Discover the charm and history of Louden Hill, a remarkable return verandah villa set on 26 acres of highly fertile O.B. Flat land. Constructed from iconic Mount Gambier stone, this magnificent five-bedroom, two-bathroom character home combines historic elegance with modern comforts-all while offering sweeping 360-degree views of the countryside and the landmark Centenary Tower.
Dating back to 1867, this stately residence was built by the pioneering Sinclair family and stands as a tribute to timeless craftsmanship. Inside, the home exudes old-world charm with soaring 13-foot ceilings, polished timber floors, and fireplaces in all four spacious downstairs bedrooms, as well as the study. While the fireplaces add significant character and potential for future use, they have not been used in some time and may require inspection prior to operation.
The kitchen features a large gas cooktop, electric oven, and walk-in pantry. The cabinetry is solid timber, maintaining a warm and natural aesthetic that compliments the home's heritage style. A sun-drenched easterly sunroom provides a tranquil space to enjoy morning light, while the adjacent utility room has been refurbished and offers ample bench and cupboard space.
Select areas of the home have been freshly painted, including the sunroom, utility room, kitchen feature wall, and main bedroom. Other rooms retain their original finishes, offering scope for personalisation.
Outdoors, the property is equally impressive. Stroll through beautifully established English-style gardens dotted with ornamental trees dating back to the early 1900s. Alongside an orchard of apples, pears, lemons, and kiwi fruit. Numerous outbuildings include a chicken coop, hothouse, a six-stand stone shed (once a working dairy and stables), and a powered double garage with concrete flooring and roller doors.
For year-round enjoyment, there's an enclosed swimming pool, change rooms, and an additional toilet.
The land is divided into six well-fenced paddocks, five of which are serviced by troughs. A small set of timber cattle yards and loading ramps complete the setup, making the property ideal for hobby farming or livestock. A cellar beneath the home, once used as a cold room in past generations, presents a fantastic opportunity to create a dedicated wine cellar.
Positioned just 5 km from Mount Gambier and a short drive to Port MacDonnell, this is a rare chance to own a piece of the region's rich heritage, offering peace, productivity, and panoramic views in equal measure.
