10 scenic minutes from the cobalt coast and a hop-skip to Yankalilla's small-town heart is a bridge over the Bungala River - your bridge - to some 8.1 acres of idyllic seclusion and a custom-built lifestyle playground...
Welcome to "Meldon".
Stone, concrete, rich timbers and striking design mingle with nature in jaw-dropping form; a form endorsed by 3-phase power, 4.7kW of solar, 2 spring-fed dams, a water well and an established orchard.
But there's more.
Tempt the kids with a 12m x 12m basketball court and the crowds with a pizza oven under a sky-piercing patio; its immensity framing gum tree silhouettes as the coals glow.
Inside, 3mtr ceilings hover above Jarrah and Kauri floors, skirtings and arches, Western Red Cedar panes, French doors and handmade solid Redgum interior doors, punctuating a 4-bedroom + office home secured by CCTV surveillance. Leaving parties to ignite in the structural ply kitchen swathed in concrete and stainless benchtops with an in-built "Smeg" coffee machine. The cherry on top - an obsessively arranged butler's pantry presenting its contents in pigeonholed order. The same order applied to its permaculture zoned gardens - lawn, stone walls, fishpond, even a chook pen, join pickings from more than 100 edible plants in sequential, galvanised planter box contrast; beyond, a backdrop of nativity typifies rural Yankalilla - your bigger backyard.
Living zones at each end of the home draw their own merits; one for its rustic stone wall and crowd-pulling "Regency" combustion fire, the other, its slumber serenity. Where you'll flip the Do Not Disturb sign on a master given garden views, couple-sized walk-in robes and a fully tiled ensuite; yet no pane is denied an eyeful of these outdoors.
As for the vehicles, barn-style doors open to 100sqm of parking and workshop capacity before escorting you undercover from car to mudroom - a divine design with all the smarts.
A magnificent secret worth sharing minutes to the south's most majestic coastline.
