Yarraman Estate - Circa 1880
Step into a piece of South Australian history on the outskirts of Birdwood, a property with roots that run deep into Adelaide's storied past. Once the proud home of the West End Brewery's majestic Clydesdales, this enchanting estate now offers a unique blend of heritage, charm, and modern comforts.
Nestled at 8 McVitties Road, the property exudes rustic elegance with its stone villa, meticulously crafted in the 1880s. As you approach, you'll be captivated by the architectural beauty and rural tranquility that defines this remarkable estate. The stables, built to house the iconic draft horses, now stand as a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era, with their intricate stone masonry and exposed beams.
The main home boasts a harmonious blend of old-world charm and modern living. With four spacious bedrooms and two cosy living areas, it offers a perfect retreat after a day spent on your special parcel of land. The kitchen and dining area are a culinary enthusiasts dream, featuring a Belling cooker, Miele appliances, and wooden benchtops, all centered around a warm fireplace. The high, 12-foot ceilings and large windows invite natural light, while offering stunning views of the surrounding pastures.
For those seeking a more intimate escape, the attached Airbnb is a haven of comfort. Lovingly restored to preserve its heritage, it features a fully equipped kitchen, a super king bed, and a spa bath for ultimate relaxation. Whether you're here for a romantic getaway or a weekend adventure - potentially with a horse in tow, the Airbnb provides a serene sanctuary.
Equestrian enthusiasts will find themselves in paradise with the extensive facilities on offer. The property includes three stables, a full size sand arena, and additional stables - currently utilised for the pet cow "Dougie" - in the cow shed. Imagine hosting pony-themed birthdays or a dreamy "pony stay-cation" where you and your horse can enjoy a weekend of riding, relaxation, and connection.
Outside, the estate unfolds with lush garden beds, a greenhouse, and wide-open spaces that invite you to explore and unwind. Whether it's a glass of wine by the indoor fireplace or an evening by the outdoor fire pit, Stables on Eight offers a lifestyle that's as rich in history as it is in possibilities.
With its ideal location, just minutes from major wineries, markets, and the Birdwood National Motor Museum, this property is a gateway to all the wonders of the Adelaide Hills. Yarraman Estate isn't just a home; it's a living legacy, waiting for its next chapter. Will you be the one to write it?
