It was crush at first sight when 12-year-old Mallory’s family purchased a holiday home, named ‘The Love Shack’, in Blanchetown - two doors down from 13-year-old Jack’s family’s, ‘The Sugar Shack’.

Almost two decades later, the couple walked down the aisle at Carrick Hill after Jack proposed surrounded by balloons, rose petals, flowers and music during a hotel stay at Eos by SkyCity.

In the Adelaide Hills, where small town centres and their surrounds pay homage to years gone by, this unique architectural marvel goes against the grain.

Needing to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, the rolling hills of Heathfield and the local wildlife had all the makings of the hill change Duncan and his wife Nicole, along with their two samoyeds, were in search of.

This Heathfield home received the Architectural Award from the South Australia Institute of Architects in 2018 in the new home category.

The outdoors features a swimming pool, tennis court, cold plunge and an external pool house with an outdoor entertaining area, a sauna and a shower and change room.

Duncan and Nicole are now looking to downsize as they look towards focusing less on work and more on travel. Duncan says he will miss the tranquillity the most.

Once owned by artist David Bromley, The Mill at Middleton is a creative hub and historic home that boasts a swimming pool, boutique accommodation, creative studios and more.

In 2006, winemaker and distiller Rose Kentish and her artist husband Sam Harrison moved into the building with their four children.

The couple previously lived in McLaren Vale, where they owned Ulithorne Wines, but holidayed on the south coast and desired a more permanent sea change.

The Mill has eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms and three kitchens across four stories. There is 1200 square metres of living space on about 1.5 hectares of land.

Among the property’s many spaces are a ceramics studio, a painting studio, a yoga studio and a perfumery.

Rose and Sam are now looking to downsize, and are ready for The Mill to enter its next chapter, whether that be residential, commercial or otherwise.
