Piercing. Uninterrupted. Encapsulating. This bespoke residence was designed and built in the late 1990s by one of SA's most renowned architects. Perfectly positioned on approximately 22 acres of scenic land, it boasts some of the best uninterrupted coastal views that the Fleurieu has to offer. A modernist pioneer, the architect created an oasis of calm a home expansive enough for memorable gatherings, yet intimate enough for a couple's retreat.
The residence is located just outside the popular tourist town of Port Elliot and only 80 km south of Adelaide. This stunning, environmentally friendly stone home oozes quality and takes in breathtaking sea views from Port Elliot to Hindmarsh Island, the Murray Mouth and the wild expanse of the Coorong.
Upon entering the home, you will be captivated by the sea and country views, seen through the double glazed floor to ceiling windows. The high quality 2 pack kitchen will make cooking a breeze, with stainless steel appliances and a walk in pantry. The kitchen overlooks the open plan dining room and extensive family room with solid jarrah floating floor, built in bookshelves, freestanding open fireplace and massive stone walls built of Monarto limestone, which is featured throughout the home.
The main building comprises two bedrooms and luxurious bathroom that literally pulls the views inside. Purpose-built viewing decks capturing coastal panoramas as far as the eye can see. Adding architectural drama, the undercover columned breezeway acts as a promenade to a private guest wing: a one bedroom, one bathroom studio with its own breathtaking sweep of sea and rural vistas.
Down on the flat and among the trees predating the main house, lies a 2nd dwelling, the original farmhouse, hosting four bedrooms, kitchen, lounge room, plus separate shedding.
