Tasmanian Blue Gum, Sydney Blue Gum, Sugar Gum, Flood Gum, Spotted Gum and Blackwood.
The homestead comprises four bedrooms, with 3.5 bathrooms and a delightful mix of formal and informal living spaces including a formal sitting room, dining room with built-in bar and a fully equipped craftsman-built kitchen with Blackwood joinery, granite benchtops and stainless steel appliances.
The fourth bedroom with ensuite is currently being used as billiard room and would lend itself perfectly to either guest or teenage accommodation. The home enjoys reverse cycle air conditioning (mainly used for winter warming) while summer breezes across the elevated pastures mean cooling is rarely required. For added peace of mind, the home is fully alarmed. Other features include ducted vacuuming, a 40 square metre wine cellar dug into a hillside with an adjoining entertainment pavilion with seating room for more than 150 enjoying spectacular views across the property. There is also parking under the main roof for two cars.
Among the many other features of the property is a delightful western red cedar self-contained one room cottage (reminiscent of an old Hunting Lodge) nestled below mature gums in a far corner of the property and currently used for family and guests alike. There is excellent shedding in the form of two galvanised iron/steel framed sheds – one fully enclosed with concrete floor measuring 18m x 9m x 3m, and the other an implement/hay shed measuring 18m x 9m x4m with an earth floor.
To further compliment the property, there is an excellent set of steel cattle yards complete with crush and loading ramp. The property is stocked with prime steers on an annual rotation.
The property has three large dams – one of which supplies water to header tanks used to supply water to the paddocks and gardens (including a fully fenced orchard and vegetable garden).
“Wahroonga” is located on the crest of Willunga Hill, five minutes from the wineries and restaurants of the famed Southern Vales wine growing region and eight minutes to some of the State’s best beaches.
Luxurious lifestyle living at its very best!
