On the fringe of Meadows' township, Willow Creek unfolds as both a lifestyle property and an architectural homage to the Australian shearing shed. Thirty acres of clean, arable land lay the stage. What rises from it is a home that feels carved from the land itself, sun-chasing and story-rich.
'Heritage Galv' iron clads the exterior in a nod to the utilitarian beauty of rural outbuildings. North-facing and double-glazed, the home draws in winter sun and keeps the world at bay - while opening itself fully to the countryside beyond.
Inside, towering clerestory windows frame the cathedral-like living pavilion, flooding the Oregon-framed interior with light. That timber - salvaged from Port Adelaide wharves - tells its own story in grain and groove, now reimagined in rafters and posts that shape the soaring ceiling.
The kitchen is stripped-back and honest, offset by considered details: white shaker cabinetry, open timber shelving, farmhouse sink, and rustic pendant lighting glowing softly overhead.
With a freestanding tub, moss-green feature wall, subway tiles and patterned encaustic-style floors, the bathroom channels a calm, country-boutique vibe - reflected again in the main bedroom's ensuite.
Three bedrooms wrap gently around the open plan heart, offering privacy and comfort without pulling you too far from the view.
And what a view it is. A covered rear deck becomes the lens through which you take it all in. The garden explodes with colour, cooled by the gentle flow of Meadows Creek, which runs through the lower paddock nearly year-round.
Beyond the house: a 1910 concrete-floor dairy, fully fenced paddocks with electric and barbed wire, a large dam that rarely dries, bore-fed tank system, and a 6x12m garage/workshop complex.
Currently the passive income streams come courtesy of cut flower garden, cattle agistment and the Glen Meadows Water License Lease, together returning over $45k annually - quietly subsidising your country daydream. Only this time, it's the real thing.
