238 Vale Road, Highland Valley, SA 5255

Sold

'Corymbia Heights' - Switch into freedom mode on a self-sufficient, 38-acre estate.

Is it the country dream or true independence? It's both. With a modernised homestead and separate retreat, a cloak of majestic gums, grazing land and rolling countryside, live and thrive off-grid on a wondrous 38-acre domain.

There's nothing like the empowerment of self-sufficiency, and as spring warmth settles in, a 12kW solar system kicks things up a notch.

For the hands-on, the property's infrastructure includes a 4-bay implement shed and 2-bay vehicle garage, grazing paddocks for livestock, some 130,000L of rainwater storage, grazing plus 16 acres of regenerative and reseeded native vegetation, plus permaculture-inspired organic gardens.

Featuring stone and Western Red Cedar, the 3-bedroom homestead offers a modern neutral base against the bursts of furnished colour you bring to its dual living zones, shaker-style kitchen, mudroom, modern bathroom and master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe; the country essentials include a wood combustion and open fireplace.

The care and attention to detail right across the property is evident, with renowned mural artist Cat Dean leaving her creative mark on the retreat; and it's a fitting gesture to the lifestyle at play here.

Neat and cosy, the retreat offers twin rooms, a wet area and a wood-fired baker's oven, stamping it as an inspired hideaway to work, relax or create.

As for the Australian native & Mediterranean grounds, you'll celebrate the seasons discovering every interesting nook, pocket and point of interest; and despite the quiet and idyllic setting, historic Strath and Mount Barker's sprawling mecca are yours in minutes.

Turn your back on them both and traverse the tree-lined driveway to the heart of arguably one of Highland Valley's finest holdings; earth-friendly, sustainable, and fabulously modern.

The best part is you needn't answer to anyone…
