THE GOLDEN COMPASS
1 Ayrshire Lane, Dalefield/Speargrass Flat
Architect | Dravitzki Brown
Builder | Bruce Perry of Newco Builders
Home & Garaging | 645 m2
Land | 1 ha / 10,000 m2 / 2.5 acres
This substantial, high-quality home in the heart of the Golden Triangle will support home occupations, large family living, and extended guest stays. It's an ideal base for pursuing new interests at home while seeking adventure from the gate when it calls.
The high-quality construction prioritises energy efficiency & sustainability with a state-of-the-art ground-source hydronic underfloor heating system, 280mm ECOBLOCK insulated walls, and argon-filled thermally-broken joinery. Timeless exterior design principles were applied in selecting cedar weatherboards, Spanish slate tile roofing, and a classic Otago schist feature chimney.
Spacious living areas include a formal lounge with a statement wood fireplace and open-plan dining and casual living spaces. Lined with floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall sliding glass doors, these spaces make for perfect year-round entertaining and daily enjoyment of the ever-changing light and magnificent 360 degree views.
The residence features flexible accommodation, including a main bedroom (with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe), a second bedroom (with ensuite), two guest suites (with walk-in-wardrobes, ensuites and kitchenettes), a fifth bedroom (or study/nursery), and yet another particularly large multi-purpose room - the options are endless.
The exterior and grounds are equally expansive, with a Jetmaster open fireplace in the front courtyard, a robust garden and lawn irrigation system, and ample off-street parking. Newly rabbit fenced and protected from prying eyes by bunds and mature planting around the boundaries - this is a private estate that will serve as a platform for social gatherings while providing endless opportunities to further enhance and develop in your own style.
In addition to three car, internal access garaging with substantial loft space, a separate 100 m2+ building is currently configured as double garage door with four smaller rooms for storage and hobbies. If additional garaging is required, this building could be easily reconfigured to support four cars, bringing the total to seven.
