An architecturally designed executive modern mansion in a resort setting with floodlit supergrass tennis court, productive vineyard and infinity pool spectacularly poised overlooking a secluded valley on 20 acres of Adelaide Hills' tranquility.
Just 20 minutes' easy Freeway drive from Adelaide's CBD, feel the tensions of urban life fade as you turn into the sweeping driveway of Birchwood. Take a deep breath as you capture the magnitude of this stunning home and its' privileged position, befitting a movie set.
The Williams Burton designed masterpiece is spectacular from every aspect, and has been designed to capture northern winter sun into virtually every room. The stimulating ambience is a crafted blend of natural timbers, soaring picture windows, floating glass balustrades, polished terrazzo flooring and hewn stone, all enhanced by abundant built-in cabinetry and soft furnishings, all of the highest quality.
The central dining area with adjoining gourmet kitchen and family room is the heart of the home. A focal point is the tranquil infinity edged pool which draws and reflects the natural tree studded setting into the home.
Equipped with Miele appliances and quality cabinets topped with marble and stainless benchtops, the state of the art kitchen is a master chef's dream come true. Feature glass splashback windows provide views of soothing terraced gardens from both the kitchen and adjoining luxury laundry.
Up to five separate living areas provide multiple options for parents, children and guests to have space to celebrate together, to entertain, to study or simply relax in peace.
The romantic upstairs master suite with views over the valley is a true parents' retreat with its' own lounge/ reading room and stunning ensuite plus a clever walk-around robe/ dressing room.
The grand study with picture windows to its' own balcony holds price of place on the second level. Run your successful business with pride from this amazing space, providing you can overcome the attraction of the house, pool, court and vineyards beckoning you with their ever-changing mood.
Flexible sleeping accommodation is provided by a further five double bedrooms in the children's wing and includes a full guest suite with walk-in robe and ensuite, suitable for an elderly family member or lodger.
The stunning grounds provide the backdrop for all kinds of family activity, adventure and relaxation. A championship floodlit tennis court with hit-up wall can be observed from the terraces, and accessed by a spectacular wide staircase. Imagine evening tennis with the family under lights at your doorstep. A spring fed creek flows through the valley which is flanked by 10 acres of natural bushland and 4 acres of vines. A further 6 acres (approx.) cradles the home with open space and terraced gardens with beds of lavender and a myriad of exotic and native trees and plants.
Two large dams and a sweet water bore provide water security for the gardens and vineyard. Connecting with the rural past of this property, a quaint dairy shed provides shelter for happy chickens and ample storage for garden implements and supplies.
