Nature lover’s paradise on 4.179ha (approx. 10 acres) with horse facilities and a renovated four / three bedroom house in the hills township of One Tree Hill.
LAND: This lifestyle property is located at the end of McGilp road, within walking distance of the One Tree Hill Primary School, local shops and the oval and only a short drive to Trinity College in Craigmore or Gawler. At the end of McGilp road this heavily wooded, 4.179ha block with native trees and plants and two paddocks provides space and seclusion for a multitude of pursuits, be it keeping livestock such as sheep, alpacas or horses or simply as a play and recreation area for the whole family. It is currently also used as a Bushcare site for Trees for Life. A long driveway (approx. 250m) goes from the left boundary up the hill towards the right boundary and back to the left towards the house. Approximately 2 acres of the land around the home is separately fenced to keep kangaroos out of the natural garden setting, which mostly contains native plants. In addition to the back entertaining area of the house, there is another beautiful seating spot on the eastern side. The top paddock behind the house borders onto grazing land and has far reaching views that, on a clear day, extend to St Kilda. A 40m x 20m (approx.) horse arena was used many years ago and could easily be re-established. A bore provides water for livestock, toilets and the laundry.
RESIDENCE: A beautifully renovated and cosy, double brick home offers four good sized bedrooms (or three plus a study or formal dining room), two bathrooms, laundry, lounge, kitchen and meals area. Two bedrooms have built-in robes; the master has an ensuite with shower, vanity and toilet. The kitchen, which was recently updated in white and grey tones, has a gas cook top (gas by cylinder) and an electric oven. Space is provided for a dishwasher. The lounge has a Heatform open fire which transfers heat into the adjoining room. A split system is also available and the stylish looking retractable ceiling fans help distributing air for personal comfort. Both the ensuite and bathroom have been updated. The laundry offers built-in cupboards for storage and benchtop space. The full length, back verandah is ideal for entertaining and enjoying those far reaching views and sunsets.
