A bay-windowed villa that holds status as one of the original Rankine family Braemar homes, now thoughtfully and thoroughly upscaled into a one-of-kind homestead - 1405 Paris Creek Road is the ultimate Strathalbyn treasure.
C1900 character and contemporary lifestyle are layered into a home designed to be lived in, not just preserved. Four beautifully proportioned bedrooms sit alongside a bay-windowed formal lounge, all boasting decorative fireplaces and their own unique features, while downstairs, a rich stone cellar and office could easily flex as a tasting room or creative retreat.
The original footprint then gives way to a thoughtful extension that brings the 21st century in with open arms. A central kitchen is part showpiece, part workhorse: stainless steel benches, timber cabinetry, and industrial-grade appliances sit alongside a combustion burner that fills the space with warmth at atmosphere. Walls of glass line an adjoining dining area, framing sweeping views that invite you to linger morning, noon, and night.
A main bedroom suite wraps around an internal courtyard, complete with walk-in robe and resort-style ensuite with freestanding bath, while an additional family bathroom and oversized laundry add practicality without compromise.
Outdoors, it's a choose-your-own-adventure, whether it's summers spent in the Tuscan-style inground pool and adjoining studio, entertaining by the fire pit terrace or beneath the fig tree, pottering and planting amongst an enviable sweep of curated gardens and repurposed pond, or simply a quiet morning coffee on the wraparound veranda. Stretching over an acre, a series of extensive versatile outbuildings, including shearing shed, barn, and garaging, stand primed for any venture.
Positioned seconds from Strathalbyn's community, schools, shops, eateries, and wineries, with Fleurieu Peninsula beaches 30 minutes south and Adelaide CBD 45 minutes north, this home blends history, lifestyle, and opportunity. Whether it's a long-awaited tree change, or even a hospitality/accommodation concept (STCC), the possibilities are endless.
A home that wears its past with pride, while pointing toward a bright tomorrow – you'll never find another like this.
