Looking across your own beautiful valley where history, landscape and liveability perfectly combine, there could be no better rural lifestyle property than this.
Bremer Springs sits on 100 very manageable acres, once part of Bremer Springs Station, a significant contributor to Harrogate's pastoral history. A long, shared driveway takes you well away from the road until you enter the property through automatic gates. Here you bridge the Bremer River and the deep permanent waterhole that is such a feature of this special place. Several generations of river red-gums stud the riverbank and paddocks, towering ancients claiming prominent positions for themselves and the abundant birdlife they host.
Following the Bremer further along the wide flat floor of the valley, the driveway passes the grassed horse arena, which is 40 by 20 metres with tack room and horse stable immediately adjacent. You begin to sense what it would be like to explore this landscape on horseback, trail bike or foot.
Driving on, you discover the wonderful bonfire area - the spot where the homestead was established some ten years ago - and the reeds and lush grass around the natural spring that provides water all-year-round. And now, some minutes since entering Bremer Springs, you see the house resting halfway up a hill (one of several you can call your own) in the large, well fenced home-paddock.
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, there being four paddocks.
The four-bedroom home (or three plus study) 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 boot-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, dining room and bay-windowed living 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 owners have found - still be within reasonable commuting distance of the city.
