Unique, custom-built grandeur isn't the only revelation. Follow the wooded dress circle prestige and Basket Range stone for an eye-catching home that could truly be your castle - turret, tennis court, and all.

On an acre akin to a forest floor comes the gables, leadlight and European calibre of a reproduction manor angled for maximum winter sun and garden views, for indoor formality, sumptuous, robed accommodation, and all-weather outdoor dining; the first Adelaide home to install geo-thermic heating efficiency, gaining HIA award-winning acclaim for it.

Yet warmth, light and scale are just a few of the recurring luxuries to this exquisite 1995 David Knights Homes design.

Quality finishes, custom wainscoting, rich Fijian Cedar joinery, and forest-like calm through every Western Red Cedar pane – every turn has a talking point.

From the leadlight foyer and curved timber staircase, formal dinner parties framed by nature, formal living and casual dining areas drawn to big bay windows against the granite-topped gourmet kitchen, or ahead to the billiard room giving the garden all due glazed respect - the alfresco deck next for a glazed canopy best shared beneath a downpour.

Its all-ages sophistication offers storage galore: from the master wing with twin walk-in closets and ensuite, the executive's home office, and the adjoining double garage where an upstairs gym-turn-storeroom towers above the workshop.

Of the three upper bedrooms, two have walk-in closets, the 3rd offers an inbuilt wall drawer system, refusing to encroach on any floor space.

And with tennis matches in full swing, you could umpire from the quiet heights of the teen's plush living retreat or take living out to the grounds…

Float amongst the foliage, take tranquil morning walks to St. Catherine's, book lunch at the Crafers Hotel, but don't overlook a one-of-a-kind lifestyle set in stone.
