238 Vale Rd, Highland Valley is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 5 parking spaces and was built in 1992. The property has a land size of 151600m2 and floor size of 198m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in November 2024.
Is it the country dream or true independence? It's both. With a modernised homestead and separate retreat, a cloak of majestic gums, grazing land and rolling countryside, live and thrive off-grid on a wondrous 38-acre domain.
There's nothing like the empowerment of self-sufficiency, and as spring warmth settles in, a 12kW solar system kicks things up a notch.
For the hands-on, the property's infrastructure includes a 4-bay implement shed and 2-bay vehicle garage, grazing paddocks for livestock, some 130,000L of rainwater storage, grazing plus 16 acres of regenerative and reseeded native vegetation, plus permaculture-inspired organic gardens.
Featuring stone and Western Red Cedar, the 3-bedroom homestead offers a modern neutral base against the bursts of furnished colour you bring to its dual living zones, shaker-style kitchen, mudroom, modern bathroom and master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe; the country essentials include a wood combustion and open fireplace.
The care and attention to detail right across the property is evident, with renowned mural artist Cat Dean leaving her creative mark on the retreat; and it's a fitting gesture to the lifestyle at play here.
Neat and cosy, the retreat offers twin rooms, a wet area and a wood-fired baker's oven, stamping it as an inspired hideaway to work, relax or create.
As for the Australian native & Mediterranean grounds, you'll celebrate the seasons discovering every interesting nook, pocket and point of interest; and despite the quiet and idyllic setting, historic Strath and Mount Barker's sprawling mecca are yours in minutes.
Turn your back on them both and traverse the tree-lined driveway to the heart of arguably one of Highland Valley's finest holdings; earth-friendly, sustainable, and fabulously modern.
The best part is you needn't answer to anyone
