A luxurious return to nature on Sheoak.
Escape to the bush in style in Crafers West, your private hills retreat a short drive to the Crafers Hotel, Stirling Shopping Precinct and the iconic Sheoak Café.
Owner-built in '93 and driven by a desire to build in sympathy with its surroundings, the home is inspired by the work of architect Alistair Knox and the mudbrick homes of Eltham, Victoria.
The home rests on approx. 10 acres on quiet Sheoak, neighbouring the expanses of Belair National Park. Exceedingly private, its rectangular allotment runs down the valley to Brownhill Creek at its base.
Mud brick is cosy, textural and comforting. The architect used Cyprus pine heroic posts to shape a central passageway through the home, creating height that bestows raked ceilings on each room, finished with pine ceilings and more Cyprus pine to round out the home's warmth.
You'll love your new routines. Imagine waking each morning in the main bedroom, sipping coffee in bed and watching the sun rise over Mount Lofty. Enjoy a lovely 45-minute walking loop through Belair National Park, pass two waterfalls along the way, then return home to take breakfast alfresco with a view over the Brownhill Creek Valley. Pure bliss.
A spacious first lounge and dining offers sweeping views and a roaring open fire under cathedral ceilings, with an adjacent study or fourth bedroom fitted with a wall-to-wall timber desk, while through to the kitchen, a cosy second lounge complimented with a Yunca combustion heater creates floorplan flexibility for families.
A large family kitchen centres around Blackwood timber benchtops, with Baltic pine cabinetry and stainless steel appliances including a new Smeg gas cooktop tying warm tones with modern practicality.
The kids' wing includes two further carpeted bedrooms, sharing another large bathroom with bath, separate toilet and modern vanity. And a home to please the kids it is! Raise them amongst nature in a space they can explore, climb and swim.
In your incredible, entirely native gardens, discover Spider and Donkey orchids and the serenity of your own private waterfall, whilst through the winter months, you can enjoy the satisfaction of foraging your own firewood.
Wildlife will become their everyday, from sleeping koalas to nesting birds and a chorus of abundant birdlife and croaking frogs, while practical veggie gardens and a dog-enclosed courtyard can be found around the side of the property.
At the end of the day, sip champagne in the resort-style spa under the stars it's your party. You'll soon forget your worries on Sheoak.
