A landmark holding of extraordinary scale, character and historical significance, this remarkable c.1860s residence offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure one of the area's most distinguished homes. Originally built by renowned South Australian agricultural pioneer Charles French Folland, the property commands an incredible 1,485sqm parcel and retains a wealth of its period grandeur. Soaring ceilings, timber floors, ornate detailing and the original stone and brick coach house stand as enduring reminders of a bygone era, while the home's substantial proportions create a canvas of exceptional versatility.
Beyond the symmetrical return verandahs, a sprawling eight-bedroom footprint unfolds. Lofty bay-windowed rooms provide flexibility for large families, multi-generational living or those seeking an abundance of space to work, create and entertain. Formal lounge and dining rooms speak to the home's heritage pedigree, while a spacious kitchen and casual meals bring contemporary functionality into the mix. Two bathrooms, practical service areas and a series of additional rooms on the lower level further expand the possibilities, allowing the home to adapt to changing needs or ambitious intentions.
Outside, the scope continues to grow. A slate-tiled courtyard and the coach house's separate kitchen create a unique entertaining setting rich with character, while beyond the original stone wall, a sun-splashed swimming pool adds another layer of lifestyle appeal. Expansive front lawns, leafy feature trees and established greenery provide privacy and tranquillity for kids to play and pets to roam. Beautifully preserved yet brimming with potential to further enhance, restore or reimagine, this is a property where history, landholding and future opportunity converge in spectacular fashion.
