181 Winter Road

Bower SA 5374

The main house is completely unique and constructed from mud brick and one shipping container. The open plan design includes living, dining, kitchen and a spacious bedroom.

Huge north-facing glass windows showcase the endless bushland and native birdlife that share the property with you.

In winter, passive solar and a Jotul wood-burning combustion heater will keep you toasty. The kitchen has a Rayburn combustion stove, and there is solar hot water. Capture summer breezes by opening up the French doors on both sides of the house. Shade sails on the north side of the home also help regulate the heat.

A mud-brick guest studio allows you to welcome visitors, or use the property as an eco-retreat for paying guests. It has a queen bed, solar power, and Jotul slow combustion heater, with its own outdoor kitchen.

Outside, discover endless delights to pass the days. An outdoor wood-fired pizza oven, large outdoor table setting, and campfire area are an entertainer's dream. Cool off in the refreshing plunge pool.

Watch the sunset while relaxing in a warm outdoor bath with nothing but the endless sky above you. The one-of-a-kind outdoor bathroom has a romantic rock wall for privacy, with a timber decked floor, freestanding tub, and shower.

The property enjoys 60,000L of rainwater storage with a catchment system and compost-rich raised vegetable gardens set up as wicking beds.

As a completely off-grid home, you won't pay power or water bills, and council rates are minimal. There is a sustainable supply of firewood on the property, with 2 years' worth already cut and stored for you.

The buildings sit on a huge 32 ha property with views across to the Mount Lofty Ranges at the rear of the property and plenty of ideal sites for glamping. Abundant wildflowers bloom in spring, and the air is sweet with the sound of birdsong. Your only neighbors will be the native wildlife that shares the land with you.

It's set 13km from Thiele Highway, 30 minutes from Burra, Eudunda, and Morgan, and just 90 minutes from Adelaide. Sold on a walk-in-walk-out basis, this is a unique opportunity to own the eco escape of your dreams.
