This iconic and landmark property will just take your breath away from the moment you enter. Perched in an elevated position with sensational northerly views along the coast it was originally designed by well known Adelaide architect John Maitland in 1987. He was re engaged in 2000 when the current owners purchased the property to extend and transform it into what you see today. It offers a unique lifestyle with its 3 levels of living spaces, plus 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an intimate home theatre room. There are 5 separate outdoor decks and living areas all with their own unique vista.

Other features of the home include a Bose outdoor speaker system, an entry intercom system linked to all 3 levels, sound proofed home theatre, exterior built in barbecue unit, copious under house storage and a large wine cellar. There is a computerised house smart water treatment system for both the house and garden and a reverse osmosis filter system. The 5 rainwater tanks hold approximately 5000 litres.

The residence is situated on 1368sq metres of land and offers a unique and captivating botanic garden setting complete with a petanque/bocce space in amongst the trees. The design of the low water use Mediterranean inspired garden embraces the natural surroundings and follows the natural contour of the land with terraced paths leading down to a natural watercourse. There are several garden rooms all with a different focus. There is a pond & waterfall and dry river bed all fed from stormwater collected from the house. There are a number of secluded seating areas, offering complete privacy and tranquillity from the world at large. In one corner is a separate potager or kitchen garden with fruit trees and four raised beds for vegetables and herbs. For nature lovers, this part of the property will leave you totally enthralled.
