"This is country living on the edge of town. You have all of the amenities of the city right nearby and yet there are no houses close to you. We also designed the home with growing families in mind, with the open-plan living space offering a north-east aspect and large windows with views across the backyard so you can watch the children playing."

Set on more than 5,000sqm of beautifully landscaped grounds, this near-new residence by Empak Homes delivers an exceptional standard of family living, where thoughtful design, refined finishes and lifestyle excellence come together in one remarkable package.
Positioned within easy reach of the Blue Lake precinct, Blue Lake Sports Park and the heart of Mount Gambier, the property offers the rare combination of peaceful semi-rural space with everyday convenience close at hand.
Established hedging across three sides of the property creates privacy and a sense of seclusion, while expansive lawns and beautifully designed outdoor entertaining spaces make it perfectly tailored to growing families seeking space, freedom and connection with the outdoors.
Beyond the striking modern façade and grand portico entry, the home immediately impresses with wide hallways, 2.7m ceilings, timber floors and an abundance of natural light.
The central living domain is breathtaking in scale and detail, anchored by a stunning stone-look kitchen with waterfall-edge island bench, breakfast bar seating with designer lighting, extensive soft-close cabinetry, finger-tile splashback, induction cooktop and quality appliances.
Smart lighting to the butler's pantry and living area enhances both ambience and convenience, while the concealed pantry entry opens to reveal another layer of luxury, complete with integrated smart dishwasher, a second sink, generous preparation space and extensive cabinetry and shelving.
The adjoining living area is equally impressive in scale, framed by oversized picture windows and sliding doors that draw in natural light from the north-east aspect and create a seamless connection to the outdoors.
A striking timber-lined, recessed entertainment wall adds architectural interest and warmth, while the generous proportions ensure there is ample room for relaxed everyday living.
Framed by a trio of streamlined windows and designer pendant lighting, the adjacent dining area creates an elegant setting for everything from intimate family meals to large- scale entertaining with friends, which is only further enhanced by the seamless flow to the alfresco area.
Thoughtfully designed for effortless year-round gatherings, the undercover alfresco is complete with a built-in outdoor kitchen featuring cabinetry, bench space, integrated fridge and built-in barbecue.
A separate, carpeted theatre or rumpus room, dedicated home office with custom joinery and an integrated study nook off the kitchen ensure the home adapts beautifully to modern family life, whether entertaining guests, working remotely or accommodating busy school schedules.
The master retreat has been thoughtfully designed as a luxurious parents' sanctuary, featuring dual walk-in robes and a stunning floor-to-ceiling tiled ensuite appointed with brushed nickel tapware, an oversized frameless glass shower with both rain and detachable shower heads, recessed storage niche and a sophisticated double timber vanity with above-bench basins and face-level storage.
Clever inclusions elevate the experience further, including a concealed laundry hamper integrated into the custom shelving, connecting directly through to the laundry.
Privately positioned within their own dedicated wing of the home, the additional bedrooms have been thoughtfully designed to create a peaceful retreat.
Generously proportioned and beautifully appointed, they feature plush carpeting, custom storage solutions, walk-in or built-in robes, two with built-in desks, large picture windows and calming garden outlooks.
Meanwhile, the nearby family bathroom continues the home's luxurious feel with floor-to-ceiling tiles, brushed nickel tapware, a freestanding bath, oversized shower and elegant timber vanity.
Premium infrastructure throughout the property reflects the home's exceptional attention to detail and commitment to long-term comfort, efficiency and functionality.
The residence is serviced by three-phase power to both the house and expansive five- bay shed, while upgraded R5.0 ceiling insulation, Mitsubishi WiFi ducted heating and cooling and a heat pump hot water system ensure year-round energy-efficient living.
Sustainability has also been carefully considered, with 13kW solar panels paired with a 10kW three-phase inverter, two 22,500L rainwater tanks, a 74m deep bore and smart irrigation to the front yard supporting the beautifully maintained grounds.
Further enhancing practicality, the property also features an aerobic septic system and attic ladder access in the attached double garage, which also has built-in storage for school bags, coats and shoes.
Set behind attractive post-and-rail fencing with a long driveway providing excellent vehicle access and parking, the property effortlessly combines high-end family living with the space, infrastructure and lifestyle benefits of an exceptional semi-rural holding.
A home of uncompromising quality and extraordinary family appeal, this is luxury lifestyle living at its finest.
