This is where peace, considered architecture and Mount Lofty's peak combine. And while its tranquillity astounds, this unique, eco-conscious home claims a sweeping Piccadilly Valley stage to watch it unfold.
Privately set within a quiet locals-only enclave, the reveal is as much about the 2010-built reverse brick-veneer and Colorbond silhouette as it is about Adelaide's highest mountain that soars above it.
Yet the ever-changing vistas are the true star.
Inside, sweeping views are paired with refurbished interiors, a warm Scandinavian feel, durable Marmoleum flooring, floods of natural light and a flexible three-bedroom footprint supported by two solar systems, steering its country lifestyle toward off-grid living.
It's not a farmhouse - yet enveloping paddocks give you that free-range feeling. It's not a cottage – but the exposed internal stonework reinforces a robust country charm.
The home's open plan living zone sets aside an equally versatile second living zone - ideal as a double-study, guest suite, or wellness studio – beside the sunny dining area and modern timber kitchen for Mount Lofty-facing views.
Edging this 1964sqm parcel, orchards and rolling vineyards have their own way of speaking out – and their seasonal sideshow is dramatic. From green to ombré, the hues shift through summer and autumn before winter blankets heavy mists and rolling fog over the vines. No day is ever the same, the mornings are magical, and you'll never put the camera down.
Winter bulbs, citrus trees, spring blossoms, and hand-laid Carey Gully stone retaining walls bring colour and definition to the cascading landscape, while the vines that frame the western verandah create a cooling summer curtain across the gloriously scenery.
And the adjoining jacuzzi room is primed for year-round use - a private and protected plunge zone that also gives you a front-row seat over the valley.
Creature comforts throughout include three-phase power, ceiling fans, split system air conditioning, underfloor heating to the main bathroom and ensuite, and external roller shutters that deliver security, light and temperature control right across the home.
The high-set carport easily parks four cars; a detached iron garage creates a separate workshop space, and the all-weather alfresco provides a perfect entertaining space.
Even the radius is spectacular. With historic Uraidla within minutes, Ashton Hills, Tappanappa and Greenhill Wineries on standby, and a short stroll down the lane, you'll find the cellar door of Hills Collide.
Using diverse materials in its distinctive design, Drivers Road provides the most stunning Mount Lofty perspective.
