20.73 Acres | Premium Adelaide Hills Holding

An outstanding landholding in a tightly held Adelaide Hills location, offering scale, privacy and exceptional proximity to the CBD. Accessed via Upper Sturt Road, the property is approximately 18 minutes to Adelaide via the Crafers Freeway or Old Belair Road.
The land comprises a combination of gently undulating and steeper country, providing multiple elevated potential building sites with expansive rural views. The setting is well suited to a substantial, architect-designed residence to maximise outlook, orientation and privacy. The existing 3 bedroom home on the property is neat, tidy and functional, with open-plan living areas, a full-length front verandah, extensive undercover parking, multiple sheds and a separate fully lined studio. Recent upgrades include a 7.5kW split-system air conditioner, updated electricals and hard-wired smoke alarms. The house offers immediate use or holding accommodation while you build your dream home.
Two fully fenced paddocks totalling approximately 10 acres offer high-quality open grazing, ideal for equestrian use. Mature gums and established trees are well distributed across the property, providing natural shelter, visual separation and a strong sense of space.
The property extends to the centre of the Sturt River, which flows year-round, with permanent, clear water, waterfalls and deep pools. The river corridor is well established with willows, large gums and a mix of native and introduced trees, including mature Blackwoods and remnants of an old orchard.
Water security is a key feature, with mains water connected and two dams holding water year-round, one shared equally with a neighbouring property. Riparian rights allow access to river water, subject to reinstatement of pumping infrastructure and relevant approvals.
This property provides flexibility -whether to move in immediately, immersing yourself in the peaceful natural environment, use as a comfortable weekender while enjoying horses and the land, or occupy while planning and constructing a new, landmark residence.
The property has documented connections to early settlement in the area. Historical records, including The Toilers of the Hills (Supplement to the South Australian Register, 6 May 1893), reference early transport routes over the Sturt Valley saddle and mining activity within the district. Features mentioned in those records, including remnants of a former silver mining operation, are located on the land.
Properties of this scale, with strong water security, equestrian capability and direct access to Adelaide, are increasingly rare. This holding presents a unique opportunity to secure a premium Hills lifestyle asset, equally suited to a luxury build or a more understated rural retreat.
