Jaw-dropping Adelaide Hills farmhouse at Carey Gully has surprising interior

An idyllic Adelaide Hills property that comes with five dams, a swimming pool, sprawling gardens and equestrian facilities presents a wonderful opportunity for families seeking an active, outdoor lifestyle.

In the 12 years that vendor Kathryn has lived at 89 Gully Rd, Carey Gully, she has never had difficulties convincing her son to play outside.

“He has his friends come over and they don’t want to go home because there’s so much to do here,’’ Kathryn said.

The Carey Gully property at 89 Gully Rd is impressive from every angle.

The main house is open and surrounded by wide windows.

The kitchen is a highlight of the home.

The pool can be enjoyed rain, hail or shine.

“We’ve got the dams with a rowboat, a big firepit, the pontoon and the jetties and also the ponies.

“It’s got amazing native animals – we have got a resident koala and she seems to have a baby each year and there’s kangaroos and pink galahs and wedge-tailed eagles.”

The 2.02 ha property hosts a bespoke four-bedroom homestead featuring Mount Gambier limestone, raw concrete and warm timber accents.

A breezeway constructed of repurposed jetty pylons connects the bedroom wing to an open-plan living area, with a chef’s kitchen with an array of Miele appliances, including three ovens, and a butler’s pantry.
