Every property has a story to tell. This one made history.
Sprawling across 60 glorious acres of Myponga countryside, 25 Higgs Road is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of cultural history, embrace a lifestyle without limits, and write the next chapter of a property offered to the market for the first time in nearly 50 years.
And its place in music history is nothing short of legendary.
In 1971, more than 15,000 people descended upon this very site for the legendary Myponga Pop Festival, a celebration that helped shape Australia's emerging rock music scene. Black Sabbath made their Australian debut, a young Bon Scott took to the stage with Fraternity, and Daddy Cool performed their soon-to-be-iconic Eagle Rock, with footage from the festival immortalised in the song's music video.
The echoes remain. A peace sign etched into an original window screen, the old woodshed where Bon Scott was famously photographed with a wheelbarrow, and a stone monument commemorating the festival's 50th anniversary - tangible reminders of three extraordinary days that left their mark on Australian music history.
A world away from the noise of its legendary past, today the property is a picture of rural tranquillity. Cross the gate and the world falls away, replaced by rolling paddocks, established greenery, and the kind of peace that only comes with wide-open space.
At the heart of it all, a C1945 homestead carries its own sense of nostalgia. A welcoming front lounge gathers around a brick fireplace, with a formal dining room opposite, while a sit-in kitchen brings the warmth with a combustion burner and substantial walk-in pantry.
Three bedrooms offer room to retreat, including a rear main bedroom with an adjoining annex ready to become a study, nursery, or dressing room. A central bathroom, separate laundry with original triple trough and practical mudroom keep routines running.
Outside, the lifestyle takes on a whole new dimension.
Beautifully established, irrigated gardens, fruit trees, and veggie beds wrap the homestead in greenery, setting the scene for childhood adventures, long lunches, and afternoons that refuse to end. Greenhouses, outbuildings, and extensive shedding provide plenty of scope for hobbies, machinery, and everything in between.
Beyond the house yard, almost 60 acres unfold in spectacular fashion. Fully fenced paddocks, water infrastructure, a stock ramp, and the Myponga River winding through the landscape set the scene for horses, livestock, hobby farming, agistment, or simply the luxury of having room to roam.
All while Myponga's cafés, bakery, school, and everyday essentials are just minutes from your gate, with the Fleurieu Peninsula's beaches, wineries, and country townships ready to explore.
But perhaps the greatest drawcard is what comes next.
Preserve the homestead's country soul, restore, reimagine, extend, start again, explore the potential for a new dream home elsewhere on the land, build a hobby farm, create a rural retreat, or perhaps take inspiration from the legends who came before and dream up a music festival of your own (all STCC) - the future is entirely yours to write.
Whatever your vision, 25 Higgs Road is ready for its encore.
