Here's a lifestyle destination that presents some great opportunities on the closer-to-town, high side of Lobethal-Cudlee Creek. With an elevation peaking at 450+ metres, it's a place of majestic views not only over ranges and valleys but also over a 34-acre parcel of land that offers myriad opportunities for further production. Impeccable water supply (licensed), good soils and fencing suitable for sheep and/or cattle and a home vineyard ripe for producing your own Cabernet Franc, Merlot or Shiraz provide a versatility that's ready for your vision. More extensive vineyards in the past produced high-quality grapes for some of the Hills' premium producers and extending the vineyard is definitely an option. The land falls to pasture from hilltop woodland and sits at the end of a quiet, gum-studded country lane, with a substantial, double-brick, tiled roof homestead placed perfectly to capture the far-ranging vistas over ‘Tabor Valley'. With a picturesque garden of sweeping lawns, mature ornamental trees and expansive paved and grassed terraces, home-base is a place of relaxed serenity that enjoys the winter warmth and summer cool of thoughtful planting and landscaping over some thirty years. The well maintained and presented home boasts four bedrooms, high ceilings with decorative cornices, wooden floors, a country kitchen and a natural flow to extensive outdoor entertaining areas. Entry from the circular driveway and front terrace opens to a living room that will delight: French doors each side of a decorative hearth, slow combustion heater fuelled by wood from the property, and garden-filtered light from the vine-covered front terrace. The inviting kitchen and meals area creates a place where food preparation and enjoyment comfortably combine. Informal dining extends readily through more French doors onto the truly expansive stone walled outdoor entertaining terrace. A wood-fired oven makes home-cooked pizza the perfect accompaniment to valley views and even wine from your own vines. The country-style kitchen has an Italian Lofra gas/electric range, Miele dishwasher, Caesarstone benchtops, breakfast bar, island bench and walk-in pantry. Of the four bedrooms, the master suite provides an enviable parents' retreat with garden views, large built-ins, walk-in-robe, modernised en suite bathroom and French doors to a private, covered patio where the outlook over garden and valley can be enjoyed all year round. Also ideal as a second sitting room or children's lounge is a second spacious bedroom, with third and fourth bedrooms and bathroom with corner tub completing the generous family accommodation. Ducted reverse cycle air-con and ceiling fans ensure comfort throughout the home, with a 5.2kw solar PV system offsetting energy costs. Double carport and double lock-up garage with concrete floor, light and power, provide ample undercover parking and storage, generously supplemented by a double container wine cellar settled into the hillside. Filtered rainwater supplies the house, supplemented by an automated, high quality bore which pumps to a hilltop tank reticulated to the garden. The great charm of this property undoubtedly springs from its impressive setting: dress-circle views enjoyed from the comfort of a hillside home and its embracing lawns, terraces, mature oaks, rose garden, camellias and ornamental beds. At the Lobethal end of Cudlee Creek, the property lies well within commute of Adelaide and major Hills centres.
