A Character Hills Home on Acreage with Renovation Potential

Set amongst the rolling landscape of Scott Creek, 520 Scott Creek Road presents a rare opportunity to secure a character-filled Hills home on approximately 6.35 acres, offering the space, privacy and potential to create something truly your own. With the home remaining largely original and surrounded by usable acreage, this is a property where its existing character can be appreciated today while providing an exciting foundation for the future.

Dating from circa 1950s, the home retains a genuine sense of period charm, with approximately 187sqm of living space, 3m ceilings and generous proportions throughout. Four spacious bedrooms are complemented by two bathrooms, including a second bathroom positioned alongside the laundry. The master bedroom measures approximately 4.96m x 4.88m, while bedroom two offers an impressive 4.87m x 4.26m.

At the heart of the home, the large kitchen provides an abundance of storage and features an Everhot Deluxe 204 slow-combustion wood stove and cooker, creating a natural focal point for the home. Original Jarrah flooring extends throughout the residence beneath the existing carpeted areas, offering an opportunity to restore and showcase one of the home's most distinctive features.

The main living area is centred around the original stone fireplace, with its stonework thoughtfully restored, now complemented by a new combustion heater. A split system provides additional comfort, while a separate enclosed sunroom creates another versatile space overlooking the surrounding acreage.

Outside, the front verandah wraps around the front and right-hand side of the home, while a rear verandah connects to the laundry and second bathroom. From the home, the outlook extends across the property and towards the neighbouring dam and grazing land, reinforcing the peaceful rural setting.

The approximately 6.35-acre allotment offers a combination of established home grounds, a wood yard and a larger paddock of approximately five acres. The land is primarily usable and provides an ideal scale for those seeking a private hobby-farm lifestyle, with room for gardens, small-scale grazing or simply enjoying the space and surrounding landscape.

A woodlot of approximately 400sqm adds further practicality, while a concreted 9m x 6.19m shed provides substantial additional storage and vehicle accommodation.

The property is supported by an extensive rainwater system, including a 5,000-gallon tank capturing water from the home and pumping to a 20,000-gallon header tank. A further 20,000-gallon tank remains on the property but is currently disconnected from its former bore supply. The property is otherwise supplied entirely by rainwater.

Positioned directly opposite Scott Creek Primary School and next to Scott Creek Oval, the property offers an enviable Hills lifestyle while remaining conveniently connected to surrounding townships. Stirling, Crafers and Aldgate are approximately 11 minutes away, Mount Barker approximately 22 minutes, with Adelaide CBD accessible in around 32 minutes.

For those looking beyond the polished and finished home, 520 Scott Creek Road offers something increasingly difficult to find:*a genuine character Hills residence, substantial acreage and the freedom to shape the property around your own vision.
