A light-filled sanctuary in Aldinga Arts Eco Village

Best Offers By 12pm Tuesday 20th October (unless sold prior) At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within the much-loved Aldinga Arts Eco Village, this beautifully considered four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is a spacious sanctuary immersed in light, greenery and an unmistakable sense of calm. Set on 604m², the home was built in 2015 by local craftsman builders, with a thoughtful design that brings together natural materials, generous proportions and a strong connection to the landscape. Mount Gambier Stone, warm timber floors, galvanised iron detailing and high ceilings give the interiors a relaxed, tactile quality, while wide gallery-style hallways create wonderful spaces to display artworks, books and treasured collections. Natural light moves beautifully through the home throughout the day. The generous open-plan living and dining area is warm and inviting, with timber floors and a feature wall of Mount Gambier Stone providing both character and thermal mass. Large format sliding doors lead to the north-facing rear deck, where treetop views across the adjoining conservation park create a wonderfully private outlook - the perfect setting for long summer lunches, relaxed barbecues or drinks with friends as the sun goes down. At the heart of the home is a generous cook's kitchen, designed as much for conversation as it is for cooking. It features a Bosch induction cooktop and electric oven, substantial Jarrah benchtops, a large island bench, abundant storage and a surprisingly spacious walk-in butler's pantry. A partially integrated dishwasher keeps the clean lines intact. The king-sized master suite is a particularly peaceful retreat, with a large walk-in robe and ensuite overlooking the rear garden and conservation park. Three further bedrooms, all with plantation shutters, look towards the leafy front garden. The bright family bathroom includes a deep soaking bath and rainfall shower. The front bedroom offers flexibility as a private consulting room, studio or professional home office. An unusually generous laundry provides excellent storage along with a built-in desk, making it a genuinely useful extension of the home rather than an afterthought. The home's environmental credentials are seamlessly woven into its design. Double-glazed windows and rear sliding doors enhance thermal efficiency and open the living spaces to the deck, while the distinctive butterfly roof, 2.7m ceilings and carefully considered floor plan encourage natural light, airflow and passive heating and cooling. Comfort is well catered for in every season, with gas ducted central heating, evaporative ducted cooling, ceiling fans throughout and split-system reverse-cycle air conditioning in the main living area. Wall and roof insulation, electric-boosted solar hot water and a 3.2kW solar power system further contribute to the home's energy efficiency, reflected in its impressive environmental score of 8. Rainwater is collected in two tanks with a combined capacity of 45,000 litres and is plumbed to the house. The property is connected to mains electricity and the village water system, with the Community Wastewater Management System providing wastewater services. NBN Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) provides fast, reliable connectivity for work and home life. Outside, the established landscaping creates a lush and private setting, with plenty of space for children to explore and play. Undercover parking for two cars and a workshop add everyday practicality. Beyond the garden, a bush track leads through the surrounding landscape towards beautiful Port Willunga beach and the Willunga Basin coastal trail, while the shops, cafés and restaurants of Aldinga are within easy walking distance. But perhaps the most special aspect of this property is the community in which it sits. Life in Aldinga Arts Eco Village: Aldinga Arts Eco Village is home to around 180 households, with a diverse mix of young families, retirees, renters and long-term residents. It is a community shaped by a shared respect for the land, sustainable living and creativity, while still allowing residents to enjoy their own privacy and independence. The village is governed as a community corporation. Village levies fund roads, paths, dams, lighting, parking, the water treatment plant, vegetation and orchards, as well as the much-loved Sharing Shed community hall. Much of the village's work is supported by volunteers, helping keep levies comparatively modest. New residents are welcomed into village life with a welcome pack and a community "buddy", while nine neighbourhood groups care for shared lands and orchards. Monthly working bees provide an opportunity to pitch in for a couple of hours before neighbours gather for a relaxed cuppa and conversation. Participation is encouraged, but always a personal choice. Creativity is woven into the fabric of the village, with residents organising workshops, exhibitions and social gatherings throughout the year, including SALA events, film nights, open-mic evenings, yoga, singing, book clubs, craft afternoons, playgroups, dance, card nights and communal meals. Warm evenings bring residents together around the shared pizza oven, while the Sunday morning ocean swimming group - affectionately known as "Swim Church" - heads down to the coast. There are also opportunities to become involved in the village's organic vegetable garden, honey harvesting, community orchards, allotments and various animal collectives, including chickens, goats and llamas. The village's online community platform, Blue Band, helps keep everyone connected - whether sharing produce, offering goods, organising events, asking for help or simply keeping up with what is happening around the neighbourhood. It is a place where community is genuinely lived rather than simply promised: neighbours know one another, skills are shared, creativity is encouraged and there is always the opportunity to join in.
