Beyond ornate electric gates, the botanical ¾ acre estate heralds unheard of coastal vistas from a secluded Crafers pocket, with easy walking distance to Stirling, St. Catherine's School and the iconic Crafers Hotel.
Yet there's so much more to this peaceful, multi-generational grandeur than the statuesque Federation-style home implies.
Behind the main house, a cottage provides the ultimate flexibility. Well past its days of donkeys and orchards, the original cottage reserves its renovated footings as a sweet 2-bedroom Airbnb, permanent rental or bonus live-in family comfort.
Piece every lifestyle element together – the sweeping terraces, all-weather inbuilt BBQ kitchen, wood fire pizza oven, firepit, wellness room, vegie gardens, chook run, plus a garden rotunda for quiet contemplation - and you've got an incredible legacy for the ages.
The circular bitumen driveway is a hills blessing, towering shade is a summer virtue, and the discreet side gate keeps cottage access discreet.
As for the stone-clad manor, it maintains a chic modern aesthetic with lofty ceilings, leadlight, limestone floor tiles, up to three living areas, and lush garden vistas from every sun-bathed and exiting set of French doors, upstairs and down.
From the formal lounge room upon entry, family bathroom, laundry, and up to three versatile bedrooms (one with ensuite), the entire ground level savours an indoor, outdoor ambience; upstairs surveys sunlit open plan living, dining, and the shaker-style kitchen across polished strides of blue gum timber floors; the terrace, bathed in sea views, leaves little doubt - you're witnessing a rare and remarkable hills-to-horizon backdrop.
And the Spencer Gulf sunsets are next level.
You'll host from a stainless 5-burner gas stove, Bosch dishwasher, auto-lit pantry, and island servery swathed in quality Caesarstone; you'll retire to a master suite led by a floating central dressing station, built-in robes, and a sparkling underfloor-heated ensuite through double glazed doors.
Overall, the substantial 2-storey residence brings the utmost flex for any family offering a tranquil treetop study, optional media room and sumptuous guest spaces.
Imagine - a quiet hills enclave with epic water views, potential cottage income, a stroll to the Crafers Hotel, and barely 10 minutes to the Tollgate… it's hard to fathom, it's even harder to leave.
