147A The Glen Road

This is the moment, as you look back over the road you've just travelled, that the breathtaking views offered by the house are revealed: the river on the left (with Mount Barker Summit in the distance), and on the right (under your very feet) the rolling hills of the Bremer Ranges that embrace the private valley you could now call home. You might readily picture horses and other livestock sharing this place with you.

The four-bedroom home was designed in response to the unique combination of hillside stance, sunshine and views. It offers much to make this the perfect Adelaide Hills' retreat, proudly adopting the style of an earlier era: high, corniced ceilings, sash windows, clawfoot bath, bay windows, feature timber floors, French doors and a mud-room/porch at the rear.

A large kitchen with informal dining and huge walk-in pantry (and a Nectre wood heater that will also cook your pizza), master ensuite and walk-in robe, large family bathroom and bay-windowed family room complete the floorplan. Near the house is a six-bay shed plus workshop with power, wet area and mezzanine storage: a wonderful asset.

Domestic water needs are served by a concrete rainwater tank (132,000 litres) via a 10,000-litre hilltop header tank. There is also a back-up supply of water available from the Bremer River and the permanent spring ensures ample water supply is available all year round. Water supplies for garden and stock are provided by the Bremer River and the Spring.

You will also enjoy energy independence here, with 3.5KW solar panels supported by battery storage and automatic generator backup, and gas hot water (solar boosted).

This is a chance to enjoy authentic rural living and yet - as the present owner have found - still be within reasonable commuting distance of the city.
