Where heaven and earth meet on fertile soil, discover a renovated and extended piece of dairy history-inviting self-sufficiency or hobby farm pursuits.
Equipped with a bore, water licence, cherry orchard, and redgum plantation, the paddocks are fully irrigated and troughed, ready for grazing up to 50 sheep (plus lambs) or a sideline in hay-baling.
Modern yet sympathetic to its century-old stone form, the villa's north-facing rear addition delivers a second living zone, family meals area and timber-topped kitchen, warmed by a cosy combustion fire.
The villa honours its charm with calming hues, original timber and floating floors, and every essential modern comfort. A former sleepout has been transformed into a sparkling ensuite and walk-in robe for the main bedroom, while the family bathroom-anchored by a deep bath-pairs contemporary top-to-toe tiling with discreet wall-to-wall storage.
In full sun or summer shade, the house grounds deliver multiple ambient escapes: around the wood-fired pizza oven, beneath the alfresco pavilion, or chasing the day's last light from a deck chair, wrapped in hills that dip into your own winter creek.
Once the town's original dairy, the weathered barn still stands alongside a commercial shopfront with storeroom and cool-room capability-and if you cross the creek to the property's highest point, the ensuing views might even convince you to rebuild up here (STCC).
With extensive hay, machinery and implement shedding, a chicken coop, veggie beds, and the old barn - a poignant reminder of the property's milking days - the beauty of Paris Creek is its pin-drop quiet setting.
Close to Meadows, Strath and Ashbourne for essentials, with major retail and reputable schools some 25 minutes away in Mount Barker, it's as practical as it is profoundly beautiful.
And as the neighbour's cattle roam the ridge, it won't just be you who thrives...
