Experience joie de vivre - five acres of undulating, hay producing or hobby farming land with two dams forming a picturesque playground and home to a turn of the century, renovated stone cottage Circa 1906.
Disconnect from routine and get lost amid the colour and fruit bearing beauty of plum, apple and pear - plus ornamental varieties of Aristocrat and Manchurian - with a delightful dose of scented roses accenting the home's perimeter.
Celebrate cottage living with a one-hundred-year-history that is now sympathetically updated; cosy living room, country timber kitchen, intimate dining room, three double bedrooms with built-ins and heritage style bathroom with tessellated floor tiles.
Each room welcomes with its own warming touch; romantic fireplaces, original timber floorboards, hallway leadlight or the rustic exposed stonework and timber ceiling detail in the kitchen.
Throw yourself head first into a French country fairy tale; albeit with towering gums and inquisitive koalas asserting your spot firmly in Adelaide Hills territory.
Cuddle up around the slow combustion heater in the living room with extractors to share the warmth throughout the bedrooms, or swoon over views of the twinkling dam as you imagine the smell of freshly baked bread filling the kitchen - a petite place akin to Provence!
There's room for farm animals to graze or live self-sufficiently by your own rules. Wander brick paving and gravel paths that line the gardens, or rest beneath the bullnose verandah absorbing tranquil views ahead - over 250 acres of it!
A character filled outbuilding has come of age since its dairy farming days - now a home office/studio - it too has a story to tell.
With nearby Mt Barker's urban expansion taking hold, there is so much on offer. Shopping amenities and great schools such as Cornerstone College, St Mark's Lutheran School or Mt Barker Waldorf offering Kindergarten to Year 12.
World-class wineries and gourmet fare are temptingly close; Strathalbyn, Hahndorf, and Macclesfield conjure envy for city folk as they pack overnight bags to enjoy your backyard.
Seek serenity and a charm-filled lifestyle where fresh air fills your lungs. Breathe it in for yourself this weekend.
