Set on approximately 28 captivating acres in the serene Jupiter Creek region, this stone-fronted family residence encapsulates a timeless lifestyle enriched by rural charm and functional versatility. The property's substantial land area, featuring seven fenced paddocks and mature gardens, creates an inviting environment for those with equestrian interests, gardening ambitions, or simply a desire for ample space to realise diverse plans.

Constructed by Colony Homes in 1998, the home's design pays homage to the Federation villa style, offering architectural character through terracotta roofing, tessellated tile patterns, decorative ceiling roses, and expansive three-metre ceilings that emphasise spaciousness and historic elegance. This unique blend of heritage-inspired craftsmanship and modern family living is reflected in the well-proportioned rooms, including a main bedroom retreat with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, accommodating both privacy and comfort.

The residence's layout carefully balances multiple formal and casual living spaces, providing flexible zones to either unwind or entertain, alongside a thoughtfully arranged open-plan kitchen that serves as a hub connecting social interaction with sweeping rural views. Complementing this is a self-contained wing complete with kitchen facilities, ideal for extended family members or guests seeking independence while remaining connected to the household.

For equestrian pursuits and outdoor hobbies, the property offers a grass dressage arena, round yard, and three partially completed stables, along with extensive shedding powered by three-phase electricity, designed to support various projects and storage needs. Water resources are well-managed with concrete troughs fed by gravity-supplied rainwater, dam-fed irrigation for the gardens, and interconnected infrastructure including a bore. Energy needs are addressed with two solar systems, electric heat-pump hot water, and a petrol generator, enhancing the self-sufficiency of this rural sanctuary.

The gardens and orchard are not only aesthetically pleasing but productive, with established vegetable beds and a chicken coop that foster a sustainable lifestyle. Rainwater tanks with considerable combined capacity and solar electric fencing underline the property's commitment to efficient resource management. Fire safety is incorporated with pumps and hose reels strategically distributed across the estate.

Situated conveniently close to Echunga’s village amenities and within reasonable access to Mount Barker’s comprehensive shopping and service facilities, this property presents an excellent opportunity for families seeking a tranquil country lifestyle, with the convenience of urban connectivity nearby.
