Immerse yourself in history and an enviable lifestyle on this picturesque 6.6 ha (16.25 acre) property. The original circa 1900 4 room stone cottage was once the Cromer Post Office. The front room with magnificent leadlight door is now used for dining, the timber ceiling & tiled floor give it a homely feeling. Polished timber floorboards, timber windows & slow combustion heater in the lounge room make it a wonderful place to relax & read a good book. The main bedroom has floor to ceiling built in robes, polished Redgum floor & a split system air conditioner for year round comfort. The 2nd bedroom is the final room in the original cottage & has a great view into the rear garden. The home was tastefully extended in 1994 with the addition of a kitchen/family room with loads of glass windows to enjoy the views of the established garden outside. Creature comfort is assured with a gas heater and a reverse cycle split system. A walk in pantry in the kitchen leaves loads of cupboard space for your crockery. The country style bathroom has a bath & shower, along with the convenience of a separate toilet. The 3rd bedroom has sliding doors leading out to the covered 6mx4m entertaining area. A stone storage shed next to the house is a testament to the stonemason responsible and has been give a bright new lease of life with an Alsynite roof. There is a 2 car carport adjacent to the house, as well as an old Nissan hut which will house another 2 vehicles. The well established gardens are planted with a variety of native & exotic plants & a variety of fruit trees including apricot, peach, pear & a grand old mulberry tree will provide you with home grown produce. Up behind the house are 2 lined stables and yards, tack room, shed & lean to. The handyman will appreciate the 2 phase power connected to the shed to handle the rigours of welding etc. By the number of ribbons on display in the house, it is obvious the property is well suited to horses & riding. A gravel driveway leads from the back entrance, past the level arena, to the back of the stables for easy float access. There is also a double garage and 30′caravan (which is available to purchase separately). The fencing has been done to allow riding access around the boundary of the property with gates at the outer end of the internal fences. 2 paddocks have been cut for hay in the past with good results. The dam has recently been cleaned out & with the jetty & small gazebo, will make a great place to while away a summer afternoon. The owners have planted shelter belts on the property with SA blue gums on the boundary & Tasmanian blue gums around the dam area. There is approximately 125,000 litres of rainwater storage on the house & sheds. This property is ideally located between Birdwood and Mount Pleasant, enjoying the services of both towns. The school bus to Birdwood High & Primary passes the gate, the Cromer tennis courts are across the road and there are ample quiet country roads to walk or ride down.
