364 CAREY GULLY ROAD, MT GEORGE.
"The planting of a tree is a gift which you can make to posterity at almost no cost and with almost no trouble, and if the tree takes root it will far outlive the visible effect of any of your other actions." George Orwell.
In Bittwood Forest you will find a treasure trove of gifts waiting for the new owners to elevate this property to the next level.
This magnificent 50 acre land holding is comprised of 48 acres of pristine heritage woodland forest and a 2 acre (1ha) block approved for residential development allowing you to build the home of your dreams (STCC) surrounded by natures glory, with views over the Mt Lofty Ranges on one side and a forest framed for your own private enjoyment on the other.
A circular driveway leads you from Carey Gully Rd through the Stringy Bark Gum trees, to the cleared house site, which is ideally positioned at the Western edge of the property ensuring your views over Mt Lofty capture the radiant sunsets in the evenings. With ready access to power infrastructure the site provides the perfect blank canvas to create a residence that will connect you to the best the Adelaide Hills has to offer.
Held by the current owners for over 30 years, Bittwood Forest has been lovingly curated as a native flora and fauna paradise, with over 30 varieties of native orchids found amongst the Stringy Bark Gum tress and home to koalas, kangaroos, Kookaburras, echidnas and even evidence of a bandicoot habitat.
As you venture further into Bittwood you cant help but feel a level of tranquility wash over you as you leave the day to day behind and you become present in the forest and all it has to offer. Established walking trails meander over the property and guide you from the hillside peaks with 360 degree views, to the dam that doubles as a swimming hole in summer, through to the lush green valley floor protected by the forest canopy above.
Bittwood Forest is a wonderful opportunity to acquire one of the few privately held heritage woodland forests in south Australia, with the ability to build that once in a life time home (STCC), having full confidence that you will never see the forest or your privacy disturbed.
