Suns End! A two-storey rammed earth-constructed residence with gulf views nestled amongst some 29 acres of private sanctuary. Lovingly nurtured back to woodland glory with epic replanting over two decades, this is the quintessential Hills retreat. High levels of self-sufficiency, privacy and room for relaxation and recreation both indoors and out offer myriad opportunities for a lifestyle centred on family, nature and adventures of your own making, just 35 minutes from Adelaide. The property rolls down to the west from Mawson Road, with gullies, woodland vistas, dams, mature pine forest and vehicle tracks creating a wonderland for hiking, biking, camping and watching the abundant population of native birds and animals (yellow-tailed black cockatoos, koalas and kangaroos are all resident). At the end of a long, bitumen driveway sits a beautifully built rammed earth residence capturing views through the hills over the lights of Modbury to the gulf and Yorke Peninsula. The expansive level block provides ample parking (including a large carport), turnaround and room for boats and caravans, and the veggie garden, chook run and lawned play areas. The home is served by an off-grid solar PV and battery storage system and large rainwater holding, providing great self-sufficiency and security. Built circa 2000, the impressive, solidly constructed two-storey home offers great family living with the warmth of its rammed-earth walls and double-glazed windows. This sustainable construction provides superior thermal mass, temperature and noise control, low maintenance, and the rich colour and texture of the compacted earth links the building with the natural surroundings. Freshly painted throughout, the five bedrooms have brand new carpet and give great flexibility for additional living space, home office, storage or media room. The open plan living, kitchen and meals area has terrific garden and landscape views with new Blackbutt timber laminate flooring throughout. Double-glazed glass doors open to the front verandah (fitted with sunblinds) and lawn, making the perfect space to sit and unwind at the end of the day. The kitchen has a breakfast bar, gas range, 1.5 bowl sink and generous walk-in pantry. The thoughtful combination of split a/c, cosy slow combustion heater and huge, modern ceiling fan ensure year-round comfort with the added benefit of the solid walls. There's room to sprawl in this family hub, with the bonus of built-in display cupboards and bookshelves. Also on the ground floor are the family bathroom (claw-foot bath, separate shower stall) with underfloor heating, separate w/c with bidet and vanity, hallway storage cupboards, entry foyer, large laundry with outdoor access and three bedrooms: one king, one queen, one double, as well as a study/fourth bedroom. Upstairs makes for the perfect parent retreat with master bedroom with two dormer windows giving long views and a second living area with a dormer window and a w/c. As well as the large carport, the property has a three-bay shed with a concrete floor and workshop. This is on a levelled area across a gully from the house and has access from the top of the driveway at Mawson Road. Included in the sale are a number of resident sheep and a herd of 6 local alpacas that range the woodlands across the three adjoining properties, helping to manage the under-storey. Fenced areas provide secure enclosures for lambs or wildlife sanctuary. For mountain biking enthusiasts, Fox Creek Mountain Bike Park is only minutes away; and for the wine lover, Anderson Hill and Pike & Joyce are almost neighbours. A short distance to Lenswood Primary school and a convenient 45-minute commute to Adelaide CBD.
