It's evident the moment you pass the stately gums and cattle grids - "Amorilla" is an extra-special family estate honouring every peak and valley of its rare and exhilarating rise, just 1km from Cobbs Hill Winery.
What began as an 8 hectare parcel 50 years ago has evolved into a 30-hectare (74.1 Acre) estate with 6 dams and 8 main paddocks, all crowned by a custom-built 5-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offering amazing 360-degree views.
The stately gums along with the meticulously maintained grounds-have taken decades to achieve their beauty, leaving a serene visual legacy for a privileged property, brought to market for the first time in 50 years.
While there's always potential to enhance the solid brick 1970s home flows in soft hues, new carpets, an 'Inavogue' French provincial kitchen, a renovated master ensuite, and a valuable north-south orientation that fills every pane with garden colour, glorious sunlight, and arguably the best views in the Adelaide Hills.
Enhancing the experience is the formal lounge -a special occasion space defined by tall glazing, soaring rafters, and a monumental stone-clad mantel framing the nearby gums and distant hills, ideal for an entertaining nightcap in front of a blazing open fire.
Retreating to privacy and rolling countryside, the master bedroom's arched panes and sliding glass immerse you in the outdoors as the drapes peel back.
There's a large cellar for storage or your vintages. A sun-drenched alfresco, fragrant with lavender and poised for garden parties, plus indoor casual living and dining connection blessed with both north and south garden aspects and access.
With rich pastures suitable for horses or cattle, North facing slopes to grow your wine, you'll treat the kids to bonfires, horse riding, fishing for Redfin in the dam, or let them explore the property's many vantage points.
Because every sight you see within this hidden sanctuary deserves a wide-angle lens.
Just 10 minutes from the Freeway and 35 minutes from the city, this esteemed offering is adjacent to "Apple Tree Cottage"-the serene, sister listing at 357 Oakwood Road-creating a once-in-a-lifetime chance to secure one or both properties. Each property could be sold separately or together.
