Embracing the tranquil flow of the Onkaparinga River and sprawling across a breathtaking 8.8-hectare parcel between Bridgewater and Hahndorf, 51 Allendale Road presents a rare and remarkable opportunity to own a true slice of the Adelaide Hills. Encompassing sweeping pastures and paddocks currently used for commercial hay production, this estate delivers both a high-value landholding and elegant family residence, perfectly uniting contemporary comfort with timeless country appeal. This is the kind of property that seldom comes to market, and where lifestyle, land, and limitless potential converge.
The home itself rises to the occasion, delivering expansive family living and entertaining across two impressive levels. A grand formal lounge and dining space takes centre stage, framed by scenic views of the rolling landscape, while the adjoining open-plan kitchen brought into sparkling modern standards and spacious family domain invite easy connection and relaxed hosting.
Whether you're sharing home-cooked meals, unwinding with loved ones, or spilling out onto the decked balcony verandah, every moment here feels enriched by nature's beauty. Downstairs, a huge rumpus room extends the living potential even further, bolstered by a bar/kitchenette creating a flexible space for generous gatherings and celebrations alike.
Designed with effortless family harmony in mind, 2 lovely ground-floor bedrooms each enjoy WIRs and private ensuites, while the indulgent upstairs master suite steals the show with its own balcony views, WIR, and spa-fitted ensuite for the ultimate sanctuary. A versatile 4th bedroom or dedicated home office adds another layer of practicality, making this an estate that caters as easily to large families as it does to those seeking a dual-living dynamic or luxurious guest accommodation.
Beyond the home, the property's natural assets are simply unmatched. The Onkaparinga provides year-round water feeding the on-site dam and full rural-grade irrigation system-a dream for those with farming or horticultural ambitions. With its fertile land, serene setting, and infrastructure already supporting fodder production for horses, cattle, and sheep; stabling and room to explore equestrian pursuits - the ongoing possibilities here are truly bountiful. All just minutes from Bridgewater's charming village, moments to Stirling's iconic cafés and boutiques, and an easy 15-minute drive to the base of the Freeway; this is country living exemplified, where opportunity and lifestyle meet on the grandest of scales.
