The story of this magical home is best told by the vendors themselves.

The “Ponderosa” has been our family home for 15 years and this property worked its magic on us from the beginning. You get a sense of this as you enter, driving up a winding track, with all the mystery of what lies ahead at the end of it. You may even see our regular family of kangaroos that come up from the gorge to enjoy the grass in the paddock alongside you. The garden unfolds as you drive in – enormous old eucalypts and a big weeping mulberry, laden with berries in Spring, greet you as you come around the final curve.

The house itself is always full of warmth and love and laughter. Generous in its proportions, two big living areas both with wood fires are perfect for entertaining large crowds or letting the kids have their own space when their friends are about! The outdoor entertaining area is covered in glory vines and provides a beautiful outdoor room for entertaining throughout the year while enjoying the magnificent view. In the master bedroom, lie in bed and watch the blue wrens hopping around the weeping wisteria while listening to the abundant birdlife, including parrots, kookaburras and black cockatoos. No traffic noises here. The view east from the large kitchen window over the lawns and into the distance surveying the vineyards of McLaren Vale is spectacular. You can mark the passage of time with the changing seasons while watching the vines change from dormancy in Winter, surrounded by green paddocks of the nearby grazing land, through to the bright lush greens of vintage time under the summer sun and vibrant oranges and reds of Autumn – the most spectacular season of all.

Our kids have grown up in paradise – climbing trees, building cubbies, chasing the chooks around the garden and camping out with friends in the paddock, toasting marshmallows by camp fires in Winter. We have been so lucky to be the ones to know the magic of the Ponderosa and although it’s hard to move on, times change and children grow and spread their wings, looking for new horizons. It’s time for us to move on and let the new owners discover their own magic in this piece of paradise.
