Set on a 2172sqm allotment fronting the reserve on two sides, this architecturally designed Samalex custom home is genuinely the only one of its kind by the builder, a fact that becomes obvious the moment you arrive. The gravel driveway, the considered passive solar orientation, the deciduous screening on the northern boundary, and the sheer scale of the gardens tell you this is a property that was conceived with intention and built without compromise, right in the heart of Martindale Estate in Mount Barker.
Inside, the kitchen anchors the home with 20mm Inavogue stone benchtops, an integrated Miele dishwasher, Blum soft-close cabinetry with a corner twin lazy Susan, and a 900mm Fisher and Paykel freestanding self-cleaning Pyrolytic oven with wok burner. A feature pendant draws the eye over the breakfast nook, and the room flows naturally into the everyday living zone where a slow combustion fireplace sits at the centre of family life, timber floating floors run underfoot, and full-length windows frame the garden. Comfort all year round is assured with ducted reverse cycle air conditioning throughout.
The formal dining room and what can only be described as a billiards room, with its Nordic design character and full-length windows, give the floorplan a sense of occasion rarely found at this price point.
The master suite sets a high bar, with an oversized walk-in robe, pendant lighting as a design feature, ceiling fan, and a fully renovated ensuite that includes a twin floating vanity with stone benches, floor-to-ceiling tiles, Italia ceramics, Caroma fittings, and strip drain shower. The main bathroom matches the renovation standard, adding a deep freestanding bath and the same stone and tile palette. Bedrooms two, three, and four cover every lifestyle need and all with ceiling fans and serviced by a separate WC. New wool carpets, fresh paint, new light fittings, and new window treatments tie the whole interior together.
Shedding that sets this property apart. The workshop is fully lined with a concrete floor and evaporative air conditioning, with room for two vehicles. The four-car garage also features a concrete floor, plus a service pit and double carport extension. Both sheds are independently wired with their own circuit breakers and single-phase power, while the house enjoys three-phase power. Four tanks holding approximately 20,000 litres combined ensure the garden is never short of water, as well as mains water connected to the property.
The outdoor spaces reward time spent outside. A deck with shade runner, a courtyard fire pit area, a productive vegetable garden with artichokes, rhubarb, and self-sown perennials, a potting shed with recycled opening windows, a dog run, wood storage, and established natives including Correas, Diosmas, and apricot, apple, lemon, plum, pear and mandarin trees make this a garden that earns its keep across every season. Pop-up sprinklers in the lawn and a reticulated watering system throughout mean the 2172sqm stays manageable.
