Twenty six or so years ago Mr and Mrs B decided to build a home; no I mean BUILD a home. Much planning, thousands of bricks and a year’s labour later, they had both achieved a quality result; the house they still live in today. It has been a wonderful home for family and friends and they still enjoy the peace and amazing views afforded by their careful siting of the home on almost 2 private acres of land. Its time to move on for them now, its someone else’s turn to experience the stunning location and home that has been the life’s work of this wonderfully skillful and industrious couple.
A very solid and thoughtfully designed place to be, it was and remains all about the views and strength of build. Featuring three (or four) good sized bedrooms, the master with a walk thru robe to the ensuited main bathroom. A large dining/ lounge as well as a second living area adjacent the recently upgraded kitchen occupies the central part of the home. The chef’s domain, the kitchen features a dishwasher and brand new ceramic cooktop, high spec oven, the cupboards sport the latest in mobile shelving and carousels for the pantry. The kitchen benches and splashback are composite granite with slate on the floor, the casual dining table looks out to the views that enthrall you every day as you watch the passing parade of the seasons!
The laundry and Office are both voluminous and each has external access; the former to the rear yard and the latter to the double, linear garage with roller. Adjoining the garage is a second garage UMR which would equate to a triple, configured as a double with enormous workshop.
The home has been built to the highest engineering standards, with an attention to detail that is, sadly, hard to find these days. The rear of the home features an undercover pergola complete with screens beneath which you can entertain or simply sit & marvel at the views that extend from the Bungala Valley out across the entire expanse of Yankalilla Bay and on to Kangaroo Island, it is simply captivating.
Native plantings and the resultant birdlife are all around the manicured house gardens and Lawns; maintained by electronically managed watering for the lawns and timer operated drippers for the garden, they are all taken care of by the Rainwater storage system. Part of the land is kept as an open space, room for a sheep or two and there is excellent space and sun light for veggies and fruit trees.
To top the package off it is powered by the solar array that is back to grid and there is ample rainwater for house and garden with a massive roof area as catchment. (Mains water is connected as well.)
