Description

Nestled along the serene and picturesque Lower Hermitage Road, this approximately 22-acre estate offers a rare blend of prime Adelaide Hills land and sophisticated rural living. The journey begins behind stylish, secure gates where a sweeping bitumen driveway-flanked by majestic Crimson Claret Ash trees-meanders past a gentle creek, leading you to your private family paradise.

Previously, this magnificent property was designed to breed Friesian horses and comes equipped with every facility required for an equestrian looking to start a boutique stud or offer premium agistment services. The infrastructure includes well-sized, sheltered day yards built to stallion standards, seven paddocks of varying sizes with three featuring shelters, and foaling yards with secure fencing. The property also boasts a fantastic flat-work area, a round yard, and a beautiful natural billabong where horses can enjoy a swim.

Upon arrival at the residence, you are met with a home designed for both scale and comfort. Parking is effortless with a massive three-car carport plus another adjoining 6 x 20 meter shed. A large gravel roundabout ensures easy maneuvering for trailers, supported by a hay shed and a rear tool shed for additional storage. The home itself is wrapped in extra-wide eaves, providing year-round protection and a classic country silhouette. Practicality is at the forefront with a dedicated boot-room at the rear entrance-perfect for shedding the day's gear-adjacent to a slate-floored laundry for easy maintenance.

Inside, the home reveals its character through timeless, decorative finishes including ceiling roses, chandeliers, ornate cornicing, and golden fittings. The central living area is of grand proportions, featuring a combustion wood heater to keep the home warm throughout winter. This space flows into the expansive gourmet kitchen, which is currently in the final stages of a modern refresh. Featuring a spacious layout and high-quality cabinetry, the space awaits your final creative touches to complete the vision, allowing you to tailor the finishing details to your own taste while enjoying stunning views over the dam and rolling hills.

Originally configured as four bedrooms, the layout has been refined to three, resulting in an incredibly spacious third bedroom. All with zoned reverse-cycle air-conditioning and plush carpets, including a master suite with a walk-in robe and a sparkling ensuite. Outside, life is supported by an 18-foot deep dam that waters animals and gardens all year round. Together with approximately 130,000 gallons of rainwater storage and a substantial solar system, this property offers a magnificent lifestyle with remarkably low running costs.

The property is equipped with a robust water management system designed for reliability and ease of use.
• The Dam: The property features a 6-meter-deep spring water dam, connected via underground 2-inch heavy-duty piping to three separate livestock troughs.
• Pumping System: A relatively new pump at the dam site efficiently feeds water to both primary rainwater tanks on the property.
• Storage Capacity: A newly installed pump efficiently transfers water from the dam to both the garden and stable tanks.
25,000L Rainwater Tank: Located behind the shed. The garden sprinkler systems are supplied by this tank, which is pressure-assisted by a motor for consistent flow. This tank is gravity-fed/filled via the roof catchment of the shed.
15,000L Rainwater Tank (Black): Located behind the stables and is plumbed to fill all stock troughs.
• Filtration: The house main water filtration system has a capacity of 130,000 gallons. This is gravity-fed/filled via the roof catchment of the house.
Energy & Solar Profile
The property features a highly lucrative solar setup that provides significant cost offsets.
• Solar Power: A 4.8 kW (approx), 14 panel solar system is installed.
• Premium Feed-in Tariff: The system is currently on a legacy tariff of 48 cents, which is locked in until the end of the 2028 financial year.
• Hot Water: The solar hot water system was replaced in 2021.
Safety & Additional Features
• Security: A full security system with 8 cameras is already in place.
• Bushfire Preparedness: Industrial-strength rooftop sprinklers provide a 25-meter radius of fire protection, ensuring comprehensive coverage for the home and its immediate surroundings.
• Fencing: There is an electric fence installed (currently not connected).

Having previously been represented by Sam Doman, this property has a documented history of excellence. While the current vendor's upcoming overseas relocation means the home is presented in a practical state, a quick search of the property's history reveals its breathtaking potential when fully manicured. This is a rare opportunity to secure a premium holding with "proven results" at a competitive price point. Our vendor is committed to a move abroad and must sell immediately.
