209 Range Road

- Inspection by Appointment Only - Perched high on 'The Range' commanding breathtaking views and boasting outstanding privacy, this rare 18-acre (approx) lifestyle holding delivers an extraordinary blend of history, charm, and modern rural living. At its heart lies a charming circa 1880 stone homestead, thoughtfully extended over time to create a warm, inviting residence rich in character and timeless appeal. 209 Range Rd is ideally positioned within 10 minutes of the highly sought after Willunga township, renowned for its welcoming community feel and rich history. An abundance of local cafes, pubs and restaurants are all easily accessible, local sporting and community clubs offer great opportunity for connection, and quality local schools and medical facilities are nearby. Entering the property, native scrub and vegetation give an immediate sense of tranquility as you leave the outside world behind and beckon you further. Down the driveway your attention is drawn to the dazzling views over the Willunga basin and the ocean beyond, as you pass the home's multiple usable storage areas, horse yards, stables and utility rooms, before arriving at the parking area and main dwelling. From the moment you step into the slate-floored mudroom, the home's cosy, country ambiance is apparent. A central hallway guides you through the residence, with access to a large storage room, well-appointed laundry with additional toilet, and ultimately on to the impressive main suite. Privately positioned in a separate wing of the house, this retreat boasts a generous bedroom with a sitting area, substantial double-sided walk-in robe, beautifully finished ensuite and double French doors that open up to those sweeping views across rolling hills with the ocean in the distance a sanctuary in every sense of the word. The original homestead reveals its heritage through a combination of slate and original timber flooring, soaring ceilings, and charming period details. A traditional entry with a classic split door opens through to the main bathroom, complete with an iron clawfoot bath and separate shower. The central country-style kitchen is a focal point of the home, again perfectly positioned to take in the picturesque surrounds. Features include warm timber cabinetry, extensive drawer storage, dishwasher, wall oven, electric cooktop, and double sink. Adjacent, the formal dining room is both elegant and inviting, centred around a vintage fireplace and offering a refined space to entertain while soaking in the stunning scenery. Three additional bedrooms are housed within this section, each brimming with character. Bedroom four features a fireplace with an ornate mantle. At the front of the house, a verandah seamlessly connects the home to an exceptional outdoor entertaining area, designed for year-round enjoyment, with the capability to be fully enclosed with pull-down cafe blinds, centred around a slow combustion heater set within a large timber deck. The adjacent outdoor kitchen and bar, along with built-in pizza oven, create the ultimate setting for hosting family and friends in style! To the rear of the home, an extremely generous light-filled living room provides a relaxed everyday retreat, complete with ceiling fans, freestanding wood combustion heater and split system air conditioner. Expansive picture windows run the length of the room, maximising views of the northern panoramas. Double sliding doors open out to your own private oasis, with this space presenting an incredible opportunity to create a secondary deck and/or outdoor entertaining zone. Adding further versatility, a separate two-room studio with a freshly installed bathroom provides options for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or a professional workspace, perfect for those seeking space for extended family, or a creative business environment. An extensive solar panel system offers assistance with electricity bills, multiple rain water tanks feed the main home, and the land boasts an array of quality rural infrastructure equipped with fully functional bore water access. An electric gate with coded access adds security, while the significant recent investments in stonework restoration, drainage solutions, and salt damp protection ensure peace of mind for years to come. The property contains five fenced paddocks suitable for a variety of farming and agricultural uses, with the expansive lower paddock featuring a dam, elevated views, and power already present, allowing for potential camping/recreational use. The large natural bushland areas, fully-enclosed vegetable garden with raised beds, and productive orchard with built-in irrigation enhance the native beauty and support sustainable living. Other facilities on the property include horse stables, a dressage area, multiple enclosures for poultry or birdlife and a series of original stone sheds perfect for storage and on-site workshops. This is a truly unique opportunity to secure a landmark lifestyle property in a prestigious location atop one of South Australia's most sought after townships.
