Norton Summit SA 5136

On arrival the first impression is of a terraced hillside with colourful plantings and white gravel paths leading up the slope to the modern home. The stylish architecturally-designed house has been cleverly positioned to take full advantage of the sun in winter and to maximize shade in summer.
The entrance hall is welcoming and airy with red cedar doors and tasmanian oak floorboards. The large sitting room features a unique circular glass window without joints that provides a sweeping view of the valley below. The feel is contemporary and clean, no cornices, and with a circular fireplace enclosing an efficient combustion heater. An adjoining spacious dining area looks out to the rear elevated garden.
There are three bedrooms. The main overlooks the front garden and has floor-to-ceiling cupboards with a whimsical secret door leading to a discrete ensuite. The second bedroom also features built-ins while the third is currently serviced as a personal study. The main bathroom features neutral tiling and generous space.
The galley kitchen has sleek modern lines with ample bench tops, a built-in pantry, shiny stainless stove backing and quality Smeg appliances. An appealing 'country' feature is a antique wood stove that brings extra warmth and charm.
The laundry is compact and efficient, with a convenient bathroom and toilet with outside access.
Outside there is an all-season entertaining area with attractive concrete paving and is surrounded by a lush green garden with a rippling water feature. The spacious double garage (with remote door controls) could be used as a family/rumpus room, music stuido or extra bedrooms if the new owners so desire. There are two sheds on the property and a convenient working area has been built around the tank encompassing a workshop area, bottling area and cellar ideal for wine storage.
The 130 Cherry trees are well established and easy to maintain with an annual average income of $8,000-$13,000. Automatic watering is provided throughout the orchard and garden supplied by a bore and rainwater, with a huge 20,000 gallon rainwater tank supplying the house. There are loads of features that make this property self-sufficient and in keeping with the times, including an Envirocycle septic tank that provides recycled water for the garden.
