Here is a hidden jewel on the outskirts of Mount Barker – You can live close to town and all its amenities but still live a semi-rural lifestyle.
The street appeal of this home extends further than you would imagine. The parkland front garden, a balance of native and exotic plants showcased in lawn, sets the scene for what’s instore.
As you travel up the driveway to the quality designed, built and well-maintained brick home you will think you are in a botanical garden or straight from the pages of ‘House and Garden’.
Built in 1986 the home was designed with the family in mind with a central semi open plan central kitchen dining living area, linking into a spacious sunroom flowing into the patio and back garden. Great for entertaining or for quiet days reading a book absorbing the tranquility of the garden.
The country style kitchen will please the home chefs and cater for the family’s needs.
The main bedroom is very generously sized has an ensuite, a large built-in robe and a bay window with a day bed (with storage) ideal for your morning coffee or reading a book.
The second bedroom has been utilised for an office with NBN connected here.
The third bedroom is a spacious studio room with its own entry and bathroom. This would be great for intergenerational families such as those with independent elderly parents or young adults living at home.
The sizeable laundry will deal with the family’s washing and there is a separate toilet easily assessable from the garden via the mud room or drying/storage area for veggies (like pumpkins and garlic). Maybe this room is where your dog will sleep?
Take in the serenity and rural backdrop from the covered patio allowing you to relax looking over the cottage gardens and absorbing the tranquility of this little piece of paradise.
The garden also consists of formed veggie garden beds, espaliered netted fruit trees and other fruit trees including avocados and olives. There are compost bays and other garden infrastructure that needs to be seen to be appreciated. There’s even a dam!
There is something for all the family including a large workshop (approx. 10x8m) with double sliding doors, power connected, concrete floor and divided into three sections, one being a wine or produce cellar.
An art studio previously used for pottery has great light and would be suitable for any pursuit.
This property also has solar power fed back to the grid, rainwater tanks and on scheme water so you can work towards being more sustainable and self-sufficient.
Whether you are raising a family or retiring here this property will allow you to live a rural lifestyle but only minutes’ drive from town.
