15 Gum Grove
Belair, SA 5052

Like a dark, moody sculpture that appears to have naturally emerged from the earth, this suspended architectural home embraces its gum-studded surroundings with a unique connection to nature. Designed by architect Max Pritchard and built in 2008, the residence is set on a rugged 1,980 square meter parcel of bushland, offering a striking alternative to typical suburban homes.

The exterior features corrugated iron cladding, polished concrete, and long horizontal lines, complemented by extensive glazing that allows natural light to flood the interior and provides uninterrupted views of the surrounding bushland. The design fosters a deep conversation between the indoor spaces and the natural environment.

The main living area is expansive and open-plan, combining the lounge, dining, and kitchen into one generous social space. Large windows and sliding glass doors connect this area seamlessly to a curvaceous deck, inviting the outdoors in and creating a harmonious flow for daily living and entertaining.

The kitchen is robust yet understated, featuring white cabinetry, timber benchtops, a breakfast bar, ample storage, a wall oven, and a dishwasher. It is strategically positioned to maintain sightlines across the lounge, dining area, and deck, facilitating easy interaction and supervision.

The home’s clever L-shaped layout separates the bedroom wing from the social areas, enhancing privacy and functionality. This wing includes three bedrooms, a central bathroom, a laundry, and a main bedroom with an ensuite and built-in robes. A secondary family zone or kids’ retreat is also incorporated, providing additional living flexibility.

Below the main living areas, a double garage with an automatic panel lift door offers internal access, storage space, and a powder room, ensuring practical everyday functionality without compromising the elevated design.

Belair is a sought-after location for those desiring proximity to Adelaide while enjoying a tranquil, natural setting. This property benefits from nearby national park trails, Belair train station, local shops, quality schools, Mitcham Square, and easy access to the city, all while feeling removed from urban noise.
