33 Mersey Street, Gilberton
In one of Adelaide's most tightly held and prestigious city-fringe enclaves, this exceptional Torrens Titled allotment presents a rare opportunity to create a landmark residence overlooking the River Torrens Linear Park.
Positioned within an exclusive pocket of Gilberton where opportunities to secure vacant land are increasingly scarce, the property combines tranquil parkland living with the extraordinary convenience of being only moments from North Adelaide and the Adelaide CBD.
Backing directly onto the Torrens Linear Park walking and cycling trails, this premium home site offers a lifestyle that few addresses in Adelaide can match - where morning runs along the river, weekend rides through the parklands and evening walks to the restaurants and cafs of North Adelaide become part of everyday life. From the rear of the property, step directly onto the Linear Park trail network that connects seamlessly to Adelaide Oval, the Botanic Gardens, the Adelaide Zoo and the CBD.
Perfectly positioned between North Adelaide and Walkerville, the location places you within easy reach of Adelaide's most vibrant lifestyle precincts including Melbourne Street, O'Connell Street and the Norwood Parade, all offering an exceptional selection of restaurants, cafs, wine bars and boutique shopping.
Adelaide Oval, the Botanic Gardens, the Adelaide Zoo and the cultural institutions of the Riverbank precinct are all within walking distance, while the CBD is only minutes away.
For families, this address sits at the centre of Adelaide's most prestigious and respected education corridor. Within close proximity are St Peter's College, Wilderness School, Prince Alfred College and St Andrew's School, while the property is zoned for Walkerville Primary School, Adelaide High School and the highly sought-after Adelaide Botanic High School.
Opportunities to secure a fully approved luxury home site backing directly onto the River Torrens Linear Park are exceptionally rare.
Even more compelling is that the property is offered with full development approval for a substantial three-storey architectural residence of approximately 400sqm, designed to maximise the site's desirable north-south orientation and parkland outlook.
For those seeking an even more significant architectural statement, there is also scope to amend the approval to incorporate a fourth level (subject to council consent).
The approved design provides the opportunity to create a magnificent city-fringe residence where expansive living spaces and elevated levels capture tranquil Linear Park outlooks while remaining only moments from North Adelaide and the Adelaide CBD.
Extensive architectural design, engineering and planning approvals have already been completed, with over $150,000 invested in the planning and approval process, allowing the next owner to commence construction without the lengthy and complex approval timelines typically associated with building in such a prestigious suburb.
Vacant Torrens Titled land within this exclusive Linear Park pocket of Gilberton is exceptionally scarce, with most properties tightly held for generations.
Whether you are seeking to build a sophisticated city-fringe residence or secure a rare landholding in one of Adelaide's most desirable suburbs, this property represents an outstanding opportunity.
