Renovated fastidiously and extensively throughout by its current owners - including new bathrooms and a gourmet entertainer's kitchen - and offering a private and serene lifestyle, this beautiful Sylvan botanic park property is a very rare find.

Situated on approximately 16,500sqm (approximately 1.65 hectares or 4 acres), this property features glorious gardens of exotic and native trees and mass plantings of gorgeous roses, camellias, shrubs, seasonable bulbs and perennials and plays host to an array of birds, as well as the occasional koala and kangaroo.

Here in a pristine environment away from the crowds, with walled garden pathways, expansive lawns, vegetable plots, a chicken run, a fully fenced paddock for livestock and even your own pine forest, you could live in this piece of paradise and feed your own family for months without leaving home.

Zoned primary produce, you could keep a pony, goats or sheep. The entire garden is serviced by an automatic watering system which is fully supplied by a superbly functioning bore on the property.

Just 20 minutes drive from the CBD of Adelaide and within minutes to the picturesque villages of Aldgate, Stirling and Bridgewater and all they have to offer, this contemporary style home sits in one of the prettiest pockets in the Adelaide Hills, at the end of a long driveway edged in fragrant roses and flowering shrubs.

Once inside, it is immediately apparent that the current owners love to entertain! The spacious white porcelain tiled entrance leads to a large study/lounge on one side and a massive light filled family living room on the other which includes a separate dining area. Adjacent to this, is a designer kitchen finished with diamond hard two pack high-gloss finish, granite benchtops and European appliances.

A door from the dining area opens on to a fully tiled alfresco balcony/patio area, perfect for easy entertaining and overlooking the property's forest canopy of birch and pine trees.
Also on this level is a huge and fabulous second living room with a gas heated fireplace, a wall of bookshelves and French doors opening onto a spacious balcony with a beautiful view of the property. This room could be used as a fourth bedroom, a guest suite or a movie theatre. It opens into the front study and a powder room.

A staircase at the rear of the entrance foyer leads the upstairs and downstairs levels.
The flexible floorplan allows for up to five large bedrooms but the current owners have reserved the upstairs rooms for their own private retreat.

The main bedroom suite includes a balcony, ensuite bathroom and a walk-in dressing room. The second bedroom also has its private balcony. The third room is currently used as an additional dressing room but could easily be converted back into a fifth bedroom or a nursery. Both these rooms are serviced by a second bathroom with a spa bath.

On the lower level there is an independent living suite. It incorporates a massive bedroom/living room with a marble fireplace and a gas heater. This room opens onto an undercover large tiled verandah and an extensive lawn. Next to the bedroom/living room is a full sized second kitchen with granite benchtops and a separate dining area. Adjacent to this is a sizable utility room that leads to a wine cellar and a fully functioning sauna. There is a hot tub on the adjoining verandah. This huge space is perfect for a teenage pad, a granny flat or for visiting friends.

This immaculate home of approx 560sqm features ducted reverse cycle air conditioning. The tiled roof contains a 5.88 kWp solar panel system (25 panels) with a feed-in tariff rate of 60 cents per kWh. There is garaging for up to four cars.

Adjacent to the entrance is a large fishpond with water lilies and a small fountain.
There are large sheds for garden equipment, storage and livestock shelter. The property has a creek running across its northern boundary. Beyond the distant eastern fence, shielded from the house by trees and shrubbery, runs the Heysen Trail.

Hills' estates of this size, quality and ambience, so close to the city, come onto the market just occasionally in a generation. Please call Chrissy Esau on 0419 992 313 to arrange a private inspection of this amazing oasis in the Adelaide Hills.
