About this property
Step into refined country living at this 1925 homestead set within a picturesque equestrian estate in Birdwood. Rich in heritage detail yet thoughtfully updated, this rural retreat offers space, character, and modern comfort. Enjoy afternoons on the private tennis court, scenic drives through the Adelaide Hills, or visits to nearby wineries. Just minutes away, explore the iconic National Motor Museum. As night falls, unwind on the verandah and take in the calm of the surrounding countryside.
Yucanta Park is a magnificent 1925 homestead where vintage elegance meets thoughtful modern comfort. From the moment you step inside, intricate ceilings, ornate cornicing, and grand proportions transport you to another era of craftsmanship and grace. The main living room is anchored by classic leather Chesterfields, creating a warm setting for gathering or settling in for a movie night. Toward the rear, a second living area with a wood fire offers an inviting retreat for cosy evenings. In contrast to the home’s heritage character, the kitchen feels fresh, modern, and highly functional, with sleek finishes and generous bench space for easy meal preparation. The formal dining room connects via a traditional servery hutch, seamlessly blending old-world charm with everyday practicality.
Outside, wide verandahs wrap around the home, offering multiple spaces to dine, relax and take in the peaceful garden surrounds. The private tennis court adds a classic estate feel — perfect for friendly afternoon matches before gathering for drinks on the verandah. Established gardens and open lawns provide space for children to explore within the fenced grounds.
Five generous bedrooms line the grand hallway, each with its own personality and period character. The primary bedroom features a king bed beneath a striking pressed tin ceiling, while the remaining rooms offer queen and double configurations, making the home ideal for larger families or groups. They share one spacious bathroom with a bath and shower combination, while laundry facilities add to your everyday convenience.
Set within a working equestrian estate, you may see horses grazing beyond the garden fence, adding to the authentic country atmosphere. Ample parking is available in the driveway.
Please note that the fireplace in the first living room is not operational. All equestrian areas are private and strictly off limits to guests, and guests must remain within the fenced garden areas at all times.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves, including access to the tennis court. Please note that all equestrian areas are private businesses and strictly off limits to guests. Please make yourselves at home!
