Description: Where Downing Street reaches its cul-de-sac conclusion, this tightly-held property fans out across more than 2700sqm of flat, nature-veiled freedom and the added appeal of subdivision potential (STCC) hitting the sweet spot between rural escape, future opportunity and suburban utopia. Pulled well back from the road to create pure seclusion, you'll feel your troubles dissolve with every step toward this periodically updated home held by the one family for 35 years. Inside, a floorplan that doesn't force a moment but gives you a choice, from open, social living zones to quieter corners that retreat without disconnecting. The kitchen - featuring quality appliances, gas cooking, deep storage and a breakfast bar - acts as the social centre of a home that also retreats to an ensuited main bedroom. Glass sliders pull the indoors outward to a sprawling, semi-enclosed patio where timber beams, combustion heater and sheer scale turn entertaining into an all-seasons habit. A study has work-from-home ambitions covered, while a sunroom doubles down on that indoor-outdoor blur; part retreat, part greenhouse, and entirely hard to leave. A stroll uncovers manicured lawn, productive gardens, veggie beds, a hot house, your very own rainforest and a walking bird aviary that turns a moment into something a little more meditative. Prolific shedding and off-street parking ensure big toys and tinkerers have their place, while the 6.6kW solar system quietly offsets it all in the background. Just four minutes from Mount Barker centre, 30 from the CBD and moments from wetlands, community sporting facilities, historic Hahndorf and a range of cellar doors, you'll call home a pocket that makes it easy to live locally and still feel connected to the wider Adelaide Hills story.
