We can’t all win awards, but, for the right price, you could call home a place that’s won a bunch of them.
Harris South Coast’s Mark Forde is selling 1-3 Needlebush Drive, Chiton – a stunning critically acclaimed home that could be yours.
Assuming you’ve got the cash to meet the $1.95m to $2.1m asking price, that is.
But rest assured, Mr Forde says the home is worth every cent.
“People can’t believe how beautiful and how incredible the quality, so the values definitely there, it’s just a matter of finding the right buyer.
“It is totally unique. Most of the other homes around are residential homes on 700sqm blocks, whereas this is on a 1445sqm corner allotment with a landscaped block next to it so it’s private and it feels as though you’re not part of the housing estate – it’s spectacular.
“It’s amazing – that whole Beyond estate was the brainchild of Steve Wright and it’s won a bunch of environmental awards when in was done.
“This is his house and it’s been done to the highest standard and using the best design techniques available at the time to achieve the ultimate environmental outcome.”
A luxurious four-bedroom home has won several accolades for its stunning design and commitment to sustainable living.
The luxe four-bedroom home was recognised in the prestigious Housing Industry Awards in 2009, winning the Greensmart Energy Efficient Housing and Sustainable Housing categories.
Its Japanese-inspired kitchen, with four ovens, a butler’s pantry and a stunning handpainted glass splashback, won the SA Kitchen of the Year Award in 2018.
The native gardens have also won multiple awards for their environmentally-friendly design and were named Best Residential Garden in 2011.
“Steve’s daughter is one of Adelaide’s foremost landscape architects, and she designed that second title and the garden in there, and that’s won awards too,” he said.
“When you pack all of that in it’s worth every cent.”
Built to the highest ecological standards, the home features rammed earth walls and polished exposed aggregate floors for optimal thermal mass throughout.
The master bedroom has a huge dressing room and ensuite. Along with two other bedrooms, it has direct access to a paved courtyard.
The living and dining rooms boast garden views, while a home office, or fourth bedroom, has custom shelving and cabinetry.
There is a 2.8kW solar panel system and tanks to store 18,000L of rainwater, which is plumbed throughout the home.
“It would be great for retirees, those looking to rent it out and live in it down the track or those who share the same eco ideals – it ticks a lot of boxes,” Mr Forde says.
Expressions of interest on the property close Wednesday, October 23 at noon.
