A gorgeous three bedroom stone Coach House with all the charm of a Tuscan Villa surrounded by tranquil gardens. 'Coachwood' offers a variety of possibilities to generate income while enjoying a prestigious rural lifestyle.
Lovingly developed over 24 years from a bare 20 acre field, the quality is evident in the detail from the front gate right through to the picture perfect dam situated privately in the back paddock.
Artists, artisans, garden lovers and romantics will all feel a special affinity here. Inspired by the beautiful gardens found in the Cotswold area in south central England, the garden is established with Australian natives, parterres, lawns and rolling countryside views. With beautiful water features and sculptures scattered around the grounds, the Blue Wrens, Honey Eaters, Willy Wagtails and other native birds have found a spacious, happy and safe environment to call home.
Built using a confectionary collection of Wistow Blue Stone, the Coach House has stunning street appeal and has been off set from the road to ensure ample room for the semi circular double-gated driveway.
With ample off street parking for any sized function, there are many options available to cater for business ventures should you wish to utilise the property in a commercial capacity.
Recently the property has hosted its first wedding in the centre of the mature Lilly Pilly maze. A maze to rival the Hampton Court maze in the UK, the large central lawn is easily located through a direct route or can be found traditionally through a kilometer of teasing pathways. The largest maze of its type in South Australia the income potential is only limited by ones commercial ability. With 20 acres to expand upon this already unique garden feature could remain in tact as the ultimate grandchild's playground or could expand into a serious entrepreneurial venture.
A stunning residence since the first stone was laid, careful and long-term consideration has been taken into account with every structure on the property to ensure ease of transformation into a commercial venture if ever required. Whether utilised in its original and existing form as a beautiful rural lifestyle property or as a restaurant, adventure maze, B&B or cellar door, everything is in place to cater for a commercial fitout*.
Inside the Coach House the sense of space is immediate upon entry. With high ceilings and no cold corridors or small windows, the home is inviting and well appointed with quality hardwood joinery in the kitchen, which was constructed by Barrie McBride. Brand new splash backs have recently been installed throughout the entire kitchen along with a stunning granite bench top.
An open plan format with warm combustion heater situated centrally between the kitchen, living and dining space keeps the Coach House wood warm in Winter and the reverse cycle split system in the same room helps to take the heat away during hot Summers. However, the air conditioning has rarely been used as the ventilation throughout the house allows for cool evening breezes to pass gently through thanks to large elevated vents situated above a number of the eight French doors including the Gothic stable doors at the front of the house.
Three spacious and well-located double bedrooms are beautifully presented. With exterior French-door access to each bedroom, the master showcases an eye catching frameless slumped glass shower screen and elliptical-top basin in the ensuite. The second bedroom also has its own unique feature boasting a divine marble top basin complete with vanity that has only recently been fitted.
The detached artist's studio is nestled into the landscape and offers a multitude of uses as either a very smart garage for the car collector, B&B, function room, or as it is currently used, it is the perfect space for the home business complete with three phase power, air conditioning, water, shuttered skylights and a glass frontage*.
Highly productive land suitable for any animal husbandry ventures, make up the rest of the 20-acre property. With a limitless water supply pumped from the equipped dams and ample rainwater catchment, ample water ensures a lush garden all year round along with an extensive watering system for easy use.
Complete with ample shedding and garaging for at least four vehicles, 'Coachwood' is located within easy commute to the Adelaide CBD from the fringe of the Kersbrook township. A perfectly established and maintained property 'Coachwood' is the quintessential rural idyll you've been dreaming of.
