Unique, intelligent, and perfectly equipped for this day and age. An eco-respectful style statement on 20 breathtaking acres, brought to life by the intuitive hands of Troppo Architects.
Grounded in the thermal stability of rammed earth, the durability of Australian hardwood, and softened by distinctly Scandinavian interiors, passive heating and cooling principles allow this family home to land like a feather on the landscape it's carved from.
Bring the livestock or savour a lifestyle where off-grid living is already in motion. With shedding for vehicles and machinery, four fenced paddocks, a well-equipped workshop space, and a detached retreat with a sensational wet room, the infrastructure is as refined as the vision.
Solar efficiency, double glazing, a northsouth stance, hydronic underfloor heating and cooling, and Riparian water rights combine to create a self-sustainable haven. Fully off-grid for water and virtually off-grid for power, summer's credits can quietly pay for winter's comfort.
And as one of the last-ever homes built by the award-winning, Mike Steen, it's as special is it is spatially aware.
Every room in the main home breathes out through French doors as internal sliding doors create seamless entry. Three bedrooms stretch vertically with lofted mezzanines, easily accommodating up to six queen beds. The TV zone is crowned by a library, the home office by a guest bedroom each room will flex to fit the guest count.
The open plan gathering zone enjoys indoor-outdoor flow, blessed with a pair of silent, industrial Big Ass fans and a Nectre combustion fire. The Blackwood kitchen is a sidestep from its gas-plumbed outdoor counterpart.
Two contemporary bathrooms feature Huon pine vanities; the primary suite with custom dressing robes and ensuite enjoys private alone time and idyllic picture views.
Encased by decks and terraces, every pause is rewarded. Neighbouring vineyards, wood-fired pizza nights, a semi-enclosed Tuscan courtyard, a secret alfresco beneath a cloak of wisteria, and a north-facing deck that captures the setting's own magical microclimate.
With autumn in full swing, the perimeter liquidambars come alive, while the valley's inversion layer veils the landscape in mist - it even glistens with frost in summer.
Enrichment, in its purest form. Discover native plantings along the Onkaparinga riverbank, the deep swimming hole, and eco-sensibility defined by earth, valley and this exquisite Troppo design.
