27 Onkaparinga Valley Road, Balhannah, SA 5242 This is truly a rare opportunity to acquire this gorgeous rambling sandstone home with a classic return verandah; surrounded by beautiful grounds containing mature trees and rose bushes. Built in 1860 and extended in 1875, this is a home built by hand and built to last the test of time; it has its own rich history and invites you to create your own memories here. The home has access and right of way to The Onkaparinga River, and the elusive but succulent yabbies found in it. Set back from the road behind a classic picket fence this home offers beautiful high ceilings and large sized rooms and a grand ballroom sized living room / dance studio or use it as a living dining area; the possibilities are indeed many. Escape from city life and unwind as you leave peak hour traffic well behind, welcome to rural living and roaming through the world class wineries and exploring the antique dealers and boutique businesses dotted throughout the fabulous Adelaide Hills. Be spoilt for choice with great pubs, great restaurants and indeed a fantastic country lifestyle here in the heart of the hills. All of this and only 20 minutes to the city via the freeway. This is a home that invites you to spread out and relax, with plenty of room to accommodate a family or even an extended family with the fully self-contained cottage at the back of the block offering an income generating asset or a home for extra family members or B&B (S.T.C.C). The cottage has an open plan kitchenette/ living,bedroom, bathroom & toilet; it has approximately 10,000 litres of rain water plumbed in as well. The keen gardener is going to love the generous sized allotment and opportunity to enhance the grounds as they are or further create new plantings. Step inside the front door and you are greeted by a magnificent hall that leads from the front of the home to the back, graced by ornate columns and plasterwork of a bygone era. Just off of the hall you will find one of the largest rooms I’ve seen in a while, bathed in natural light this room looks out through French doors into the garden with a fish pond. This is a room that simply we call the ballroom; you could use it as a home theatre or combined formal dining & living room. With 4 good sized bedrooms, 3 with original fireplaces; there are also 2 bathrooms and a separate laundry as well. Step into the huge open plan rear living room with a cosy Nectre combustion heater; this room also has its own island bench / wet bar making this a home for the growing family. For the work from home professional there is an office or study that gives you the space and flexibility you need. The country style kitchen is at the heart of the home and it has access to the hallway and to the large formal dining / living room. There is bottled gas connected and the gas hws services the rear bathroom and kitchen. The home also has a double garage down the gravel drive to the rear of the block and a powered shed for the blokes with enough room to keep the tinkerer or restorer happy.
