Posen Cottage

Beautifully restored cottage within a stunning parklike setting. Shedding, sleep out accommodation and grazing paddock. PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS: • 2.65ha (6.42acres) spectacular little acreage • Circa 1872 stone cottage • Period charm embraced by modern refinements • Self-contained accommodation & shedding facility • English style gardens with many ornamental trees • Angas Creek, bore, mains water and more • Bridges over waterways into large paddock • Impossible not to fall in love with If the description of an elegantly restored, beautified stone cottage in the most glorious of hills setting on 6 pristine acres sounds like a dream, then it's time to make the dream a reality. The old cottage has lost none of its period charms and dates back over 140 years. The current owners have thoughtfully and considerately retained its country charm, yet have merged more modern, functional and quality upgrades and appointments. There are ornate fireplaces in the living and dining areas, with a Nectre oven/wood heater in the kitchen, that combine with ducted air conditioning and a split system unit to ensure cosy warmth together with immediate comfort. The kitchen has a wonderful Belling 900mm induction cooktop with electric oven and is supported by very clever use of space for the high glass cabinetry perfectly offset by the rich tones of the flooring. Both bedrooms access the bathroom, which is bright, modern and has a gorgeous leadlight window. The front and rear verandahs, with timber decking underfoot, complement the stonework and red brick quoins. A seamless integration into the gardens is the wonderful and most purposeful self-contained addition. Fitted with own bathroom, good living space and kitchenette, it is perfect for visitors, extended family or as potential guest accommodation. With both r/c split system and slow combustion heating it is a delightful retreat all year round. The shedding complex has all the room for the essentials. This is home to items such as a John Deere yard tractor with attachments, ride on mower, log splitter, mulcher and more; items which may be included in the sale. The American Barn shedding has 14.6kW of solar panels with a newly installed 15kW inverter and a 19.2kW battery setup. This just supports the economic benefits the entire property offers. The grounds resemble a postcard picture with lush, sweeping lawns dotted with many deciduous trees that form a wonderful shade canopy in summer, spectacular seasonal colour and allow in the natural winter sunlight. It is all best appreciated by a slow stroll during which you will visit an arched footbridge over a watercourse, wisteria covered pergola with old, thick timber beams and posts and, protected by hedges, a domestic orchard, and so much more. In addition to picking your own fruits, grow, harvest, and enjoy your own vegetables in the well constructed greenhouse, where tomatoes, cucumbers, and a variety of other plants will thrive. A favourite spot is sure to be the charming studio. With its solar panel, 12V dc battery and dc lighting, a cassette toilet and a combustion heater, it is the perfect place to admire the garden, curl up with a book, or lose yourself in a hobby or craft. An old wooden footbridge and a newer vehicle bridge cross Angas Creek, which traverses the land before feeding the River Torrens west of the Birdwood township. These structures grant access to the large grazing paddock which is also very productive for hay. The gently low lying aspect of this part of the property helps it stay greener for much longer than many other lifestyle acreages. Whether you envision a pony, alpacas, cattle, or simply open space to enjoy, it's a beautifully usable and genuinely appealing piece of land. Vehicle access to this paddock is also available from a farm gated entrance from the Onkaparinga Valley Road which is ideal for horse floats or other large equipment. Water is bountiful with the home connected to the mains water, the very good bore that services the grounds, a 5,000 gallon poly tank, and natural run off that feeds the waterways. The recent extension of the Amy Gillett Pathway is at the entrance, which is perfect for a walk, jog or bike ride into Birdwood then not much more to the schools and shops. History, beauty and lifestyle in one perfect package. Call NOW on 0488 972 888 for more information or to arrange a private inspection.
