Light Pass 238 Kalimna Road

This substantial four-bedroom homestead in a stunning Barossa location has been held in one family for over 70 years and is a rare find. The park-like entry with rolling lawns and an avenue of Golden Rain trees welcomes you to a land holding of over three acres. The property offers multiple income streams and amazing views overlooking vineyards just minutes from Nuriootpa township.
Town living is the furthest thing from your mind here though because the owners have created an enviable lifestyle where the best of country living can be enjoyed. This vicinity is known as Light Pass and was home to many early Barossa settlers including farmers and vignerons. Originally owned by grandparents who sustained themselves at this idyllic location with home grown produce, chickens and a milking cow to make their own butter, you can sense a timeless quality all around you.
Hard work and enterprise through several generations have laid the foundations for new owners to either appreciate the property as it is now or take it in a new direction. As a family home it will continue to give joy as you watch your children grow up here. For those looking for a base to establish their business, the infrastructure will excite a tradesperson. The potential for cellar door operations, food production, B&B hosts (STC) or other home-based businesses will ignite entrepreneurs.
The property has its own dry-grown Shiraz vineyard, which is currently under management, so it need not take up much time or effort as you pursue other endeavours. 'The Willows Vineyard' is across the road and neighbouring properties are also vignerons, so your sweeping vineyard vistas can be enjoyed without responsibility.
The tumble brick homestead with return veranda offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms and is surrounded by beautiful gardens, majestic shade trees and a myriad of outdoor entertaining areas. The property also includes mains power connection & solar panels.
The original four-room cottage that stood here was cleverly remodelled and retained within the new build, with many features remaining to reflect its heritage. Lofty ceilings, open fireplaces, leadlight, ornate ceiling centrepieces in the front bedrooms and pressed metal panels in the hallway dado pay tribute to the past. The original kitchen woodstove is now a feature fireplace in the study.
The main living areas are contemporary with light-filled rooms of generous proportions. Double doors open from the gracious tiled entry hallway into an exceptionally large formal lounge with original open fireplace, ceiling fan and Daikin ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning. On the other side of the entry hall a stunning open-plan family room with 10' ceiling combines living, dining and kitchen zones with a big combustion stove providing seasonal ambience. Picture windows offer an amazing outlook across the property.
Country elegance defines the kitchen with classic cream timber cabinetry, routed doors, Caesar stone benchtops, stainless steel electric hotplates and under-bench oven, Bosch dishwasher and a huge walk-in pantry that solves all your storage needs.
Sliding glass doors lead to the outdoor entertaining areas.
Every aspect of the homestead is exceptional. The bedrooms all have high ceilings, and the front three bedrooms all have vineyard views. In the sumptuous master bedroom suite there are built-in mirrored robes, elegant drapes and a spacious ensuite bathroom with full bath, shower, corner timber vanity and heat lamps. A further two bedrooms offer built-in robes and individual character. The fourth bedroom has a fabulous walk-in robe that was once the pantry for the original cottage and could be utilised as home office with excellent storage.
There is also a refined study or media room featuring the original hearth and fireplace from the early cottage kitchen. A second family bathroom and large laundry complete the accommodation.
Outside the grounds are peaceful and serene, but guests and laughter may well compete with the sounds of birds and frogs because this is a place to be shared and appreciated. Choose to relax in the breakfast nook surrounded by standard roses, dine under the veranda, master the grill installed within the built-in brick barbecue, laze on the back lawn or stroll across the pond boardwalk to the poolside gazebo. Framed by lush gardens bursting with colour and variety, this is paradise.
Summer entertaining will be enhanced by the inground fibreglass pool which has been meticulously maintained and is fully paved and fenced. Solar heated and salt chlorinated it measures ten metres long with a depth of 1.8 metres. It includes a spa, solar blanket and separate pump house.

Vehicle shedding includes a four-car garage with four separate roller doors, a single carport with panel lift door adjacent the house, a galvanised 6-bay vehicle shed (with original chook pens intact) and a machinery shed also suited to caravan storage with high roof clearance.
Home-based business possibilities abound. Adjacent the homestead is a huge multi-sectional workshop which incorporates work areas plus insulated shedding currently used as a spray booth with extractor fans, water and a floor grate. Other facilities include a pneumatic hoist, paint room, wet areas and a first-floor kitchen/lunchroom with the wow factor. Successfully trading as a restoration business specialising in vehicles, it nevertheless will suit a variety of pursuits and must be seen to visualise the options. Every inclusion has been well considered and executed.
Solar panels (2 x 5KW) have been fitted to the east and west facing roof line of the workshop which provides power for the entire property.
