This property is ideal for anyone seeking a lifestyle change.
Located on approx. 12,000 sqm over 2 titles and situated in the Gilbert Valley, this country home
is only half an hour from Gawler, 20 minutes from Kapunda and 45 minutes from Clare, it
offers both convenience and privacy. It sits between the Barossa and Clare Valley with
easy access to those fabulous food and wine regions.
The steel frame house was built in 2005 and an extension added in 2015 to make a 3
bedroom, 2 bathroom home. There is a north facing outdoor sunroom which is screened
to provide the perfect place to sit on a winter's day.
On the southern side is a screened plant filled conservatory (BYO plants) which is a
delightful spot to enjoy a barbeque, have a glass of wine and entertain friends on a
summer's evening.
You enter the home by a sitting area currently used as a library. The main living area
has cathedral ceilings and is temperature controlled by a split system a/c but also
enjoys natural cross ventilation from the placement of the north and south semi-outdoor
areas and the strategically placed ceiling fans. As the warm air rises on the northern
side, a cooler evening breeze is drawn in from the south. There is also a slow
combustion heater to warm chilly evenings and a plentiful wood supply from a wood lot
and fallen timber.
The 3 bedrooms are each serviced by a split system a/c. The master bedroom has
space for either stand alone wardrobes or to have a built-in installed. Bedroom 2 has a
WIR and bedroom 3 has a BIR.
The property was a bare block when the owners purchased it but there has been a
program of planting of thousands of native trees and shrubs endemic to the region,
creating substantial windbreaks to protect from the northerly winds. The western section
of the property has been regenerated as native bushland with walking tracks throughout
and an open area which would work well for outdoor activities.
There is the opportunity to be partially self-sufficient. The home has solar hot water and
the owners installed a new large solar system and a 12kW battery in 2022 .The owners
have not paid an electricity bill since. While the property is on mains water with a
number of taps connected to the main supply throughout the property, there are also
substantial rain water tanks plumbed into the house and to water the garden.
In the vegetable garden there are both raised beds and in-ground beds, a 18ftx12ft
glass house, a shaded area, a chook yard and an orchard. Fruit trees include grapes,
quinces, pomegranates, nectarine, figs, pears, 4 types of apples and 2 types of plums.
There is room to extend the orchard which is watered by the envirocycle septic system.
Outside the house there is a storage shed and a shed for the ride-on mower and
maintenance equipment.
The property is only 10 minutes from Hamley Bridge where there is a primary school,
general store, medical clinic and pharmacy. School buses run past the property to
access Riverton or Balaklava senior schools. Tarlee Primary school is only 7kms down
the road.
This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a rural lifestyle with no neighbours while having
easy access to all facilities for modern living.
