Soak up sweet seclusion and sweeping views over McLaren Vale to the Willunga Hills and ocean to the Starfish Windmill Farm near Cape Jervis in this one-of-a-kind property. This bespoke 'Bennett Design' residence, custom built-in 2014 by the current owners, pairs stylish modern architecture with productive vines and just over two acres of land to offer the ultimate in wine country living.
Located in sought-after Blewitt Springs, you can enjoy views of SA's most revered Grenache growing countryside just 45-minutes from the city; this is an exceptional lifestyle opportunity.
The masterful use of a low profile roofline and extensive double-glazing enhances the impressive inside-out feel to the living spaces. The home blends beautifully with the landscape at the same time bringing its gorgeous natural surrounds indoors. An eye for detail is evident at every turn, and symbolic touches like the warm marigold accents used externally are a perfect match to the Autumn colours of the Grenache vines on the property.
The versatile floorplan comprises four great size bedrooms and three bathrooms across the main residence and the adjacent studio space. Expansive open living areas fuse with two superb outdoor entertaining areas decked in the same Stringy Bark timber used throughout the home. Caesarstone tops, quality stainless-steel appliances, ample bench and storage space highlight a stylish, modern kitchen that overlooks the indoor and outdoor living spaces; lending itself equally well to entertaining or quiet nights of relaxation.
Lofty ceilings soar overhead measuring 3 metres at the lowest points, enhancing the open and airy feel throughout while 2.7m high double-glazed windows bring the glorious natural surrounds indoors along with abundant natural light.
The luxurious master bedroom suite is an impressive adult retreat; an oversized bedroom featuring a huge walk-in robe and equally sizeable ensuite offering a full-size tub and the same stunning views that the bedroom enjoys. There is no shortage of space for the family either; near double-sized secondary bedrooms feature fabulous built-in robe space along with convenient main bathroom access.
Perfect for the teenage child or the Airbnb guest, the separate studio space enjoys its own bathroom, verandah, built-in robe space and kitchenette. A large double carport services the studio and main residence, while a fantastic secure storage space sits right alongside.
Designed with responsible energy management in mind, the very layout of the home, strategic use of louvred windows to create breezeways, extensive double-glazing and R6 insulation throughout delivers year-round comfort with minimal expense. Nevertheless, the combination of gas and combustion heating along with split reverse cycle air-conditioning is there to lend a helping hand when required.
As with the home, the owners have paid meticulous attention to detail outdoors too. Ensuring that would-be purchasers can take as much or as little part in the wine production of the land as they wish. Substantial rainwater storage has been implemented with a 187,000-litre Aquamate rainwater tank and secondary 23,000-litre tank plus Grundfos electric pump. Some 0.3 acres of Shiraz vines are trellised and drip irrigated, while 0.8 acres of 45yo Grenache vines are dry-grown (more detailed notes on the viticultural aspects of the land are available upon request).
A rare offering that stands at the intersection of contemporary modern living and rustic wine country charm. Call Carly Frost for more information and upgrade your lifestyle today.
