Overview
A beautiful country life, cultivated over 28 enchanting acres…
A stone-fronted ode to bygone era, etched into some 28 acres of Jupiter Creek countryside, this generous family home puts a handsome face to the prospect of keeping horses, eating from your own garden and finally having somewhere for every grand plan.
Held by the same owners for 28 years, its established gardens, seven paddocks and stone-fronted residence tell the story of a country life patiently cultivated, right down to the orchard that decides what's in season and the shedding that gives every project somewhere to happen.
Built by Colony Homes in 1998, the home takes its architectural lead from the Federation villa, bringing the character of another century to a generous family footprint with up to five bedrooms, multiple living zones and a self-contained wing.
Beneath its terracotta roof, patterned tessellated tiles, coloured glass and three-metre ceilings give the home a convincing sense of heritage, carried from its decorative frontage into rooms of generous proportions.
The formal living spaces offer somewhere to settle away from the daily bustle, while the open-plan heart keeps the kitchen, conversation and long views across the property firmly together.
A main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite gives you a retreat within the larger footprint, with the freedom to keep a fifth bedroom or claim a study for the days when work follows you home.
The self-contained wing makes that footprint all the more valuable, giving grandparents, grown children or visiting family the independence of their own space and the pleasure of being close. Kitchen included.
Head to the paddocks to check the horses, put the grass dressage arena and round yard through their paces or turn your attention to the three partially completed stables, ready for someone to see the project through.
The extensive shedding has its own pulling power, giving tinkerers, collectors and anyone with a tractor, trailer or ambitious weekend project the space to spread out, backed by three-phase power.
Then there's the slower satisfaction of the garden, where established vegetable beds, a productive orchard and the chicken coop make heading out for something fresh a daily ritual worth keeping.
Rainwater storage, dam-fed irrigation and two solar systems put substance behind the self-sufficient aspirations, with a combustion fire waiting inside when a day on the land ends with muddy boots at the door.
All within reach of Echunga's village conveniences and Mount Barker's wider shopping and services, giving the family every reason to make the country move and very few reasons to interrupt a good day at home.
