A country escape that serves to recalibrate the soul, this architecturally stunning home stands proud on 120 acres of Fleurieu hillside.
Life looks different at 133 Parri Wilta Road, Ashbourne. With expansive views over the region’s rolling vistas, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home invites you to stop and breathe.
Native flora and fauna balance the inspired use of timber, iron and steel throughout the home, while north-facing floor-to-ceiling windows in the raked-ceiling living zone invite the lush surrounds in. This blend of elements gives the property its distinctive modern Australiana aesthetic – a style sense rooted in timelessness. Functionality is at the forefront, while contemporary accents prominent in this cosy atrium are softened by a combustion fireplace, acoustic ceilings and a stone-topped, open-plan kitchen (fit with Miele appliances) that invites connection.
Honouring privacy, the accommodation quarters are split into two wings – perfect for those with frequent visitors or growing children. The ‘guest wing’, complete with three bedrooms that overlook the property’s ancient gums, is self-contained with its own studio-style living area, kitchenette and bathroom.
The master wing is your escape from the world. Here, the home floats at its highest point above the Fleurieu land, with a gorgeous floor-to-ceiling corner window gifting views that stretch over the property’s dam and rolling hillside as far as Finniss River. Complete with its own home study, walk-in robe and private ensuite (fit with underfloor heating), seclusion has never looked more luxurious.
What’s more, this home has kept its impact on the earth to a minimum. Considered elements include double glazing throughout, solar-power, and extensive rainwater storage (totalling 2000 kiloliters) used in bore and automated watering systems.
State-of-the-art architecture aside, what really sets the home apart is the lifestyle it invites. The sprawling acreage is tucked away from the road with no neighbours in sight; the expanse of land is yours to explore and make your own, with a wetland attracting ducks and frogs, plus farming amenities (think electric-fenced paddocks, cattle pens and loading ramps). Welcome the morning with cups of coffee on your private deck overlookng the land before rambling to Finniss River for a picnic on its edge.
And while these 120 acres morph into your own private bubble, you’re not completely shut off from the world at 133 Parri Wilta Road, Ashbourne. You’re still only half an hour from iconic destinations in the region, such as McLaren Vale, and 55 minutes from Adelaide’s CBD.
