This block and charming weekender truly has the look, the feeling and the climate of North/West Italy.
Nestled inside the 4.98ha (12.3 acre) gently sloping grazing pasture is a beautifully cultured garden, rows and rows of passion fruit vines overlooked by an intriguingly designed week-end cottage with large living area, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Constructed of rammed earth, lined with native timbers, externally rendered in rich colours and shaded by overhanging roofs front and back. The gardens and passion fruit vines are reticulated using water from the numerous sheds and outbuildings, collected in a number of tanks. The house provides its own water from the roof and tank alongside. A new dam has recently been added.
The current owners have constructed a fully retained sand pad in preparation for a new house to be built and allow the weekender to be used for holiday accommodation or guests. The pad is oriented and elevated so as to take full advantage of the spectacular views of the Stirlings and the Porongurups.
Only 12 km from the schools, shops and commerce of Mount Barker but just like living in a little corner of Tuscany. MBB16P
