Visually striking and affectionately known as the ‘White Box’, this standout luxury property is an engaging study of slick, contemporary design.

20 minutes from the Adelaide CBD in the hills region of Heathfield – the 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 2-garage home rests on a generous and peaceful 2.6-hectare block of manicured gardens, mature trees and tranquil bushland.

Designed by Roger Wood, of Wood Marsh Architects, the home claimed a 2018 South Australia Institute of Architects award for best ‘new home’.

The home itself is defined by a curved concrete exterior that makes an immediate impression against the softness of the surrounding environment.

Interiors are bold, unique, warm – an impressive use of mixed mediums and finishes grafted to luxe elements such as home theatre, wine cellar and two large wood-burning fireplaces.

The kitchen offers a smorgasbord of international names, including a French-made Lacanche hand-forged stove, Italian arabescato marble benchtops and Miele appliances.

The master bedroom holds an expansive walk-in wardrobe with tinted, curved mirror feature wall complete with a mosaic-tiled ensuite bathroom with travertine flooring.

All bathrooms have underfloor heating, so too the kitchen, living, dining, powder room, laundry and hallway with ducted reverse cycle AC and security system inclusive of perimeter alarm and CCTV.

And then there are the grounds – a pool that overlooks the landscape and which comes with a separate pool house boasting its own bathroom, change room and storage; a full-size tennis court with basketball ring, further entertainment pavilion, organic produce garden and orchard featuring quinces, pistachio, apples, pears, peaches, pomegranates as well as a chicken coop, fenced dam and more.

The property is listed with Grant Giordano of Sotheby’s Realty 0475770035 with a guide of $4.5 million.
