Take in the fresh air when you arrive home to this jewel of a haven set in the Piccadilly Valley nestled in the beautiful Adelaide Hills.
Set in nearly an acre, the expansive views over the Botanic Gardens towards Mount Lofty will take your breath away.
Meander through the established garden rooms of native, European and Oriental plantings of camellias, rhododendrons and unusual plant specimens.
The daily and seasonal changes of colour of this panorama will feed your soul over and over again.
The tree-lined gravel driveway leads you to a light and airy home with high ceilings and gorgeous garden views from every window.
A large and comfortable open-plan lounge and dining room unfolds to a covered patio and sculptured lawn leading to the parterre vegetable garden and orchard of selected citrus, figs, plum, apricots and blueberry.
The Cheminées Philippe fireplace, reverse cycle air-conditioning and the triple glazed windows in this room will keep you winter-warm and summer-cool.
Bordering the lounge and dining room is a light-filled breakfast/family room.
Situated strategically to it is the custom-built kitchen replete with Miele appliances, composite stone bench tops and glass splash backs.
You will enjoy cooking up a storm with your home-grown produce whilst watching the activity of the abundant native bird life through the large picture windows.
Positioned at the other end of the living room is the inviting and spacious master bedroom suite, a walk-in robe and ensuite which comes with the toasty comfort of underfloor heating and heated towel rail.
Start your day with a cup of tea on your bedroom sofa as you look out of the bedroom windows and watch the day break.
Each season offers its delights – fog rolling down the hillside or dazzling sunshine.
Its all glorious.
This well-designed home has a separate wing with three more light, airy and spacious bedrooms, all with garden views, serviced by a modern and well-appointed bathroom and separate toilet.
Doing the laundry will never be a chore again with the generous proportions, cupboard and bench top space that this custom-built room provides.
The external laundry door leads to another lovely fenced cottage garden and orchard of apple and pear trees.
You have direct internal access to the double garage that has a cleverly positioned air-conditioned lockable wine store.
Say goodbye to huge electricity bills.
This home is equipped with a 5kW solar panel system with 10.2kWh lithium batteries and Kaco/Selectronic inverter.
Enjoy triple-filtered rainwater from a 35,000 litre concrete tank plumbed to the house – your tea and coffee will taste better, your skin and hair will love it too.
This property offers you a fabulous lifestyle opportunity – a comfortable home with the chance to harvest your own food, gather your hens eggs from the chicken coop, let the kids play in nature, kick back and enjoy good times with family and friends around the fire pit watching the sun set, whilst spotting kangaroos in the valley and koalas in the overhead gums.
All this, conveniently located just minutes from Stirling main street, Crafers hotel, Crafers Primary School, 20 minutes to the CBD and buses to Adelaide colleges.
