A short ten minute drive from the regional centre of Victor Harbor, will see you arrive at the front gate of this idyllic rural lifestyle getaway. Hidden away from view you will discover this spectacularly beautiful residence on rounding a bend in the driveway, sitting proudly in an prominent elevated position. Tree plantations hide the home from view of the road, providing a wonderful sense of calm as well as privacy. The rural vistas from the home are to die for - serene views capture Mt Alma and the rolling hills of the Inman Valley. The 21.09 hectare - 52 acre property ranges from flat to gently undulating and is fenced to three main paddocks with two smaller horse paddocks. The home built Circa 2013 was designed by acclaimed architect John Maitland, renowned for designing sustainable, energy efficient homes.
This home definitely has the "Wow" factor - north facing, with huge double glazed picture windows capturing the magnificent views from every room - polished concrete floors (with underfloor heating) are found in the long passageway, all living areas and master bedroom - new carpet has been laid in all of the other bedrooms. The home incorporates lots of recycled building materials - beautiful recycled bricks inside, with a Corten steel façade being two notable features. The central living area is sure to impress - it is stunning! High raked ceilings with huge picture windows and recycled feature brick wall will impress, as will the bi-fold doors which open out onto the large alfresco deck. This open plan living space includes kitchen, dining and living, with beautiful Caesarstone benchtops used throughout the kitchen and large walk-in pantry. The kitchen has a large "Ilve" oven with gas cooktop, "Miele" dishwasher and soft-close two pack cabinetry. A large ceiling fan adds another beautiful dimension to the room, as does the pendant lighting. The living space and beautiful alfresco deck look out over the recently installed solar heated salt water inground pool. For those who love to entertain, you will be in heaven here!
The master bedroom suite is found at the eastern end of the home - again a room with breathtaking rural views - light and bright with walk-in robe and spacious ensuite bathroom, with sumptuous bath (with views to match), large shower, vanity and wc. A home office and two large bedrooms are also found at this end of the home - one with access to another beautiful timber deck. Three more spacious bedrooms are found at the other end of the home - all enjoy a gorgeous outlook. There is a second living room which has sliding door access to the front lawn and swimming pool area. The main bathroom comes with floor to ceiling tiles, large shower alcove and vanity - there is a separate wc. The laundry has plenty of very handy storage space. Another recent renovation is the mud room which provides another welcoming entry point into the home - exposed aggregate pathways lead to two fabulous fully lined store rooms.
Excellent shedding comes in the form of a three car, lined garage (all with auto panel lift doors), an adjoining 9m x 6m workshop which also houses the pool filtration unit. There is another great implement shed - 12.5m x 8m, open front steel framed/Colorbond construction with concrete floor - a great spot for your boat or caravan. There is also a set of steel cattle yards with crush.
Additional features include a 15 Kw solar system (3 phase power is also connected), 300,000 litres of rainwater storage, and an additional 90,000 litres of water storage, pumped from the dam for the garden. There are three large woodlots comprising areas of Sugar Gum, Spotted Gum and Pine. To add to the sense of fun - there is also the "Pub in the Scrub" an iron clad outbuilding disposed to a garage and single room with built-in bar, fireplace - big bifold windows and verandah - the ultimate in 5 star campsites! Lush pastures and well fenced paddocks run up to 20 head of cattle, or a number of horses, for those with equine interests. Visit "Belicious Waffle House" a European inspired café, which is located just 100 metres from the front gate!
This is a gem of a property - beautifully presented and offering just so much - located close to Victor Harbor and the fabulous beaches of the South Coast, as well as being close to nearby Yankalilla and Normanville - McLaren Vale wine region is close at hand, as well as being an easy hour and fifteen minute commute to Adelaide.
