For Sale Via Best Offers By The 17th November @ 2PM
With the land being in the same family for more than 170 years, this is a rare and remarkable opportunity to secure a piece of the tightly held Piccadilly Valley.
Set amongst the celebrated vineyards of the Adelaide Hills, with neighbouring Shaw + Smith and DAOSA/Terre a Terra forming part of its distinguished surrounds, the property occupies a landscape defined by rolling countryside, established vines and a deep connection to the land.
Situated privately beyond the road, the veranda wrapped two-storey residence rests embraced by 28 years of carefully cultivated gardens. More than 150 exotic trees and shrubs form a living tapestry around the home, shifting with the seasons and creating a world of remarkable seclusion, where time seems to move a little slower.
Inside, the home unfolds with a sense of warmth and enduring character. The upper level belongs entirely to the master retreat, where walk-in robes, ensuite and separate study create a peaceful sanctuary above the gardens. On the lower level, there are three bedrooms, garden room and sitting room (snug), inviting both relaxation and quiet moments.
Open-plan kitchen, living and dining extend towards the landscape through a north facing wall of windows, drawing the outdoors into everyday life. Nine-foot ceilings, ornate cornices and skirtings, Western Red Cedar windows and a feature combustion fireplace speaks to the home's timeless charm, while a five-zone Daikin ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans provide modern comfort throughout.
Beyond the rear verandah, the landscape becomes its own kind of luxury. A tranquil dam reflects the changing sky, its waters alive with visiting birdlife. Kangaroos graze, koalas settle among the trees, kookaburras call from above, and possums emerge as the light fades. On occasion, even deer pass quietly through this extraordinary natural setting.
For those drawn to a life with room to roam, the grounds offer both freedom and function. A 40m x 20m horse arena, extensive fencing and substantial shedding provide an exceptional foundation for equestrian pursuits, machinery, treasured collections and creative endeavours. Timber decking overlooking the dam offers a place to pause, take in the view and simply be present.
Beneath its natural beauty lies an impressive level of infrastructure, including established irrigation, substantial water storage and a high-yielding bore. A 12m x 6m garage with mezzanine, workshop, carport and three-phase power further enhance the property's versatility, balancing its pastoral charm with the practicalities of country living.
Now, the next chapter awaits. A place to gather, to grow, to explore and to leave your own mark upon a property that has already lived a remarkable story.
