188 Collins Road, Ashton, SA 5137

Take a stroll around this sprawling 11.4 acre property and its soul-soothing beauty shifts with every step, finally settling where it all reaches its crest, levels out, and whispers, "this is where you're going to build". 

Those before you tend to agree; it's where they placed the existing 1930s cottage. Weary, but not entirely done with yet should you see the value in bringing its old bones back to life. 

Then there's the adjacent shed. Big, brimming with old timber and rusted-on charm - and perhaps perched on the best build site of all.

Why? Because, from here, the land gently falls away, clears a path across a far-reaching paddock, widens from east to west and fades into a distant Piccadilly Valley. 

It's a view that never gets old, watches the sun rise and dip, and changes with every passing hour and season. 

It's a view worthy of a home that takes it all in at every opportunity. Something multi-levelled, framed in abundant glazing, and far more expansive (STCC). 

As for the land itself; those boundless paddocks and open spaces are a glorious departure from most rural Hills properties. Ready for horses, sheep, alpacas or whatever you dream up, fence in or set free. 

Just a short drive from the quaint townships of Uraidla and Summertown, a beeline down Greenhill Road to suburbia and city, and a Sunday cruise to several cellar doors; this is where you're going to build one pretty special lifestyle.
