Last Listing description (December 2017)
An inspired vision that turned the raw, rustic and recycled into something truly special on its 8-acre block (approx.), this handcrafted 4-bedroom triumph is as timeless as it is refreshingly bold, nestled between historic Hahndorf & Echunga. Just 3 minutes from the freeway and 25 minutes from the City centre.
So clear was their vision, the uncompromising current owners spent four years searching far and wide for the timber and stone worthy of a home headlined by two free roaming levels, a lavish master suite, dynamic kitchen and a spa-blessed entertainer's wing.
From the Tasmanian Oak of a Port Adelaide courthouse, red gum from the old Hahndorf saw mill and the ironbark beam of a York Peninsula bridge, to the limestone of Western Australia and Monarto; every last beam, stair, board, door, architrave and pebble has a story to tell and a new lease on life.
This home's unique charm combines the clean lines of butt-glass windows and high ceilings with the character of re-cycled timbers and the warmth of natural stone surrounded by minimalistic landscaped gardens.
But the true masterstroke in its design is realised every time its earthy ruggedness is beautifully interrupted by the sleek modernity of iron, steel or glass - most notably in the bay-shaped kitchen boasting stainless steel tops and appliances, and the seamless north-facing picture windows that inhale the gums and dam beyond.
The floorplan is as considered as it is born to let your guests roam free amongst the dining room; an open-plan living room that instinctively draws you to its fire and feature wall; and, of course, that entertainer's wing...
Send some Nina Simone through the built-in Bose speakers, set the 8-person spa to hot a bubble, stoke up the LUUS BBQ of the built-in kitchen, and see how this conservatory style pavilion is a game-changer in a home that changes everything.
