"Please wait at the bottom of the driveway until directed up"
Go 'off grid' where Glory Road ends and a Denis Noble-designed triumph in sustainable living serves 360-degree views to Maslin, McLaren Vale, Kuitpo and back again on some 77 acres of bore-fed land.
The ascent to this ingeniously designed home leaves the city's chaos at the gate of a boundless property with electric fenced paddocks, serious shedding and the scope to keep everything from goats and cows to alpacas.
There will be no power, water and gas bill in the letterbox. Ever.
And you can thank the sun that sets over the Gulf every afternoon - and more specifically the high-powered solar and battery back-up system that needs its own room to function in a home with the added bonus of a seperate studio/retreat.
Add to its 'green' ways a sun-deflecting Colorbond clad exterior, elongated eaves, double glazed western red cedar windows, low-energy lighting, advanced insulation, and thick stone walls.
The thermal qualities aside - in a home that was configured to keep the seasonal winds at bay, despite its elevated position - those stone walls are visual masterstrokes amongst solid timber floors, raked ceilings and light-grabbing seas of glass.
Make no mistake, this is as visually pleasing as it is clever - and kind to your pocket.
The open-plan heart of the home feeds a vine-covered patio with its very own wood fire pizza oven - the perfect foil for when you don't feel like cooking extravagant meals in a striking kitchen with solid timber and stone composite tops, stainless steel appliances and storage in spades.
Luxury comes naturally to a home with a 250sqm (approx) internal footprint and room for big bedrooms, including a master wing boasting a walk-in robe and a spacious, sleek ensuite...
It's your turn to soak up the self-sufficient sanctuary that is 'Mezgravas'.
