Summary:
Welcome to the Halo Home — a truly rare, luxury escape perched on Heiligen Ridge Heathcote, in the heart of iconic wine country. With breath taking sunsets and unrivalled views sweeping across rolling vineyards, mountain ranges and ancient earth, this architecturally striking, off-grid retreat offers a feeling to take home and relive. A rare sense of freedom that comes from being on this ridge — where sky, stars, land, and soul feel infinite.
The Space:
Set 1,000 feet above sea level, Halo Home is immersed in breathtaking beauty, with sweeping views in every direction. Designed to frame the surrounding landscape, this architectural retreat brings the outdoors in, offering uninterrupted vistas from the bed, kitchen and breakfast bar — creating the feeling of living inside a moving painting. Floor-to-ceiling glass reveals panoramic views across vineyards, rolling hills, distant mountains and endless skies, where unforgettable sunsets, frequent shooting stars and even the rare southern aurora can be seen. Fully solar-powered and off-grid, the home pairs sustainability with indulgent comfort, featuring a premium DrRest queen mattress dressed in French cotton linen, a fluffy Bonny doona, and luxury DSTNTN robes, slippers and Leif bath products. Outside, an open-air black bathtub, fire pit and lounge chairs invite slow evenings set to music from the Marshall speaker, while indoor and outdoor dining spaces offer some of the most memorable meals you’ll ever enjoy. The kitchenette is thoughtfully equipped with a gas stove, outdoor BBQ, Smeg kettle and toaster, Nespresso machine, full cookware, pantry essentials and a charcuterie board for effortless wine-and-cheese moments. LED strip lighting and a DSTNTN scented candle set the mood, while games and a film projector loaded with classic movies add a nostalgic touch. There’s no Wi-Fi by design — encouraging digital disconnection — though mobile reception remains reliable should you need it.
