A simply stunning landmark property offering outstanding accommodation and entertaining space across some 10 generously proportioned main rooms of architectural significance. Occupying near 2/3 acre of immaculate grounds, with sensational views over The Bluff at Encounter Bay, Wright and Granite Islands and beyond to the coastline of Goolwa and The Coorong, the property’s exclusive location on this enviable coastal site defines its own unique and intimate connection with this famous seaside ambience and State Park.
The home’s luxury, privacy and tranquillity make it a stylish get away or permanent home, with sympathetic designer extensions and timeless renovations preserving its original character within a contemporary environment.
The residence has a classic facade of over 27 metres finished in white rendered bluestone with soaring gables and tall windows. Its elevated, north facing aspect ensures brilliant natural light by day and vistas of a twinkling lightshow by night. Luxury appointments abound. Features include triple zoned and ducted heating and cooling, security system, solar power, extra high ceilings with elaborate cornicing and ceiling roses.
The Great Room – of some 12 metres in length with its beautiful sash windows capturing elevated vistas of the sets of waves rolling in between Wright Island and The Bluff. The stunning bespoke kitchen is a gourmet’s delight, large enough for serious catering, featuring Italian appliances, stone benchtops and soft close drawers, black butt timber floor and highlight pressed metal walls.
The cosy library captures the northern sunlight through French doors and leadlight windows as well as the ambience of an elegant fireplace mantel and built in book cases. Four spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms, including
a new ensuite with custom marble vanity, make up the bedroom wing ( which also has its own sitting room). A guest suite, which has its own bathroom adjacent, occupies the southern wing from where there are sweeping views of the
conservation park, while a home office could be a fifth bedroom if required. A light filled breezeway connects the southern wing to the Great Room via another sitting room/studio. Tucked away is the convenient separate wine cellar.
This landmark home immaculately presented and a credit to the current owners, sits within an inspiring garden setting, providing a sense of calm. This prestigious elevated 2522m2 corner allotment has a large lock up garage with room for a boat and several cars! The rear lawn and beautiful pond in the French-inspired ‘Tapis Vert’ styled garden, is a place to relax and enjoy or you can dine alfresco on the slate paved covered patio. The property is bounded on two sides by a State Park bordering “The Bluff” conservation reserve and adjacent to the entrance to the iconic landmark Rosetta Head. Turn right and a five minute walk will take you to spectacular Petrel Cove, overlooking the booming ocean and the world class panoramic coastline. Turn left and a two minute walk will see you at one of the region’s best restaurants “Eat at Whalers” in the tranquil lee of The Bluff overlooking the boat ramp.
Simply beautiful – an elegant historical home set in remarkable and very private landscaped grounds in the box seat of the Fleurieu.
