A Story of Heritage, Heart, and Generational Craftsmanship

There are homes that simply offer shelter, and then there are homes that hold the stories of the district itself. 9 Station Road, Willunga belongs firmly in the latter category — a landmark farmhouse built circa 1848 by one of the area's earliest European pioneers, standing as a rare surviving example of an original austerity build in one of South Australia's oldest townships. Its freestone walls and slate floors have witnessed nearly two centuries of Willunga's evolution, from a fledgling settlement to the vibrant cultural centre it is today.
Properties of this calibre come to market only once in a generation, and often far less. Its provenance is woven into the lives of well-known families, including the Pethick, Middlebrooks and Aldam families, whose names form part of the region's early tapestry. More recently, the home has been held by well-loved local artisans for over thirty years.
When they first walked onto the land, they recognised instantly the extraordinary character of the old farmhouse — the authenticity of its form, the magnificence of the gardens, and the quiet beauty of the reserve that stretches behind it. They saw not only a home, but a place to raise their family, entertain friends, and build an artist's studio that would become an integral part of their creative life.
Over the decades, the property bloomed under their stewardship. The austerity era structure was carefully respected, with updates undertaken only where needed, and always with admiration for the original craftsmanship. The result is a home that honours the past while gently embracing the present. The warmth of Baltic timber floors, the cool permanence of Willunga slate, and the irreplaceable charm of antique casement windows with wavy glass create an atmosphere that feels timeless. Each room tells its own small chapter in the home's long life.
Inside, the residence offers a sense of calm and generosity. Two of the three larger bedrooms feature fireplaces, echoing traditions of early Australian living, while a fourth room currently serves as a home office overlooking the garden. The kitchen forms the heart of the home, a place where meals, stories, and family life converge. Upgraded cabinetry and a beautiful oven bring modern practicality, while the slow combustion fireplace, antique windows, and original stonework preserve its historic presence.
Across the home, the thick stone and brick walls create natural insulation, keeping the interior wonderfully cool in summer and warm in winter, supported by additional fireplaces, slow combustion heaters, and split system cooling. Also a spacious laundry with additional W/C, alongside the bathroom appointed with a claw bath, vanity, W/C, and the rare inclusion of an original squat toilet.
Beyond the main dwelling, the property unfolds into spaces that offer creativity, storage, and possibility. The artist's studio enjoys a captivating outlook across the reserve and is complete with its own slow combustion fireplace. An underground cellar with a loft adds charm and utility, hinting at future uses for wine, storage, or atmospheric conversion. A workshop provides further space for craft, trades, or hobbies.
The gardens are an experience in their own right. They encircle the home with colour, privacy, and serenity, culminating in the presence of an extraordinary ancient gum tree — affectionately known as the “magic tree” — a natural sentinel believed to be hundreds of years old. It stands as a reminder that this land has held significance long before any dwelling was built.
The property's 1,558 sqm allotment feels even larger thanks to the reserve behind it, offering a sense of openness, tranquillity, and connection to nature. It is easy to imagine gatherings beneath the gum's canopy, children exploring the garden paths, or quiet mornings spent looking across the reserve as the light filters through the trees.
Location is one of 9 Station Road's greatest strengths. Set within the historic heart of Willunga, the home is only a short walk from the famed Willunga Farmers Market, High Street cafés, boutique restaurants, pubs, breweries, and the vibrant energy of weekend life.
