Rainbows and rolling hills, sunsets over the Nepenthe vineyards, stars exploding in the night sky... yes, there's something quite magical about this quiet, end-of-cul-de-sac setting and the home that's been put here to capture it all.
Part of the highly-prized Taramore Estate and cradled in grounds at their peak of perfection, this two-storey, bay-window beauty by Ian Wood Homes has been generously upsized for an even more comfortable fit. Those extra square metres are a game-changer, particularly in the double garage, master ensuite and the open-plan family spaces, where the addition of a conservatory-style bay delivers 180-degree garden views, exquisite washes of natural light and a luxury of space that is a real crowd-pleaser.
Separate formal lounge and dining rooms, plus a well-placed study that would allow you to work from home, add extra flexibility to a floor plan that puts family first with three double bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the upper level. Head up the handsome Meranti staircase, (a perfect match to the joinery throughout the home), to unwind in the spacious living area here - a sun-blessed winter retreat with access to the balcony and a sublime eyeful of countryside rolling towards Balhannah.
With a spa ensuite made for two, a walk-in wardrobe with a place for everything and the opportunity to slumber in nothing more than a moonlight veil, (because no-one can see in), here is romance on an epic scale. You'll be tempted to linger but trading the sensory pleasures of the master bedroom for the great outdoors is a call you'll gladly make.
Beyond the Blackwood kitchen and the wide sweep of glass that frames those botanic greens, and views of Mt Barker summit, keep wandering. Past pristine lawns and heirloom roses, past the veggie patch and fruit trees, past giant drifts of hebe and the Zen garden - a future site for a pool or half court perhaps. After a hard day at work, come out here to relax and drink in the magic of a place that the rare red-tailed black cockatoo still calls home.
Great neighbours and a street party every year; expect a thriving community in its own right. Vineyards, shops and restaurants are on your doorstep. Historic townships entice with artisan craft and food cultures. Commutable hills living, 35 minutes to the CBD; enjoy the journey, live the dream!
