A generational estate of rare distinction, held by one family for more than 80 years, this remarkable holding is offered to the market for the first time. A property of this calibre is seldom seen - a dual-title, gated Adelaide foothills estate that seamlessly blends heritage, scale and vision. Designed for those seeking something truly exceptional. It presents an unrivalled opportunity for multi-generational living, an exclusive private sanctuary, or a landmark future project of enduring significance. Set high above the surroundings, the estate captures a breathtaking daily rhythm - from golden sunrises over the hills to glowing sunsets that fade into twinkling city lights, and the ocean beyond. This is a setting where privacy, prestige and possibility co-exist in perfect harmony.

26 James Road - The Jewel in the Crown on approximately 1,775m, this contemporary, architecturally designed residence is the heart of the estate. A home where natural light, scale and outlook are celebrated, it delivers an elevated family lifestyle with flexibility at its core. Floor-to-ceiling, double-glazed north-facing windows and 2.75m ceilings flood the interiors with warmth and openness, while refined design elements ensure effortless everyday living. The fully equipped kitchen - complete with quality stainless steel appliances, electric cooktop and breakfast bar anchors the home, making entertaining and casual family living seamless. The adaptable floorplan allows for up to five bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with a romantic Romeo-&-Juliet balcony, or alternatively four bedrooms complemented by a substantial second living zone - ideal for extended family or teenage retreat living. Internally, the home is further enhanced by three bathrooms, a temperature-controlled Eurocave wine cellar for over 1,000 bottles, offering both comfort and indulgence. Step outside to a spacious balcony designed for grand entertaining, where uninterrupted views stretch across the entire Adelaide skyline from the hills to the ocean.

This significant allotment presents an exceptional opportunity for transformation - whether reimagined as a second residence, a multi-generational extension, or a future-focused redevelopment (STCC). Positioned high on the hillside, the sense of space, fresh air and quiet seclusion is unmistakable.
