BEST OFFERS CLOSE 25TH OF AUGUST AT 12.00PM (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR)
Tired of traffic, timelines, and to-do lists? At the end of a long road in Upper Sturt, 102 unspoiled acres offer the kind of rare peace most only dream about, where dawn breaks to a chorus of native birds, koalas watch from their gums, and the only thing crowding you is the trees.
Set against a breathtaking canvas of bushland, valleys, and cinematic skies, this is a lifestyle reset for those craving a deeper connection to the land. Roam your slice of heaven with kangaroos at your heels and echidnas underfoot, watch Wedge-tailed eagles soar above the treetops, share sunrises with your pets, horses, and wildlife, or soak up sunsets with a glass of Adelaide Hills wine in hand - this is not just a home; it's a habitat.
The spacious homestead is wrapped with wide verandas and shaded by deciduous trees that provide natural cooling in summer and warmth in winter, every element thoughtfully designed to keep you in harmony with the land around you.
Hand-crafted timber double doors and expansive picture windows bring in natural light and frame the ever-changing views. Four generously sized bedrooms, three distinct living areas, and two well-appointed bathrooms create a flexible layout that caters to both family life and quiet retreat. A separate, detached studio provides the perfect space for a home office, gym, or creative escape.
Two slow combustion heaters warm the home with the property's abundant firewood supply, while ducted refrigerated air-conditioning ensures comfort throughout the seasons (including in the studio). A 40-panel solar system complements the sustainable design, reducing running costs and your environmental footprint.
Just 18km from the CBD and ten minutes to Blackwood, Stirling, national parks, the freeway, and the region's best wineries, this secluded slice of the Adelaide Hills is both completely removed and wonderfully connected.
For nature lovers, adventurers, families, creatives, and anyone ready to live with the land or perhaps a perfect business site in tune with nature 'Minstead' is your chance to begin again.
