The vendors give you a glimpse of the lifestyle you could have:

Approximately 7 years ago after many months of searching for our first family home, we drove down Kangarilla Road, admiring the stunning vista that lead us to a beautiful Tudor cottage for sale, and we knew we had found our home. Without even stepping foot inside the cottage, we knew it was the one. It felt right. The porch covered in flowering Wisteria, the weeping mulberry tree laden with berries, the curved stone driveway, we were determined to make it ours and raise our family in the friendly township. Our offer was rejected and we were devastated but as luck would have it, the offer fell through and we were handed the keys to our new home and our new life in McLaren Flat. We were so proud to be able to celebrate our eldest son’s 1st birthday in our cottage, finally we were home!

Bright eyed we were excited to put our own touches on the cottage. We knew with a little love and a lot of hard work we could make the old girl shine once more. It was clear that once upon a time, our little cottage had been loved, and had been a wonderful and cared for home. This was reinforced when we would hear stories about our cottage over the years, once having a road worker knock on the door and ask to look around as he had fond memories being babysat in the home.

We set to work pruning and fertilising the orchard ensuring a bountiful crop of apples, plums, nectarines, lemons & mandarins the following year. We rebuilt the bedrooms from the foundations up stripping away the 70′s renovations. We had helped the cottage once again become the cosy home it was built to be. We then added a grand family bathroom in between welcoming our other 2 sons to our family.

Although on the Main Road, the unique positioning of the cottage next to a long tree lined access way and across the road from an almond orchard gives the cottage peace and privacy and attracts the endangered Black & yellow cockatoos in summer time. In our first few years, we got to know our surrounding neighbours who have offered us so much help and kindness along the way. We have enjoyed many a great night catching up with a glass of vino, watching the kids play and thrive. We can truly say we have made life-long friends.
We have created so many wonderful memories in the eight years we have spent here including our children’s birthday parties, pre wedding celebrations and countless long lunches with our family & friends.

We have spent 8 years working hard to create our wonderful home, and to now be saying goodbye was not a decision we reached easily. We have spent 8 years building the home we dreamed of, and we planned to stay forever. Having invested so much into the property, walking away will not be easy and it will be so sad to leave our little cottage. But our family is growing, and requiring more space, unfortunately, this means a move.

And so we will hand over the keys to new owners and truly hope that the new owners of Wisteria cottage love the property as we have, make their own mark on the history of this original cottage and can make a home and life as happy as the one we have had the privilege of enjoying whilst calling Wisteria Cottage our home.

McLaren Flat is such a fantastic place to raise a family, the wonderful sense of pride in the community, an outstanding school an easy stroll away and surrounded by the beautiful vines, hills & fantastic restaurants and wineries.

So to the lucky new owners, please appreciate the beauty, the peace, the tranquillity, add your own stamp and enjoy the wonderful lifestyle on offer.

Enjoy!
