Leading developer Devine Communities has sold the first home at its $300 million Lakeside community at Andrews Farm to local boy and master chef Emmanuel Bombardieri.

Emmanuel, 23, who is the head chef at the nearby SA German Association, said he bought a three-bedroom terrace home at the new Lakeside community at Petherton Road because of its convenient location near his parents? home and the parents of his fiancée, Rachael Clarke.

"I grew up near here and went to school at St Columba College in Andrews Farm so I know it?s a good area," Mr Bombardieri said.

"I also liked the fact that the house came with all inclusions and the estate's design guidelines are designed to ensure a good level of presentation for the whole community."

The latest stage at Lakeside, Stage 10B, includes 82 homesites ranging in size from 210 sqm to 638 sqm, with land starting from $99,000 and home-and-land packages from $234,900.

Civil works are anticipated to commence in April, with settlements to commence in September 2009. Mr Bombardieri, whose specialities include beef rouladen and German cabbage rolls, will be entertaining guests in his new home by late October.

Stage 10B includes a number of homesites with sought-after reserve frontage, while all homes will be within walking distance of the reserve.

The release of stage 10B has been brought forward following strong demand for the previous stage, Stage 10A. It is within walking distance of a proposed bus route and a proposed primary school.

Devine is currently constructing one of Adelaide?s premier display villages at Lakeside, featuring displays from South Australia's premium project builders.

All homes will be built to meet a five-star energy rating, while the development will also include 'purple pipes', a water conservation measure that delivers reclaimed water for flushing toilets and irrigating gardens and reserves.

Andrews Farm is conveniently located midway between Adelaide and the Barossa Valley, within three kilometres of the region's major transport arterial Main North Road and less than two kilometres from the new Northern Expressway which is currently under construction.

The 52-hectare development is bounded by Stebonheath Road, Petherton Road and Andrews Road.
