Luxury Eco-Tourism Villas

Fleurieu Peninsula - South Australia

Unique opportunity to purchase a new, spectacular Fleurieu Peninsula, luxury eco-tourism retreat.

Located on 75 acres of beautiful undulating bushland with magnificent coastal views, the retreat offers a choice of 3 architecturally designed self-contained luxury eco villas of different size and layout.

The Villas are sited on the edge of the landscape to take advantage of the views and surrounding countryside. Each Villa has un-interrupted panoramic views across the valley to the ocean beyond.

The undulating picturesque grazing land and native vegetation surroundings offer guests an unforgettable eco-experience, imparting the feeling of being secluded and well away from the hassles of everyday life.

The eco experience is further enhanced as you approach the retreat via a meandering driveway over the creek and through the bushland.

No expense has been spared with the construction of the Villas. They showcase eco sensitive, environmentally sustainable building features to optimise passive design and environmental harmony. Environmental features include renewable Australian ironbark & spotted construction, passive design with north/south orientation, 150mm thick walls with maximum insulation in walls and ceilings, rainwater collection for full water self sufficiency and efficient water use appliances.

The villas provide guests with complete privacy and provide a new style of luxury, eco accommodation in a magnificent natural setting.

Features in all villas include entry through private north facing sandstone paved courtyards and wide cedar doors opening up to the spacious decks that overlook the magnificent views.

Two of the Villas have 3 metre high ceilings throughout with the third having a 6 metre high cathedral ceiling.

Other features include ducted evaporative cooling, Nectre slow combustion heater, reverse cycle split systems, Caesar-stone bench tops, glass splash-backs, gas cook top stoves with electric ovens and range hoods, tiled living areas and plush carpets in the bedrooms. Each Villa accommodates 2 with luxury king size beds. Two of the Villas can be interconnecting when 4 guests are travelling together and when 6 guests are travelling together the largest of the Villas has seating for 6.

For bird and nature lovers, artists and photographers, there are walking tracks throughout the property where guests can discover the bio diversity and enjoy the panoramic landscapes.
