The moment you see its distinct, curvaceous and undeniably architectural facade is the moment it comes as no surprise that Max Pritchard has his talented fingerprints all over this 2010 built residence etched into the higher ground of its magical 47 acre (approx) holding.
Set back to survey pure seclusion and a gum-studded 'Australiana' setting, this wing-spreading, solar-powered home draws on its prolific double glazing, raked ceilings and northern aspect to put a rare premium on light, outlook and the soul-soothing land it was cut from.
Every bedroom, bathroom and living zone - including a vast open-plan arena with glazing on both sides - frames its own interpretation of a lifestyle property with six paddocks, two dams, several places to entertain outdoors, prolific shedding and a studio cabin for good measure. Thank you, Max. Thank you very much.
Open the door to:
• A rare 47 acre (approx) Highland Valley holding that feels genuinely removed from the world, with no immediate neighbours, open sky, abundant birdlife, stockyards, 1000 gum trees and that deep, dry-country quiet only proper acreage can deliver.
• Max Pritchard architecture with a point of view, from the curved roofline inspired by an eagle's wings to the way the ceilings rise northward, dragging winter sun deep into the home and turning thermal performance into something sculptural
• A winged floorplan with the main suite claiming its own private zone while the opposing wing hosts two further bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom
• A vast open-plan living arena framed by western red cedar double glazing on both sides, where Wistow quarry stone, raked ceilings, a salvaged jetty-beam mantle and open fire pull the whole room back to the land around it
• A kitchen headlined by its unique jarrah butcher's block island, integrated pull-out fridge, Smeg and NEFF appliances, butler's pantry and a broad connection to the dining, living and outdoor entertaining zones
• A main bedroom wing with built-in joinery, direct outdoor connection and an ensuite
• A children's wing with a truly memorable bathroom, where an imported tin freestanding bath, rain shower, dark tiling, stone feature wall and window seat turn everyday ritual into something far more indulgent
• Outdoor living on both sides of the home, led by a full outdoor kitchen and rain-sensor Vergola to the northern side, plus a second covered entertaining terrace to the south
• A home that works hard beneath the beauty, with solar power, extensive rainwater, reverse-cycle air conditioning, an open fireplace and double glazing
• A two-car garage, workshop, powered shed and utility room ready to serve as a home office, gym, studio or serious extra storage
• A studio cabin that adds rare flexibility, for extra space or for a creative escape, separate home office
• A desert garden, stone walls, gravel drives and native plantings that don't try to tame the setting but sharpen it; giving the whole property that grounded, distinctly Australian beauty Max Pritchard homes so often understand.
Highland Valley is the quiet prize here: a pocket of gum-studded acreage country that gives the home its privacy, outlook and unmistakable sense of place, while still keeping Mount Barker, Strathalbyn, Macclesfield, Meadows and the Fleurieu Peninsula's beaches, wineries and weekend rituals within easy reach. It really is something else.
