233 Sturt Valley Road, Upper Sturt, SA 5156

Imagine, at the end of your day - coming home to place where you can truly hear the quiet, and be out on the deck looking over your property with visiting birdlife, kookaburra's and koalas in the nearby tree canopy. Come and live the lifestyle where you'll feel far from it all, but at the same time ... be so connected! Crafers and Stirling Village are 5-minutes and the Blackwood District is convenient too. 

The home was built by Sarah Homes in 2014 and lives on a superb 2.5-acre setting (10,290sqm). 
From Sturt Valley Road, a long concrete drive wanders down to this family home with great appeal! It's construction style feels very much a part of its environment, and while nestled into its site, at the same time - it takes every advantage of an elevated north facing aspect from the main living areas and fabulous entertaining deck! That warm winter sunshine is always welcome and, in the summertime, evening sunsets through trees is just the tonic.

Land like this is gold! It's a beautiful big residential block where you can simply breathe in your own space, feel removed from neighbours and live in relative peace. The undulating land has been well maintained with much of it being cleared open space - it has its own dam that has never been as low as it is till now - c'mon rain! The kids can run amok, the family hounds will love you for it, it could be the ideal little hobby-farm - think of a self-sustaining property of fruit trees and your very own market-garden, it's where you can love it as it is or garden to your hearts content. 

The home and land almost function off-grid. A concrete rainwater tank provides 120,000 litres of rainwater store - plumbed inside to the home, there is an enviro-cycle, a solar PV system, and the gardens that scope much of he land are fully irrigated!

Beautifully established gardens line the driveway and surround the house, while a terrace of retaining walls frame a large flat lawn area and make it easy to move around the house itself. There is great room for off-street parking and turn-around - and when entertaining, an easy five cars can be accommodated and there is a large garage-work-shed which has the potential to be the ideal set-up for a serious hobby. 

Across the two levels, construction is timber veneer with external James Hardie weatherboard and iron cladding - the bottom level is a concrete slab, there are windows everywhere and 9ft ceilings feature throughout! Inside, this home simply lives well! It is practical, easy to live in and will appeal to growing families and couples too. 

•   It's always preferred to have a formal entry. 
•   Downstairs there are three bedrooms - the children and teenagers will love their space!  One room has built-in storage and all enjoy a window outlook to greenery; they have their        own bathroom and a lounge-TV-retreat is the perfect complement. 
•   Upstairs, the light filled stairwell is also a nice spot to display your art. The main bedroom up here has great built-in robe storage and a large ensuite with a long vanity and a huge        twin walk-in shower. With a view to nothing but the environment, a Sunday morning sleep-in will be an absolute treat!

•   The open plan living area has great dimensions and is extended by a huge entertaining deck. There are windows all around that bring in the outdoors, you can cosy-in around 
    a wood-fired combustion heater where there is plenty of room to lounge, it will easily take a large 8-seat dining table and in the kitchen - you will certainly feel amongst it!
    It's a modern kitchen used by a chef; it has good storage that includes a double pantry and overhead cupboards, bench-space either side of the double-sink and cooking area, an          electric ceramic cooktop & fan-forced oven, a dishwasher, a spot for the microwave and essential coffee machine. The kids can sit at the kitchen with an additional full-length bar 
    that also comes handy when entertaining. 

•   Every day, the outdoor living area will lure you to the great outdoors - the owners love it out here! Most of your land is in front of you, the connection to environment and nature is      always in play and big-sky views are amazing! It is partially under-main-roof with a sealed tiled floor, there is loads of space for the outdoor lounge & dining setting and a favourite       for the owners is 'bubbles-time' around a raised table where you can seat a few stools and fire-up the barbeque. Imagine weekends at home and when it comes time to share your         environment with family and friends - they'll find it hard to leave. 
•   The sealed balcony also provides for a second paved outdoor living space underneath - as an independent area, it is a great compliment to the downstairs bedrooms. In addition to      the combustion heater, there are two split-system air-conditioning systems for complete comfort - one on each level, and hot water is instant gas. 

If you are after that hills-country feeling and city convenience, what a Lifestyle this is. MAKE IT YOURS!
