Hayborough – Chiton Rocks
Designed by Sydney Architect Michael Harris of Celsius Architects and built by Master Builder Des Edwards Circa 2009, this beautifully designed three bedroom family home caters perfectly for those seeking relaxed living by the sea, against a rural backdrop of rolling hills and nearby wetlands.
The home is built over three levels (the middle first floor is at street level), with downstairs living on the ground floor incorporating open plan guest accommodation with kitchenette, bathroom and laundry. A beautiful Tasmanian Oak staircase links the floors, taking you to the first floor where you find two lovely light filled bedrooms and the main bathroom, before alighting to the second floor living space – all open plan incorporating the kitchen/dining/living room with wonderful views in every direction – Hindmarsh Valley to the north and views of the waves breaking onto the rocky headland at Knights Beach to the south.
An inspirational design element is the whale watching loft – designed to catch the morning sun, relax with a cuppa, your favourite book and a great vantage point to view the ocean with telescope in hand!!
North facing on three levels with compact footprint allowing the winter sun to penetrate deep into the house warming it quickly in winter. The footprint also allows for great cross ventilation through summer, with the basement masonry acting as a thermal mass, giving passive warmth in winter and cooling in summer.
The home has a high level of insulation and comes with a fabulous gas heater (sets the mood) and split unit reverse cycle air-conditioning, both found in the upstairs living space.
Uniquely situated within minutes of Chiton Rocks Surf Lifesaving Club and easy access to great cycle and walking paths to Port Elliot, Goolwa, Victor Harbor, the new regional swimming pool centre and to nearby wetlands.
This 21st Century dwelling offers beauty within and throughout with its 360 degree vistas of rolling hills, wetlands and glimpses of the ocean.
A quite beautiful home in every respect, expertly designed and built and wonderfully finished with quality appointments – this is definitely a home for all occasions, be it as a full time coastal residence or magnificent holiday escape – the choice is yours!
