Offers closed. This is how to define a one-of-a-kind property..... It's claimed the freestone cottage was built by a runaway from a British naval expedition before South Australia's proclamation in 1836, to the knighted Australian batsman who bought the property as a secret weekend hideaway… From the late 1950s, this was 'The Don's' family retreat. The family has remained it's proud custodian until now, but after 62 years, the time has come to leave... Discreetly set down a long tree-lined driveway well back from Sheoak Road, amongst a tapestry of cottage gardens, paddocks, stock dams, rambling undulation, and stringy barks, this is where history lives. Starting with a stone three-bedroom, two-bathroom lifestyle property beautifully and sympathetically upgraded over time with a gourmet country kitchen, a formal dining room, a sunlit upstairs family room with dormer-style windows, two large cellars, two crisp and timeless bathrooms (one a master ensuite, one with a spa), a mudroom, plus countless outdoor spaces to steal time away for yourself… From the return verandahs, the undercover gabled and paved courtyard where staying guests can retreat from their own wing, and opposite, a storeroom and cellar. Every bucolic outbuilding - the barn/workshop, storeroom and cellar, studio and stable - was made of Mt. Lofty freestone sourced from the site's decommissioned quarry; the same stone forging Old Government House in adjoining Belair National Park. Natural stone is a welcome feature throughout, so too, slatted timber and pressed tin ceilings, and open fires, combustion heater and wood stove reinforcing the home's colonial pedigree. Graze stock, enjoy the birdlife and nature, nearby walking trails, and the Overland train as it passes daily some 400m away is always a welcome distraction - or explore the bed and breakfast or boutique business opportunity such a rare property presents… Just a 7-minute dash to the famous Stirling Markets, 15 minutes to Burnside Village, Seymour College, or Mitcham Square, and a scenic jaunt from a string of award-winning Adelaide Hills cellar doors - for its sanctuary, celebrity, and history, Glenquarry Farm could be Crafers West's greatest of all time.
