Property Details for 989 Ilparpa Rd, White Gums
Last Listing description (June 2026)
A rare and remarkable opportunity awaits to secure this magical freehold property, stretching from the northern banks of Roe Creek all the way to the top of the Blatherskite Range.
Zoned (R) Rural, this is the largest individual landholding of its type within the Alice Springs municipality. Just 18 kilometres from town, the homestead is an adventurous 1.6-kilometre drive down the access road, across the picturesque creek bed and up the rise to a perfectly positioned, environmentally conscious home and studio.
Here, you’ll live among towering red river gums, coolabahs, mulgas and ironwoods, accompanied by the calls of abundant birdlife and the quiet presence of native wildlife. After the rains, the land bursts into colour with seasonal wildflowers—just as quickly fading back into the desert tapestry.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home captures the best of its surrounds, with its north-facing outlook over Roe Creek and the protective backdrop of the range to the south. Expansive timber decking wraps around the front, connecting seamlessly with the landscape behind.
Designed with off-grid living in mind, the home is fully tiled and solar passive. An artificial riverbed runs beside the central walkway and living areas, cleverly harnessing natural evaporative cooling, while the striking sandstone fireplace—with thermal mass and ventilation—forms both a practical and artistic centrepiece. High raked ceilings and dramatic sky windows further enhance the light, airflow and design.
The split-level lounge opens to the deck via sliding glass doors, while the mezzanine-level dining area and beautifully renovated gas kitchen frame breathtaking views through oversized picture windows.
The main suite includes a walk-in robe and elegant ensuite, with two additional bedrooms serviced by a spacious family bathroom and separate toilet.
Outdoor living was central to the home’s design. A sheltered alfresco kitchen with extra storage encourages entertaining, while a stylish shade sail defines the outdoor dining space. Further afield, a shaded, purpose-built BBQ area set along the creek bed provides the ultimate bushland experience.
A fully self-contained transportable studio, positioned 100 metres from the main home, offers privacy for extended family, a home office, or a potential rental.
Sustainability is ensured with solar panels, 24 new batteries, and a Kabota diesel backup generator installed in 2024. Water is supplied via a solar-operated bore and complemented by additional rainwater storage. Multiple carports complete the offering.
This one-of-a-kind sanctuary combines comfort, creativity, and sustainability in a breathtaking natural setting—an inspiring retreat just minutes from Alice Springs.
