Perimoor is the perfect balance of traditional Australian design with a contemporary edge spread over two levels. Set on a picturesque 8.3 acres, it encapsulates everything that is beautiful about the Adelaide Hills with the convenience of the CBD only 25 minutes away.
The property features a roof top terrace, JAG HIA 2010 Kitchen of the year, formal dining room, 6,500 book library with handmade parquetry floors, established B&B, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two ensuites, ample room for horses and a long list of other features.
This property is perfect for the entertainers, big family or for someone looking to run a part time business from home. It lends itself to a large number of opportunities.
Perimoor has been designed in true Georgian proportions, keeping with the Golden Mean. Designed by the current owners and built by a boutique Adelaide Hills builder, Roland Linke, the detail that has gone into this property is unequivocal. Reilly Stone Masons from Millicent were engaged to complete the task of bringing Perimoor to life.
Constructed from Mount Gambier Stone and laid in a double leaf method, Perimoor has a two tone, stone feature. The double leaf method of laying stone has better thermal and acoustic qualities then a double brick property. The Mount Gambier Stone brings a different character, texture and feel to the property.
One of the spectacles of Perimoor is the 6,500 book library located on the southern side of the house. Featuring all handmade parquetry floors, Western Red Cedar adjustable shelving, accompanied by a classic crown moulding around the top perimeter of the ceiling with a lighting scheme that illuminates the library cornices. The champion of the room is a hand blown Murano Glass Chandelier, only one of two in Australia, which when lit appears as a beautiful dark ruby red colour, with room for a Grand Piano, it evokes feelings of art, music and literature that ties the purpose of this room together perfectly. The library is wonderfully heated by a Jetmaster fire place and has four window seats which look out over the hills and onto the Mount Barker Summit.
The kitchen is larger than life! Facing west it is the perfect place to cook dinner and watch a new sunset every day, while overlooking the beautiful hills and manicured lawns! 54 square meters of opulence and function.
