A business tycoon is demolishing the $3.2 million house he bought just last year because it 'doesn't suit the landscape' and intends to build an even more palatial home in its place.

Nicho Teng migrated to Australia from China in 2011 and has called South Australia home since - and now he has a proposal before council to demolish the existing house at his vast property in Mitcham, in southern Adelaide.

The proposed plan involves demolishing the home, plus the pool and entertainment area that was only completed just before he bought the property in April 2018, and replace it with a 1,000-square-metre French chateau-style home.

Mr Teng told The Advertiser the home was originally built in 2004 and no longer suits the landscape.

He said he and his family have been making small adjustments to the home and are yet to move in.

'I don't necessarily need to build now — just whenever we're ready,' the managing director of Greaton said.

'I don't think this is anything special — there are much bigger houses across the hillside.'

Currently the home has a resort-style feel with five bedrooms - one of which could be used as a retreat.

The kitchen is decked out with granite bench tops and splash backs, a St George double over, walk-in pantry and a dishwasher.

The grounds have an award-winning Infinity pool, potential for a tennis court and an automated irrigation system to lawns.

Mr Teng would not reveal how much he would pay for the redesign but said the main floor would include a library, study, six bedrooms, a living area, formal dining area and outdoor alfresco.

The basement would include a music studio, theatre, sauna and a gym.

Outside there would be a pool, a tennis court and other entertaining areas.

Some local residents were demanding Mitcham council deny the proposal as they believe it is 'non-compliant'.

Jonathon Freeman said it is up to the council to determine if the proposal meets rules and regulations and 'we don't think it is'.

Locals aren't the only ones with concerns - Brownhill Creek Association's Ron Bellchambers said public access via the property to the Yurrebilla Trail and to the Mitcham Waterworks heritage site must be retained

Others asked why you would buy the property to 'flatten' it.

The council's Assessment Panel were discussing Mr Teng's proposal on Thursday.
