Set in the picturesque Adelaide Hills, Summertown is famed for its vineyards, apple and cherry orchards, and market gardens growing wonderful produce such as strawberries and rhubarb. With a population of less than 1000 residents, it is the quintessential country township nestled in a rolling landscape of fields. Originally conceived as a retreat from the hot temperatures in Adelaide (hence its name), Summertown retains this feature with a variety of bed & breakfast-style accommodation throughout the area.
For people who own property there, this lovely setting provides the perfect backdrop for weekends away from the city or a permanent country dwelling. And for the owners of "Summertown Residence", their lovely home offers unspoilt views across the stunning landscape, with an elevated outdoor deck providing a fabulous entertaining space. But for a deck with a view, there are two important considerations to maximise use of the space: protection from the elements for year-round enjoyment, and the ability to connect with nature by keeping the view accessible.
