Mill Farm - Country Gold in the Heart of Echunga Tucked gently into a lush valley on the fringe of the charming gold-rush village of Echunga, Mill Farm is its own kind of treasure: 65 acres of fertile, beautifully balanced farmland where practicality meets pure serenity. Just a short stroll to the main street café and minutes from Hahndorf or Mount Barker, this is country living without compromise. A property of rare versatility, Mill Farm has been purposefully designed to function as a genuine rural enterprise while retaining the beauty, warmth and spirit of a forever home. Currently set up for beef cattle, it features well-fenced paddocks, reliable watering points, shady gums, and a fully equipped cattle facility with steel yards, concrete race, and brand-new Red River crush. There's a huge new hay shed for feed storage, and an impressive workshop complex with 3-phase power, high cathedral ceilings, and solid timber beams a dream space for farm machinery, creativity, or future transformation. For the equestrian at heart, two large shelter sheds with water and yards offer endless possibility. The property's story continues along a Claret Ash-lined driveway that winds its way to a grand country homestead, framed by red gum post-and-rail fencing and stone-pillared entrances. Built of solid double brick and basking in a perfect northern aspect, the home radiates warmth and character from polished timber floors and spotted gum sliders to the sun-soaked living spaces where views of the picturesque grounds pour in. It's a home made for connection: big open areas for family gatherings, peaceful bedrooms wrapped in New Zealand wool carpet, a library that could easily become a fourth bedroom, and a separate studio perfect for hobbies or guests. The kitchen opens effortlessly to spotted gum decking and a heated pool, ideal for long summer afternoons where laughter drifts across the paddocks and the golden light lingers. Outside, the gardens and orchard are a love letter to the land, bursting with native and exotic plantings, a productive veggie patch, and the hum of birdlife. Water security is abundant, with dam, bore, rainwater, and a valuable water licence adding both practical and future value. Two fenced tree lots, planted with koala-friendly eucalypts, enhance the biodiversity and natural charm that define this peaceful sanctuary. Mill Farm isn't just a property, it's a lifestyle steeped in authenticity. A place where you can work the land, grow your own produce, saddle up, or simply breathe deeply and feel grounded. All this, just minutes from everything the Adelaide Hills has to offer. Brimming with features; External: 65 acres (approx) 240000 litres of rainwater filtered with PureTec water filtration system.
