The experience and know how of a seasoned architect with the inspired creation of this modern two-storey homestead has embraced the wide open views right across the vast Onkaparinga Valley through to the Mount Lofty Towers. The outside bricks are a direct link in colour and design from the original Convict Warehouses in Sydney. The internal bricks are from the Adelaide Abattoirs and the heavy timbers from the Wool Stores.

Oozing with character and class there are no compromises on quality here. All of the rooms are light and bright and enjoy an open outlook. They are also well proportioned with 3m ceilings (2.9m upstairs). There is ducted air-conditioning throughout and the home is also wired throughout for internet modems and the latest technology; there is also a ducted vacuum system. Furthermore, every wall is insulated plus there is significant insulation between the first and second storey. Downstairs also offers underfloor heating.

Walking through the front door the entrance offers lofty dimensions, embracing the upstairs landing area via the staircase. The dedicated office or fifth bedroom on the left offers extensive built-ins and shelving. The formal lounge is breathtaking, linking to the huge kitchen family area via the immense timber beams and posts through to the large floor to ceiling windows which admirably take in the fabulous views and the large majestic gums on the land. The windows are double glazed and also provide a slight tint to reduce glare. The dedicated fire place offers an inbuilt American Lopi Slow Combustion log fire together with electric heat fan. Notably, the older timber style barn doors are handmade with Western Red Cedar.

The significant kitchen area offers a huge island bench, Miele dishwasher, central sink and an effective manual foot opening and operated dedicated rubbish bin area. There is also Fisher and Paykel bench top hot plates and exhaust fan, Fisher and Paykel double oven, a large corner pantry and water plumbed to the refrigerator.

The roof and walls are matchboard lined and has its own separate air-conditioning. This is a room offering significant ambiance – ideal for family entertainment and once again absolutely magnificent views. The large double garage also offers a spacious home workshop area.

Back in the main residence the Jarrah staircase leads to the upstairs landing – firstly into the Master suite, large walk in robe and then the en-suite.

The diesel pump on the large dam pumps water up to the garden tankthe water is then passed through a filter and filtration system. There is also a fully installed auto sprinkler system right around the grounds and a garden shed.

The outside entertainment area is fully paved and the outer perimeter has been complimented with electric remotely operated blinds on the back verandah. The remainder of the property is undulating and well fenced. There is a large shed and a good set of cattle yards. Furthermore, there is an inbuilt watering system from the dam with a Water Allocation and one paddock is set up for irrigation.
