Tucked privately behind lush native gardens and shaded by established trees, this beautifully curated coastal retreat offers a tranquil escape just moments from the shoreline. A life-long collector of art and antiques is now offering her exquisite home for sale-a modern rustic sanctuary balancing the charm of organic textures with the clean lines and functionality of contemporary design. The feeling you get upon entering is enticing, enveloping you instantly in a sense of warmth and intrigue, and it's a feeling that lingers. Thoughtful design and artistic flair come together to create an inviting space that feels both timeless and current, with each room offering its own character while contributing to the home's cohesive, tranquil atmosphere.
At the heart of the home is a vast open-plan living zone framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and clerestory glazing, drawing the surrounding greenery indoors and lending the space a peaceful, pavilion-like feel. Aesthetically pleasing and beautifully appointed, this large living space includes a Miele kitchen, integrated refrigerator and Whispair ventilation. The brief to the kitchen designer was simple: create a kitchen you barely notice-sleek, refined and seamlessly part of the architecture - and the result is a stunning wall of minimalist cabinetry that enhances rather than interrupts the ambience. The laundry and pantry continue this theme of understated beauty, blending warmth, charm and functionality. A cosy combustion heater and the owner's curated collection of eclectic pieces add depth and personality, celebrating a life lived creatively.
Flowing from the living space are a series of outdoor garden rooms and meandering boardwalks, extending the home outward in the most captivating way. Louvred windows from the high-pitched roof, garden-facing corridors and sliding doors all work to blur the boundaries between indoors and out, allowing the natural world to become an intrinsic part of daily living. Multiple entertaining zones-including an elevated deck, covered verandahs and a tranquil garden gazebo-offer spaces to unwind among the greenery.
Accommodation includes a serene master suite with garden views, direct deck access, a walk-through robe and a charming ensuite. The bathrooms throughout the home are unique and handcrafted, each carrying its own personality and artistry, adding depth and distinction to these everyday spaces. Two additional bedrooms sit near the beautifully renovated main bathroom, finished with a large tub, feature tiling and calming natural light. A central courtyard, generous laundry, dedicated storage room, and secure garage and carport add to the home's practicality, while the surrounding gardens create a sense of complete seclusion and tranquillity.
Situated in one of Carrickalinga's most sought-after pockets, the property is just minutes from the pristine sands of Carrickalinga Beach-famous for its turquoise waters, wide stretch of shoreline and breathtaking sunsets. Normanville's village-style shopping precinct is a short drive away, offering cafés, boutiques, groceries and everyday conveniences. Families will value the proximity to Yankalilla Area School, Rapid Bay Primary School and quality early-learning options, while the region's coastal walking trails, fishing spots, world-class wineries and the Links Lady Bay golf course promise endless weekend enjoyment. Public transport links conveniently connect the area to nearby townships, making this peaceful setting as practical as it is picturesque. Everything about this home celebrates lifestyle, creativity and the natural beauty of the Fleurieu Peninsula.
