Positioned in one of Kingscote's most picturesque hilltop settings, 16 Ewen Street presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial, master-built residence of exceptional scale and quality.
Constructed in the 1980s by one of Kangaroo Island's most respected builders, this solid brick veneer home spans an impressive footprint of over 520m²-offering the equivalent space of two to three standard homes in the area. Built with longevity in mind, from Jarrah rafters through to footings designed to accommodate a future second storey (STCC), the home stands as a testament to craftsmanship and forward planning.
Set on a generous 2,652m² allotment, the property enjoys breath taking panoramic views sweeping across Nepean Bay, Redbanks, and beyond to the distant mainland. The elevated position captures cooling sea breezes and creates a serene coastal lifestyle.
Outdoor living is a standout feature. A shaded front verandah provides the perfect setting for evening relaxation, while a substantial rotunda-positioned atop a 58,000-litre underground rainwater tank plumbed to the home-offers a unique entertaining space with spectacular outlooks. A handcrafted limestone pizza oven and a six-person spa beneath the rear verandah further enhance the home's entertaining appeal. The grounds have even hosted wedding ceremonies, with the charming garden arbour and expansive living areas accommodating large gatherings with ease.
Practicality matches lifestyle appeal, with a circular front driveway and dual street access providing off-street parking for up to nine vehicles-an exceptional feature. Additional improvements include a rear garage ideal for vehicle storage or workshop use, along with dedicated gardening, potting, and wood sheds.
Inside, the flexible floorplan caters to a wide range of uses, featuring four bedrooms plus a study (or fifth bedroom), three bathrooms, two kitchens, and garaging for three vehicles under the main roof. A slow combustion heater, ducted to the bedrooms, delivers efficient warmth, complemented by two reverse-cycle air conditioning units. The home's solid brick construction and insulation ensure year-round comfort, often requiring nothing more than a refreshing sea breeze.
Whether you're seeking a spacious family residence, a home with business potential, or an opportunity for boutique accommodation (STCC), this versatile property offers endless possibilities.
A truly unique offering in the Kangaroo Island market, 16 Ewen Street is a property of scale, substance, and distinction.
