An exciting opportunity to acquire an outstanding hills lifestyle property of historic interest and charm with superb views of the Adelaide Hills.

The acquisition of land and the subsequent building of Ravenswood were undertaken by the Paech family, Prussian pioneers who arrived at Holdfast Bay (Glenelg) in 1839 on the "Zebra" under the command of Captain Hahn.
Until late in the twentieth century the property was owned by Paech descendants.

The homestead, two bedroom cottage and outbuildings sit in a parkland setting of lawns, mature exotic trees and garden beds of roses, shrubs and natives.

The current owners have, with vision, architectural inspiration and excellence, made Ravenswood homestead with its complementary ancillary buildings one of the most unique holdings in the Adelaide Hills with extensive and magnificent views. A lifestyle property only 30 minutes from Adelaide but far enough away to escape the City’s stress.

The homestead and cottage offer five bedrooms, three bathrooms, formal and informal living areas, studies, library and cellar. Operating open fireplaces add to the charm, and 21st century amenities have been subtly incorporated including under floor heating and air conditioning.

Extensive verandahs with iron lace stamp the date of construction as do the original shingles which now act as insulation beneath the iron roof.

The property is well fenced into eight paddocks catering for cattle, horses and other stock.
There are extensive useful sheds and cattle yards with crush and loading ramp. The original blacksmith shop still exists as does the tack room and feed room.
A fully fenced arena awaits the horse enthusiast.
Ample quality water from bore and rain water storage supplies the property.

Adjoining is 45 acres of highly fertile country with wonderful home sites offering spectacular views.

Ravenswood is definitely one of the most desirable properties in the Adelaide Hills.
