An original home. A view that's anything but.
Etched into the raw beauty of its elevated Basket Range plot is a home so deeply rooted in its 1970s origins that looking at it is just as intriguing as looking out its expansive windows and across the sweeping valley beyond.
Rather than curated paddocks, you'll have claim to some 20 acres of rugged land; a long-held property that's all about shutting the world out. Not a single neighbour in plain sight.
What you will see is a five-bedroom, dual-level home with a rumpus/retreat on its lower floor and bevy of living zones above, each with their own unique take on the world outside.
And there's no better vantage point than the expansive sunken lounge framed in windows that rise from the floor and end where soaring timber-beamed cathedral ceilings begin. A space that flies like an eagle over the valley.
Step up to parquetry floors and follow your instincts to the ensuited main bedroom or a free-flowing living zone that feeds the original kitchen and implores you to take dinner to the terrace balcony.
A brick partition separates the lounge from the dining zone, adds texture and earthy hues to the equation, and carves out cosy fireplaces on both sides.
The solid timber kitchen - featuring loads of storage and a dishwasher- epitomises the enduring, hand-built quality of this solar subsidised home that will embrace a cosmetic reboot with open arms.
Just a 15-minute drive to the suburban conveniences of Magill, what feels like a world away, is far from it - and even closer to cellar doors/wineries and the historic Scenic Hotel.
It's time to see it person.
