Rarely does an offering of such monumental scale and significant historical gravity reach the open market. Positioned in the absolute heart of Adelaide's western suburbs, perfectly situated between the vibrant CBD and the golden sands of the metropolitan coast, this expansive 4,457sqm (approx.) land holding represents the ultimate "blank canvas" for the creative developer.
The Land: A Development Powerhouse
Boasting a massive combined frontage of 73.12m and a substantial depth of 60m, this prime allotment is spread across four separate titles (Lots 108, 109, 110, and 111), each measuring approximately 1,114.34sqm.
Whether your vision is a high-end residential enclave of luxury townhouses or a mixed-use masterpiece (STCC), the sheer volume of land provides a level of flexibility that is virtually extinct in such a central location. Moments from the Adelaide Airport and key transport corridors, the site is primed to service the growing demand for premium Western Adelaide real estate.
The Residence: A Victorian Icon
At the heart of this estate sits a magnificent, locally heritage-listed Victorian-era residence. With a storied past dating back to the late 1800s, this building has served as a grand private home, the St John the Baptist Home for Boys, and even a temporary schoolhouse. Held within the same family for over 40 years, it now awaits a masterful restoration to return it to its former glory.
Inside the Residence:
- Architectural Excellence: Soaring 3.7m ceilings, intricate cornices, ceiling roses, and stately archways supported by original pillars.
- Stately Proportions: A grand entry hall leads to two massive front bedrooms with expansive windows; one featuring a stunning character fireplace.
- Expansive Living: The floorplan flows into an open-plan kitchen with an island bench, multiple lounge areas, a formal dining room, and a dedicated games room with its own fireplace.
- Accommodation: Totaling five bedrooms plus a walk-in robe and ensuite to the master, offering the scale required for a premier family residence or prestigious commercial headquarters (STCC).
Versatile Zoning & Future Use:
The property's heritage status unlocks unique planning pathways. Current development policies suggest the potential for commercial rezoning of the heritage building, while the substantial surrounding land remains a prime candidate for residential development (STCC). This allows for a harmonious blend of old-world charm and modern density, maximizing the yield of this rare "triple-threat" location.
Location Highlights:
- Halfway Point: Sitiuated approx 5km from both the Adelaide CBD and the beach.
- Connectivity: Moments from Adelaide Airport, IKEA, and the Harbor Town precinct.
- Lifestyle: Easy access to the Linear Park trail, elite private schooling, and the burgeoning cafe culture of the West.
