Last Listing description (December 2019)
**Access to the home is on the right hand side a few hundred metres from the township of Montacute. There is a long dirt road and we will have signage to direct traffic. Both roads lead to the home but it is best to stay right.**
With its sense of 'Australiana', pure seclusion, and off-grid ways; rarely as such luxury been so beautifully disconnected from the busy world, let alone just a 20-minute drive from the CBD...
If the rigours of suburbia or city life are just too much to bare, then this 2011 Richard Heading built home answers the call with the help of a bill-free 98-panel solar system, back-up generator, endless rain and bore water, and elevated gum-studded views of Black Hill.
Make no mistake; to build a home of such scale and planet-saving functionality was a bold endeavour, making it such a thought-provoking triumph on some 50 acres of what was gold mining country.
Dressed in Mount Gambier limestone, this 3-4-bedroom home of multiple living areas uses its elongated footprint to inhale as much of its northern orientation as possible.
And so the view is never lost, whether you're wooing guests by the fireplace of the formal lounge, tucking into a casual meal at the bay-windowed dining zone, cooking up a storm in the gourmet, stone laden kitchen or waking up in the master wing.
Much like the master wing, the guests' quarters comes with a luxurious ensuite, as well as private external access via the double garage - making it primed for an independence-craving teenager or weekend visitors eager to explore the region with little fanfare.
The parquetry Jarrah floors of the spacious entry foyer are symptomatic of a home with the best of everything; including a kitchen boasting Smartstone tops, integrated fridge and the full-quota of Smeg and Miele appliances.
A second lounge room opens up to a rear courtyard etched into the stone-laden side of the hill, carving out a truly unique backdrop to brunch on a property with manicured gardens and your very own bunker. There's nothing else quite like it. And it's a beautiful thing.
