357 Oakwood Road, Balhannah, SA, 5242, Australia

There's a quiet thrill to the scenery and solitude here. If you've ever indulged in a Charlotte Brontë novel, this Georgian pioneer, set on 13.29 picturesque hectares with idyllic dam views, evokes the same romance.

Despite the quirks of the 1880s 2-bedroom construction, 'Apple Tree Cottage' reserves the best for last: its endearing shuttered façade capturing the reflective beauty of an enormous dam (known as 'the lake') gifting every main room with a view.

Barely 1km from Cobbs Hill Winery and 35 minutes from the city, the 2-storey cottage – formerly a multi award winning bed and breakfast - offers two modest living rooms, an eat-in country kitchen, rear mudroom, and a heritage-style bathroom with tessellated floor tiles; upstairs, those tranquil lake views follow you to each generous bedroom, retiring beneath vaulted timber ceilings.

Only a leisurely stroll over of this blue-ribbon acreage with abundant water supply, 3-phase power and 2 dams uncovers a handful of equally spectacular sites from which you could build your modern farmhouse or grand design (STCC.)

Whether you choose to enhance or retire the cottage, honour the occupancy of its caring long-term tenant, or combine its unique potential with the neighbouring 30-hectare estate 'Amorilla,' both 339 and 357 Oakwood Road are available for sale, either together or separately.

From the willows to the old walnut tree, the cottage gardens of hyacinths and bluebells, to the most compelling country piece on site: a handmade structure housing an old horse-drawn cart, built from fallen gums - this is a lifestyle and a landholding to treasure…
