Set against a sweeping backdrop of native gums and big skies, 1702 Wellington Road delivers 43 postcard-perfect acres and a soul-filled home that puts sustainability, scale, and self-sufficiency front and centre, all just minutes from Strathalbyn and less than an hour from the CBD.
At its centre, a north facing C2002 rammed earth home stands with longevity front of mind. Solid Oregon timber beams salvaged from the historic Queen Victoria Hospital, add gravitas and character, while passive solar design, rich earth tones, and a flowing layout create a seamless harmony between indoors and out.
An open-plan living area sets the tone with soaring ceilings, a combustion fireplace, and picture and clerestory windows that flood the space with natural light and frame the landscape from every angle. Glass doors spill out to a vine-draped alfresco that channels the Mediterranean, primed for long-table lunches, golden hour cocktails, or barefoot breakfasts with the birdsong.
Wrapped in corrugated iron and bespoke timber joinery, the kitchen steps up with stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, and an island bench that invites connection and conversation.
The slumber zones ensure there's room to grow or host with ease. The main bedroom is its own private sanctuary, complete with walk-in robe and French doors that let landscape in, while a separate wing houses three more bedrooms and a one-of-a-kind family bathroom, delivering a framework that flexes to any configuration.
Outdoors, a salt-chlorinated pool, fire-pit, native gardens, and raised veggie beds create your everyday sanctuary, with six 22,000L rainwater tanks, a reliable bore, reed septic system, and full solar setup (with battery storage and solar hot water) keeping your footprint light and your future self-sufficient.
Beyond the homestead, the landscape unfolds into a canvas of lifestyle potential. Seven fenced paddocks, a 21m round yard with sand base, two stables, day yards, and steel cattle yards set you up for horses or livestock. Previously used for horse breeding, cattle raising and hay growing, the acreage lends itself to farming or regenerative agriculture, with a 5-bay implement shed and enclosed storage ready when you are.
Whether you're dreaming of boutique farm stays, regenerative grazing, or simply raising a family with room to roam, there's not just flexibility to live exactly how you want, but the infrastructure to support it.
Hidden away but never far from it all, you're just minutes from Strathalbyn's cafes, sports clubs, schools, and boutique stores, and perfectly placed for weekends spent winery-hopping through Langhorne Creek or exploring the best of the Hills.
Settle in, spread out, and savour heaven is a place on earth.
