Open the Door: To a Mediterranean Dream with Unforgettable Views

***Available to view by registration *** House Location - https://maps.app.goo.gl/zb1YHK82Qq2SWKACA Always a home of intrigue for locals, this stunning two-storey residence commands its position high on Porters Hill, proudly overlooking the Fleurieu Peninsula. Here, incredible sweeping views stretch across farmland and rolling hills, from the Bluff at Encounter Bay all the way to the distant Coorong. Though within town limits, this Mediterranean-inspired retreat feels a world away, offering over 1,200sqm of private hillside seclusion. From the moment you arrive, a private road guides you past farmland and the original quarry, before opening to this hillside haven with no through-traffic or interruptions - a sanctuary of calm and privacy. Designed by Artec Building Designers and built in 1991, the home was stylishly updated in 2010, with further improvements made by its current custodians. The result is a residence that perfectly blends European charm with contemporary living. The grand alfresco terrace immediately sets the scene, spanning the full width of the home and creating a distinctly Mediterranean vibe. Blue louvered shutters, oversized Grecian pots, and abundant glass doors invite light, air, and views into every corner. From this elevated vantage point, the panorama is nothing short of breathtaking. Step inside to find interiors that echo the home's southern European aesthetic. Terracotta tiles, warm timber finishes, and Italian glass light fittings speak to a timeless style, while a slow combustion fireplace adds the rustic comfort of country living. At the heart of the home, a renovated entertainer's kitchen brings modern luxury to daily life - featuring stone benchtops, glossy cabinetry, a large island bench, glass splashback, and premium appliances. Functional yet beautiful, this is a kitchen designed for gatherings. On the lower level, both the master suite and guest bedroom open directly onto the alfresco terrace, their generous proportions matched by unforgettable views. The ensuite and main bathroom are equally well presented, while the laundry has direct ground-level access thanks to the slope of the land. Upstairs, a new dimension of living unfolds. A central lounge opens onto a tiled balcony with wrought iron balustrade, creating a library or reading nook framed by vast feature windows. A second sitting room offers flexibility - an ideal music room, additional lounge, or even another bedroom if required. The upper level also presents a second master suite, complete with his-and-hers walk-in robes (including a built-in desk for a private office space) and a fully renovated ensuite with sleek, screenless shower. For those with hobbies, projects, or simply plenty of vehicles, the three-bay garage (9m x 7.2m) delivers abundant space, with under-home water tanks positioned neatly on either side. Energy efficiency is assured with 16 solar panels, so all creature comforts can be enjoyed with complete peace of mind.
