"The Bairn" - Where the Hills Hold You Close...

Set gently back from the road, The Bairn reveals itself slowly, as all truly special places do. Completed in 2017 yet already carrying the timeless grace of a country estate, this 1.16-hectare property is wrapped in a park-like embrace of more than 40 deciduous trees. Here, the world softens and light dances through branches, seasons paint the landscape, and the hush of nature feels like a personal gift.

The home's solid stone façade, paired with Tasmanian oak details, feels as if it has grown from the land itself. To the left, a magnificent oak tree stands sentinel over emerald lawns kept lush by a discreet irrigation system. At the property's edge, the Onkaparinga River winds its way quietly through the landscape, lending its gentle song to every moment spent outdoors.

Inside, the welcome is instant. The entryway anchored by a stone water feature and a window seat offers a first glimpse of the home's craftsmanship: 2.5-metre ceilings, timber floors, and double-glazed windows framing views as art.

The kitchen is the beating heart of The Bairn. A solid Welsh slate benchtop, a farmhouse sink, and a walk-in pantry are beautifully lit by sunlight streaming in through generous panes of glass. An Esse cooker warms the air and the atmosphere, just as ready for slow Sunday roasts as it is for lively dinner parties. Steps below, the dining room and sunroom spills onto the outdoors, blurring the line between home and garden.

The sunken living room calls for slow evenings-its feature exposed timber beams, stone fireplace & and Jetmaster fire wrapping you in comfort. In summer, the mature trees filter the light, keeping the space cool and dappled.

A sunroom lined with windows and bookshelves becomes the perfect in-between; a place to watch the seasons turn before stepping out to the Jarrah deck. Here, mornings begin with coffee and birdsong, afternoons drift into laughter with friends, and evenings melt into the scent of cool air beneath a grand oak's canopy.

Upstairs, the master suite is its own sanctuary, with a private office, walk-in robe, and a luxurious ensuite. From the raised bathtub, the view of the grounds is nothing short of poetic, perfect for watching the stars emerge one by one. Heated towel rails and a double shower complete the indulgence.

Beyond beauty, The Bairn is built for life well-lived: four generous sheds, a repurposed chicken coop-turned-woodstore, a natural soakage system, and hydronic heating ensure the home works as effortlessly as it charms.

In the heart of Balhannah, shops, schools, and public transport sit just a short stroll beyond the gate, keeping daily life close at hand. The Bairn is more than a home, it's a retreat, a statement, and a way of life. Every element, from its stone walls to its sunlit corners, has been crafted with care, offering the rarest of luxuries: the feeling that you are exactly where you're meant to be.
