Ideally situated in a secluded hidden valley, this charming historic home has all the character features you have been looking for. Huge rooms with lofty ceilings, ornate cornicing, polished timber floors, and original open fireplaces. You'll love the large, updated country-style kitchen with its lofty raked timber ceilings and feature glass skylights creating a feeling of light and space. Generous bench space and lovely rural outlooks from 3 large sash windows add to the appeal. The kitchen also spills onto a very generous family/dining room complete with cosy wood fire burner. A separate formal dining room has all the character of a by-gone era, with its original mantled fireplace, fancy cornicing, ceiling rose and French doors opening onto the wrap around verandah. Four large bedrooms, with original fireplaces and built-in robes. The fourth bedroom is located at the rear of the home and could alternatively be utilized as a study/computer room. The family bathroom has a full-size tub and separate shower, and there is a small storage room adjacent - a great space to extend if you are remodeling the bathroom or adding a powder room. The huge laundry is big enough to facilitate a large family. Underneath the home you will find a rustic cellar ready to restore to a space for wine or hobbies. A scattering of sheds and outbuildings are useful additions. A real feature of this home is the generous return verandah that hugs the home and provides great spaces for outdoor undercover living for family and friends. Tucked away on 33 evergreen acres (approx.) and located in a high rainfall area this home has relatively new rainwater tanks (approx. 43,000 litre capacity) pumped to the house. A real bonus is the high-quality bore! This water is pumped into a 20,000 litre holding tank and is used to irrigate the lawns and gardens. There is also a substantial dam for stock watering which has water all year round! The septic system is only a few years old. Spectacular rural outlooks surround the home and if you walk to the top of the rear paddocks, you will have outstanding views extending to the Coorong! Bull Creek is ideally located 10 mins to the Meadows township and only about 15 minutes into the picturesque town of Strathalbyn. Not far from the McLaren Vale wine district, or you can have a leisurely lunch at Ashbourne's famous Greenman Inn, just 5 mins down the road. Adelaide CBD is only about a 45-minute drive making your daily commute to work a breeze. This superb home represents comfortable family living, with endless possibilities to extend or renovate to suit your family needs. These old historic homesteads are generational and rarely come onto the market, don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity!
