4.01HA (approx 10 acres) perched just below the ridge of the Willunga Hills escarpment is a property which is totally different, one of a kind and is sure to impress those of us who enjoy living in a home that has minimal impact on the environment.
The home was originally built in 1985 by a visionary who wanted a home that respected the principles of the Hills Face Zone by unobtrusively blending into the landscape, being environmentally responsible by harvesting the earths’ natural energies, a totally safe haven if ever the event of a fire, whilst enjoying open plan living and taking advantage of the most glorious rural and coastal views you could ever ask for.
The well engineered home of reinforced vibrated concrete is set into the hill side and then back filled with earth, described as an earth covered or underground house. The home comprises of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, central open plan living area incorporating an attractive kitchen/meals area. Features include large north/west facing windows along the entire frontage of the home taking advantage of the glorious views and the warming winter sun. Two light wells allow natural light into the home and provide a perfect atrium of light where indoor plants excel. Neutral tones, slate and tiled floors provide a warm earthy atmosphere which I am sure you will enjoy.
Other improvements include 9m x 6m colour bond shed with concrete floor, power & lighting. Rustic outdoor and free standing pergola area, brick paved and provides a great spot for entertaining. 4.5kw 27 panel solar system and approx 50,000 ltrs of rainwater storage. A catchment dam which is equipped with a petrol driven pump, pumps water to a further 22,000ltr concrete tank located above the improvements supplying excellent water for the vegie patch.
The land is an attractive balance of natural bushland and grazing country giving the opportunity to have a few sheep or a horse or two. This beautiful property is at one with nature provided you are prepared to share it with the local wildlife.
