151 River Road, Hahndorf, SA 5245

Perched where the land folds gently beneath it, this custom-built home feels purpose-built to honour its outlook - 25 acres and beyond of quiet beauty, caught and curated at every conceivable opportunity, like brushstrokes on canvas.

Custom built at the crest of its plot, this solar-driven home breaks away to wings, bringing everyone together where those views flood through the multiple, large, timber-framed windows.

Drawing its inspiration from the character homes of a bygone era, this stone-laden beauty combines natural materials and earthy tones with a series of recent updates. None more impressive than the open-plan kitchen.

Featuring Sierra Leone stone benchtops, oversized freestanding oven/gas cooktop, striking timber cabinetry, walk-in pantry and an expansive breakfast bar, the kitchen is a glorious middle ground between two generous living zones.

At one end; a lounge room that loves to curl up by the fire. At the other; a family room with French doors to front and back. Those views always in tow.

Following an 'L' shaped design, the home wraps those wings around an open aired courtyard of sorts - ready for long winter nights by a fire pit.

A study adds another layer of flexibility. The kids will claim one wing. You will retreat to the other; where the ensuited main bedroom looks out to the pool.

And what a pool it is. Large, surrounded by stone paving, placed beside a vine-covered arbor. Like something straight out of a Tuscan resort. Relishing views over the Adelaide Hills to the Mount Lofty Summit, the property has rolling paddocks and your very own large dam which supports a rich variety of wildlife.

A mere five minutes from the historic village of Hahndorf and its beloved bakeries, pubs and providores, you're also just moments from cellar doors and cool-climate wineries in every direction. And when the city calls, the freeway is always close at hand, making Adelaide's CBD feel surprisingly within reach for a property that feels worlds away.
