Etched into its own mini valley spanning some 22 acres, 'Bellenden House' - the vision of architect Tim Geue and its adoring owners - realises a beautiful world of its own, just a 5-minute drive from historic Hahndorf.
The architect's brief: create an efficient, far-reaching home that flexes to the changing demands of a modern family and melds with its natural surrounds.
The result: a solar-driven, battery-backed home that is striking in its sheer scale and as naturally beautiful as the ancient gums, dam and pool it frames at every available opportunity.
Prolific double glazing and solid Basket Range stone define the facade - and passive energy efficiency - of this 6-bedroom home with a fully-fledged theatre room and study amongst the 10 main rooms and cellar it forges.
Stretching wide on its south-north axis, the way this wing-spreading home flows is something to behold, exhaling with pride at its boundless open-plan nucleus.
Those wings can be closed off. One with a poolside games room/retreat, three bedrooms and the kids' names written all over it. The other, home to your bedroom and its walk-in robe, ensuite and a wide-eyed dam view you'll feel before your feet hit the ground.
With granite benchtops, solid Blackwood cabinetry, Miele appliances, breakfast bar and walk-in pantry, the kitchen embodies the home's supreme functionality and enduring quality.
Whether it's the lofty ceilings, heated floors, custom doors and joinery, ducted a/c or integrated vacuuming system, the beauty lives in the details.
Around it, a horse arena, that sail-shaded and solar heated pool, extensive shedding, bore-fed paddocks and the sense you could be anywhere. You are just 30 minutes from Adelaide. Out of this world.
