47 Finlay Road

Positioned high on the hilltop on the western side of the Stuart Highway, 47 Finlay Road, Adelaide River offers a unique blend of Territory lifestyle, space, history, and functionality on an impressive 8,690m² allotment (approximately 0.87 hectares or 2.15 acres). Rich in local history, the property is recognised as the original Overland Telegraph Line residence, giving this remarkable holding a story and character rarely found in today's market. The solidly constructed main residence is built from double brick with rendered concrete walls, offering durability and comfort year-round. Inside, the home features four bedrooms, with one currently utilised as an entertainment room, along with spacious open-plan living, dining, and entertaining areas designed for relaxed Territory living. A standout feature of the home is the stylish newly renovated kitchen, complete with island bench and complemented by new flooring throughout the residence, creating a fresh and modern feel. Outside, the elevated position captures cooling breezes and sweeping views across the surrounding area. The front undercover verandah provides the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the peaceful rural setting, while the above-ground swimming pool with adjoining deck offers a great place to cool off during the warmer months. Infrastructure on the property is extensive and highly practical. A large concrete-floored four-bay shed with lockable storage area provides secure parking for up to five vehicles and is equipped with 3-phase power. Additional improvements include three 40-foot ATCO demountables connected via a covered breezeway, offering further accommodation or storage potential. Some repairs required for the atcos to become liveable again. The property also features a vermin-proof ringlock fenced house yard, making it well suited for families, pets, or those seeking a secure rural lifestyle. Combining history, elevation, space, and excellent infrastructure, this is a rare opportunity to secure a unique rural holding in the heart of Adelaide River.
