Crafers West has its attractions all year round. There's bushwalking and mountain biking in nearby Belair National Park, and you're never far from a trendy pub. But perhaps it's greatest draw, besides proximity to the city, is the beauty of the landscape itself. Let's face it: it's not often you get to live in a 70-year-old pine forest...let alone cocooned in no-through seclusion and the bold shapes of this architectural gem, designed by Ron Selth & Associates.

The 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is set on an almost self-sustaining 1515sqm of hillside, with access via a level driveway. Landing under the double carport, your blueprint for family life unfolds stylishly and playfully over three levels, thanks to a new internal staircase linking the lower level with the recently expanded family room on Level 2. Floor-skimming windows, forest views, LPG gas fire, surround sound - you could hunker down for winter here and never move!

Meanwhile, let the kids roam free in the freshly-carpeted downstairs retreat, next to the office that will soon be yours and the main entertaining deck sprawled across the forest floor. (A rope swing, cubby and the trampoline you're soon to buy, will keep them amused for hours!)

Up on the top deck, it's business as usual with a warming harvest of winter sun, the kookaburras lined up on the rail and a small covered section, just in case. When weather-confidence strikes, café doors provide ebb and flow between deck and voided dining room - in winter, warmed to toasty perfection by a slow combustion stove that also heats the upper level.

Discover more of those fireside charms in the formal lounge - a space that feels almost alpine with its clever angles and curtain glass. And, when bedtime beckons, rise up the spiral staircase to your freshly painted sleep zone, set high among the treetops where the koala kips too.

Clear, starry skies promise yet another beautiful day. What will it be? A hike through the National Park, coffee at the Organic Café, a quick fashion fix at Burnside Village... back in a jiffy! Until suddenly, that tree-change seems the most natural thing in the world to do!
