Privately positioned on 5.5 acres at the edge of the popular hill's township of Macclesfield, this thoughtfully designed home will appeal to those seeking "The Good Life". The current owners are ready to hand this property over to the next custodians to care for and enjoy as much as they, and their family have, over the years.
The home was constructed in a 1980's architectural style with 2 split level living rooms leading to a gently terraced garden in the front and a covered pergola nestling into the L shaped house design at the rear. Both the eat in kitchen and the family room access the pergola creating an indoor/outdoor flow. Currently configured with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms , the 3 living zones plus the purpose built study mean there's flexibility with the floor plan if you are looking for extra bedrooms. The main bedroom offers beautiful garden views through a large picture window whilst bedrooms 2 and 3 are at the rear, adjacent to the family room, the second bathroom and small study.
This home will appeal to lovers of outdoor living. There's an in-ground pool (6m x3m) and 4 fenced paddocks to explore. The established gardens provide an abundance of summer shade not to mention a prolific amount of birdlife. Wander up to the rear paddock via the 2 sheds. The owners have kept alpacas in the past, together with hand raised sheep and a number of hens. A fully fenced veggie garden keeps the rabbits at bay. Fruit trees include apples, pears, plums, citrus plus macadamia and pecan trees. These are on a dripper system. The bore waters the garden, keeps the pool topped up and has its own power source.
From a sustainability perspective the 5 kw solar system has a current feed in tariff of 46c/kw. The house is orientated to make the most of the cool evening breezes in the summer months meaning the air conditioning is needed less frequently. The efficient slow combustion heater has been fuelled via the timber from the on site wood lot for the past 15 years during winter. Energy costs are therefore kept to a minimum.
The town of Macclesfield is known for its friendly, active community and has a village shop/café, post office and 2 pubs. It has a Primary School (10 minutes walk away) and dedicated buses ferry older kids to secondary schools in Mt Barker and Strathalbyn.
