Mixing business, pleasure and elevation, spectacular sun-ups, sundowns, and eyefuls of Mt Barker and the Adelaide Hills, this could be SA’s unique, secluded, and captivating 8th wonder we’re yet to discover

One could ask what you do with 110 acres between Murray Bridge and Mount Barker. In a postcards-from-home climate, relax in a modernised 3-bed homestead, book out the 2 self-contained 2-bedroom cabins (STCC), wander the paddocks and native scrub, or join your invitees to alfresco, bar, and games entertaining.

Around the firepit, amongst the olive trees, or on the bocce rink – Farm No. 8 is fun from all angles; as a superb family commune, a farm-stay, wedding venue, or as Airbnb potential for Superloop diehards, run with one idea, or run with them all

Checking in at home HQ, its comfort is warm and spacious: raked timber ceilings, a feature brick fireplace, combustion heater, a solid timber kitchen with huge pantry and island servery, and open plan living with an inbuilt bar and French doors to the verandah’s magical Mt Barker Ranges sunsets.

Legroom fills the master with end-to-end robes and a front porch refuge; bedrooms 2 and 3 have robes and ceiling fans, and the 2-way main bathroom, softened by plantation shutters, deflects to a corner spa.

And to those 2 new self contained cabins – their timber decks joining “The Farm” bar and games room with its own bathroom – is an all-seasons feature for those who come, stay, wine, and dine abutting the corrugated cool of the enclosed BBQ zone.

Secure carparking with 3 roller doors, a detached garage with workshop, 4 storage containers, all enveloped by landscaped grounds – we see zero reasons to leave.

If only to your local drawcards: Monarto Safari Park, vintage wares at Strath, cellar door stops at Langhorne Creek, Murray River cruising, or The Bend Motorsport Park at Tailem Bend – on our rural back doorstep, this is Monarto life
