109A Quarry Road

Spring Farm SA 5453

A classic silhouette of steeply pitched gables and custom orb cladding combine to conjure striking contrast with the towering trees and billabong that stand before a 2008-built home with an inspired H-shaped floorplan.

It's a footprint that affords privacy and solitude with the same sense of purpose as it does draw everyone to the inspired galley kitchen and west-facing deck at its light-filled heart.

Headlined by European appliances at every turn, butler's pantry, and a seemingly endless (5.5m) stone-topped island, the crowd can gather, graze and watch the chef get to work in what is one of the most impressive kitchens we've seen in some time.

The kitchen feeds an expansive north-facing living zone with lofty vaulted ceilings, enough space to host 'The Last Supper' and a two-way fireplace that gives the sitting room subtle separation.

In summer, the adjacent north-facing alfresco deck/pavilion will dish up an elevated perspective of your Alison Aplin designed gardens to go with dinner and a few drinks.

Retire to one of three bedroom suites, each with a private bathroom and their own unique outlook. On account of its custom walk-in robe with room for 50 pairs of Jimmy Choo, you'll likely claim what was affectionately coined the "Mocha Room".

Rivalling the main home in looks and scale is a 21m x 6m steel framed shed with double garage and workshop for your big toys, tools and tinkering.

Just when you think Thorn Park by the Vines can't get any better, along comes the AirBnB-ready, self-contained studio apartment with sleek kitchenette, French doors to a private terrace, under-floor heating, bathroom, and a mezzanine style bedroom.

The sum of its parts adds up to what could be a business, your home...or both. And it's a beautiful thing, inside and out.

THE LOCATION

Located on the edges of Sevenhill in the Clare Valley, Thorn Park takes up proud place in one of Australia's most revered wine growing regions, just a 2-hour drive from Adelaide. What feels a world away from any civilisation is rather just a 10-minute drive from the heart of Clare and moments from the likes of Mitchell Wines and Skillogalee Winery and Vineyard.
