IF you’ve always longed to be king of your own castle but also want to stay in Adelaide, here’s your chance — all that’s missing is a moat.
A two-storey home on Gorge Rd at Paracombe in the Adelaide Hills, designed to look like a castle and with a fitout to match, has hit the market for the first time.
Vendor April Ling, who started building the home in 2000 and completed it 10 years later, said the style was chosen to match the location.
“We built it from scratch. When we bought it, it was just a vacant piece of land,” she said.
“I thought being in the lower Adelaide Hills, it suited the environment and using the local stone, it blended in well.”
The property has five bedrooms in the main building set over two floors, as well as two kitchens, a home theatre with a bar, a billiard room, a conservatory and a balcony, as well as a detached self-contained apartment.
It is covered in features traditional to castles, including gargoyles, ornate ceilings, stained-glass windows and battlements, and also has modern features such as ducted airconditioning and vacuuming, modern appliances and built-in TVs.
The home also has curtains in the dining room and living room made from fabric from a unique source.
“I ordered fabric from a place in England. They didn’t have any stock of what I wanted (but) they called me back and said if I don’t mind they have fabric already cut and put aside for Princess Diana,” Ms Ling said.
“It’s a really unique fabric, they didn’t know if that would put me off ... but I was a huge fan and said I would love to have it.”
Ms Ling says the home’s location in the outer northeastern suburbs feels like the countryside but is still close to the city.
“It is quite close, it is only 20km to the city, it is far enough away to enjoy the country lifestyle without being too far away,” she said.
“A lot of people have asked about the moat, maybe the new owners can put one in.”
Toop & Toop sales consultant Troy Tyndall, who is selling the property, said he has never seen a home like it in South Australia.
“It is only built in 2000 but it feels like it is 400 years old,” he said.
“The whole house is automated, there’s a ‘good night’ button next to the bed that turns off all of the lights, sets the alarm, and secures it.
“There’s a huge amount of marble and mahogany, the detail in the timberwork is crazy.”
While built as a residence, Mr Tyndall said the home could have several different uses.
“It has a commercial-grade kitchen with a dumbwaiter and a standard kitchen, you could run a business if you wanted to ... you could run a bed and breakfast, or a wine-tasting place,” he said.
“When you drive through those gates, you are back in Macbeth’s day. It is incredible.”

Le Sea Cloud II est un trois-mâts barque moderne, à coque acier, construit en 2001 dans les chantiers navals de l’Astilleros Gondán à Castropol (Asturias), Puerto de Figueras, en Espagne.
Ce luxueux voilier de croisière est la propriété de la branche maritime de la holding Hansa Treuhand et géré par la Sea Cloud Cruises GmbH. Il a pris le nom de Sea Cloud II en raison de sa sœur d'armement le Sea Cloud, un quatre-mâts barque lancé en 1935.
Le projet de construire un deuxième voilier de luxe date de 1994. Il devait rester dans l'esprit du Sea Cloud et offrir aux passagers la tradition de la grande marine à voile, mais avec le luxe et le confort des temps modernes.
La grande difficulté fut de trouver un chantier naval capable d'accomplir ce défi. Un premier chantier finlandais fut trouvé, mais sa faillite subite mena ce projet en Espagne, dans les chantiers de Figueras. Il fut terminé avec un an de retard.
Il fit sa croisière inaugurale en février 2001 le long des côtes espagnoles.
Il dispose de 47 cabines pour une capacité de 96 passagers.
Il s'agit d'un trois-mâts de 135,7 m de long , 28 voiles pour 4 166 m2, et 69 cabines pour 136 passagers.
The Sea Cloud II is a large barque built as a cruise ship, and operated by Sea Cloud Cruises GmbH of Hamburg, Germany. A luxury vessel, she sails under the Maltese flag. The Roman suffix II indicates that she is the company's second ship. She is neither a sister to, nor the successor of, the Sea Cloud (ex Hussar II), but a separate vessel.
Due to the success of the operator's first ship, Sea Cloud, but also for economic reasons, the operator decided to put another sailing ship into service.
Unlike the Sea Cloud, the Sea Cloud II is a newbuilding. The contract for her construction was awarded to the Asturian shipbuilder Astilleros Gondán, SA. The keel laying was held there on 24 June 1998.
The rigging was planned and produced by Navicom in Wolgast. The 23 sails were made in Poland.
Sea Cloud II was launched on 18 March 1999. However, the owner's exacting demands in relation to interior fitout caused delivery problems and personnel problems. This led to a roughly one-year delay. The ship was eventually handed over to Sea Cloud Cruises on 29 December 2000, in a not yet completely finished state.
On 22 January 2001, the final work was completed. The Sea Cloud II was christened on 6 February 2001 in Las Palmas, Canary Islands. The sponsor was Sabine Christiansen.
Hull[edit]
The Sea Cloud II has an overall length of 105.90 m (347 ft 5 in). Her maximum beam is 16.0 m (52 ft 6 in) and her draught is described as 5.70 m (18 ft 8 in). Her hull is built of standard shipbuilding steel, and is fitted with eight watertight bulkheads.
Three of the Sea Cloud II's decks are continuous. She has a 3,849 gross tonnage (GT), and is equipped with three anchors, weighing a total of 2,280 kg (5,030 lb).
Decks[edit]
The ship has five decks. The bridge deck is used as a sun deck behind the superstructure. Below it is the main deck, which is called the lido deck. It has a bar, lounge, the Owner Suites and the library.
The promenade deck, or first sub-deck, houses the reception area, restaurant, boutique, and the junior suites. Outside the windows of the suites is a promenade; no balconies are available. Externally, the Sea Cloud II is recognizable by the long "cutouts" in her hull.
The cabin deck is the second sub-deck. As its name suggests, it houses the cabins, but also a fitness room, sauna and a room for medical care. On the lowest deck are cabins for the crew members, along with the kitchen and other service facilities. A freight elevator connects the decks.
There is no pool aboard the Sea Cloud II. Instead, she has a foldable platform, which facilitates sea-based watersports.
Cabins and suites[edit]
In the cabins and suites, a maximum of 96 passengers can be accommodated. The interior of the Sea Cloud II is air conditioned, and in the cabins and suites, the temperature can be regulated.
There are 27 outside cabins with portholes. By price category, the room sizes range from 12 m2 (130 sq ft) to 20 m2 (220 sq ft). They are always equipped with two beds, and a TV, safe, shower, toilet and marble vanity tops with gold-plated taps, amongst other features. In the three interior cabins, the lowest category, there are bunk beds.
The 16 "junior suites" are 23 m2 (250 sq ft) in size, and are equipped with large windows. They also have more luxurious furnishings and interior decorations. The bathrooms are slightly larger than in the cabins and have a bath. The two so-called "owner suites" differ from the "junior suites" by having a room size of 27 m2 (290 sq ft), more extensive furnishings (including a four-poster bed) and a much larger bathroom with tub and separate shower.

Rigging[edit]
The Sea Cloud II is a square-rigger with fore-mast, main-mast and mizzen-mast. The top of her main-mast is 57 m (187 ft) above deck. Her 23 sails have a total area of approximately 3,000 m2 (32,000 sq ft). She is sailed traditionally by hand, as is common, for example, on sail training ships.
Machinery[edit]
The vessel's main power plants consist of two four-stroke diesel engines made by Krupp MaK Maschinenbau GmbH, each developing 1,240 kW (1,660 hp) at 900 revolutions/minute. The propeller is driven via a gear mechanism. Using this means of propulsion, the Sea Cloud II achieves a top speed of about 13 knots. Additionally, she is equipped with a bow thruster.
Three main generators developing a total of 1,653 kW (2,217 hp) generate the on-board voltage of 380/220 V AC, 50 Hz. There is also a 187 kW (251 hp) emergency generator.

Description:
This project for Monash University is to house a new architecture department within the Faculty of Art and Design, due for commencement in 2008. The spaces comprise flexible design studios, academic and research offices, administration and meeting rooms, a CAD/CAM laboratory and a series of informal areas for students and staff. The design developed as an exploration of pedagogical scenarios specific to the study of architecture. These scenarios, translated as varied sectional conditions, are inscribed in the circulation zones of the plan through a series of faceted walls that loft from one scenario to another. Constructed of hard-wearing rubber sheet and bulletin-board for the display and presentation of student work, these walls also simultaneously function as bench seat, work bench, model stand or projection screen.
IF you’ve always longed to be king of your own castle but also want to stay in Adelaide, here’s your chance — all that’s missing is a moat.
A two-storey home on Gorge Rd at Paracombe in the Adelaide Hills, designed to look like a castle and with a fitout to match, has hit the market for the first time.
Vendor April Ling, who started building the home in 2000 and completed it 10 years later, said the style was chosen to match the location.
“We built it from scratch. When we bought it, it was just a vacant piece of land,” she said.
“I thought being in the lower Adelaide Hills, it suited the environment and using the local stone, it blended in well.”
The property has five bedrooms in the main building set over two floors, as well as two kitchens, a home theatre with a bar, a billiard room, a conservatory and a balcony, as well as a detached self-contained apartment.
It is covered in features traditional to castles, including gargoyles, ornate ceilings, stained-glass windows and battlements, and also has modern features such as ducted airconditioning and vacuuming, modern appliances and built-in TVs.
The home also has curtains in the dining room and living room made from fabric from a unique source.
“I ordered fabric from a place in England. They didn’t have any stock of what I wanted (but) they called me back and said if I don’t mind they have fabric already cut and put aside for Princess Diana,” Ms Ling said.
“It’s a really unique fabric, they didn’t know if that would put me off ... but I was a huge fan and said I would love to have it.”
Ms Ling says the home’s location in the outer northeastern suburbs feels like the countryside but is still close to the city.
“It is quite close, it is only 20km to the city, it is far enough away to enjoy the country lifestyle without being too far away,” she said.
“A lot of people have asked about the moat, maybe the new owners can put one in.”
Toop & Toop sales consultant Troy Tyndall, who is selling the property, said he has never seen a home like it in South Australia.
“It is only built in 2000 but it feels like it is 400 years old,” he said.
“The whole house is automated, there’s a ‘good night’ button next to the bed that turns off all of the lights, sets the alarm, and secures it.
“There’s a huge amount of marble and mahogany, the detail in the timberwork is crazy.”
While built as a residence, Mr Tyndall said the home could have several different uses.
“It has a commercial-grade kitchen with a dumbwaiter and a standard kitchen, you could run a business if you wanted to ... you could run a bed and breakfast, or a wine-tasting place,” he said.
“When you drive through those gates, you are back in Macbeth’s day. It is incredible.”

While built as a residence, Mr Tyndall said the home could have several different uses.
“It has a commercial-grade kitchen with a dumbwaiter and a standard kitchen, you could run a business if you wanted to ... you could run a bed and breakfast, or a wine-tasting place,” he said.
“When you drive through those gates, you are back in Macbeth’s day. It is incredible.”

Le Sea Cloud II est un trois-mâts barque moderne, à coque acier, construit en 2001 dans les chantiers navals de l’Astilleros Gondán à Castropol (Asturias), Puerto de Figueras, en Espagne.
Ce luxueux voilier de croisière est la propriété de la branche maritime de la holding Hansa Treuhand et géré par la Sea Cloud Cruises GmbH. Il a pris le nom de Sea Cloud II en raison de sa sœur d'armement le Sea Cloud, un quatre-mâts barque lancé en 1935.
Le projet de construire un deuxième voilier de luxe date de 1994. Il devait rester dans l'esprit du Sea Cloud et offrir aux passagers la tradition de la grande marine à voile, mais avec le luxe et le confort des temps modernes.
La grande difficulté fut de trouver un chantier naval capable d'accomplir ce défi. Un premier chantier finlandais fut trouvé, mais sa faillite subite mena ce projet en Espagne, dans les chantiers de Figueras. Il fut terminé avec un an de retard.
Il fit sa croisière inaugurale en février 2001 le long des côtes espagnoles.
Il dispose de 47 cabines pour une capacité de 96 passagers.
Il s'agit d'un trois-mâts de 135,7 m de long , 28 voiles pour 4 166 m2, et 69 cabines pour 136 passagers.
The Sea Cloud II is a large barque built as a cruise ship, and operated by Sea Cloud Cruises GmbH of Hamburg, Germany. A luxury vessel, she sails under the Maltese flag. The Roman suffix II indicates that she is the company's second ship. She is neither a sister to, nor the successor of, the Sea Cloud (ex Hussar II), but a separate vessel.
Due to the success of the operator's first ship, Sea Cloud, but also for economic reasons, the operator decided to put another sailing ship into service.
Unlike the Sea Cloud, the Sea Cloud II is a newbuilding. The contract for her construction was awarded to the Asturian shipbuilder Astilleros Gondán, SA. The keel laying was held there on 24 June 1998.
The rigging was planned and produced by Navicom in Wolgast. The 23 sails were made in Poland.
Sea Cloud II was launched on 18 March 1999. However, the owner's exacting demands in relation to interior fitout caused delivery problems and personnel problems. This led to a roughly one-year delay. The ship was eventually handed over to Sea Cloud Cruises on 29 December 2000, in a not yet completely finished state.
On 22 January 2001, the final work was completed. The Sea Cloud II was christened on 6 February 2001 in Las Palmas, Canary Islands. The sponsor was Sabine Christiansen.
Hull[edit]
The Sea Cloud II has an overall length of 105.90 m (347 ft 5 in). Her maximum beam is 16.0 m (52 ft 6 in) and her draught is described as 5.70 m (18 ft 8 in). Her hull is built of standard shipbuilding steel, and is fitted with eight watertight bulkheads.
Three of the Sea Cloud II's decks are continuous. She has a 3,849 gross tonnage (GT), and is equipped with three anchors, weighing a total of 2,280 kg (5,030 lb).
Decks[edit]
The ship has five decks. The bridge deck is used as a sun deck behind the superstructure. Below it is the main deck, which is called the lido deck. It has a bar, lounge, the Owner Suites and the library.
The promenade deck, or first sub-deck, houses the reception area, restaurant, boutique, and the junior suites. Outside the windows of the suites is a promenade; no balconies are available. Externally, the Sea Cloud II is recognizable by the long "cutouts" in her hull.
The cabin deck is the second sub-deck. As its name suggests, it houses the cabins, but also a fitness room, sauna and a room for medical care. On the lowest deck are cabins for the crew members, along with the kitchen and other service facilities. A freight elevator connects the decks.
There is no pool aboard the Sea Cloud II. Instead, she has a foldable platform, which facilitates sea-based watersports.
Cabins and suites[edit]
In the cabins and suites, a maximum of 96 passengers can be accommodated. The interior of the Sea Cloud II is air conditioned, and in the cabins and suites, the temperature can be regulated.
There are 27 outside cabins with portholes. By price category, the room sizes range from 12 m2 (130 sq ft) to 20 m2 (220 sq ft). They are always equipped with two beds, and a TV, safe, shower, toilet and marble vanity tops with gold-plated taps, amongst other features. In the three interior cabins, the lowest category, there are bunk beds.
The 16 "junior suites" are 23 m2 (250 sq ft) in size, and are equipped with large windows. They also have more luxurious furnishings and interior decorations. The bathrooms are slightly larger than in the cabins and have a bath. The two so-called "owner suites" differ from the "junior suites" by having a room size of 27 m2 (290 sq ft), more extensive furnishings (including a four-poster bed) and a much larger bathroom with tub and separate shower.

Rigging[edit]
The Sea Cloud II is a square-rigger with fore-mast, main-mast and mizzen-mast. The top of her main-mast is 57 m (187 ft) above deck. Her 23 sails have a total area of approximately 3,000 m2 (32,000 sq ft). She is sailed traditionally by hand, as is common, for example, on sail training ships.
Machinery[edit]
The vessel's main power plants consist of two four-stroke diesel engines made by Krupp MaK Maschinenbau GmbH, each developing 1,240 kW (1,660 hp) at 900 revolutions/minute. The propeller is driven via a gear mechanism. Using this means of propulsion, the Sea Cloud II achieves a top speed of about 13 knots. Additionally, she is equipped with a bow thruster.
Three main generators developing a total of 1,653 kW (2,217 hp) generate the on-board voltage of 380/220 V AC, 50 Hz. There is also a 187 kW (251 hp) emergency generator.
