135 Weymouth Road, Coromandel East, SA 5157

Privately positioned within 10 glorious acres of stunning native bushland in Coromandel East, this extraordinary treehouse retreat is a rare ecological sanctuary and an opportunity to experience the sense of place, purpose and belonging that comes with custodianship of an ancient native landscape.

Surrounded by towering gums, abundant birdlife and an extraordinary sense of space and privacy, this is a place to breathe deeply, slow down and reconnect with nature. For 40 years, a commitment to conservation and thoughtful stewardship has protected this remarkable natural sanctuary, creating a rare legacy that can now be continued by its next custodian.

From almost every beautifully bright and serene room in this remarkable home, the landscape becomes part of the experience. Skylights draw radiant sunlight into the home, while expansive windows frame ever-changing views across the breathtaking valley and soaring 4.5-metre raked ceilings add an exceptional sense of space and craftsmanship.

The heart of the home is a stunning open-plan living space adjoining a bright, beautifully appointed kitchen, designed in a calming hue of the softest mint green and made for inspired culinary creations, with induction cooking and quality Miele appliances.
From here, doors open onto a tranquil, private deck that is beautifully sheltered from the northerly winds. From this ideal vantage point, this breathtaking property that includes everything the eye can see, can be surveyed.

In winter, the home becomes warm and welcoming, with luxurious new carpet and a combustion fireplace creating the perfect, cosy retreat from the elements. Come summer, ceiling fans, a split system air conditioner, cooling breezes and the lush garden surroundings transform the home into something altogether different, a private wilderness where the doors can be opened up and nature invited inside.

The accommodation is wonderfully flexible, offering three generous bedrooms plus a second living area/studio or fourth bedroom. The enormous main bedroom is a true retreat, complete with walk-in robe, ensuite and sliding doors opening onto the deck. Wake to the sounds of native birds, step outside and let the fragrant perfume of the surrounding native flowers and trees drift through the morning air.

The inspiring studio, or potential fourth bedroom, occupies a particularly magical position. Surrounded by glass windows and filled with natural light, it is a space designed to awaken the senses and encourage creativity, whether used as a home office, artist's studio, teenage retreat or additional bedroom.

The second bedroom overlooks the alfresco entertaining area and beautifully established shade house, where lilies and agapanthus flourish around an elegant maple tree, creating a tropical oasis that truly replenishes the senses.

Downstairs, a private deck provides yet another place for quiet contemplation, accompanied by an additional bedroom, mud room, traditional Finnish steam sauna and a wine cellar or generous storage room.

A Life Connected to the Land

Outside, the experience is every bit as extraordinary.
Five continuous natural springs, a creek, dam and substantial water tank support the home and gardens. Natural spring water provides a pure and refreshing source for cooking, drinking and washing, while a digital irrigation system drawing from the creek supports maintenance of the established grounds.

The land itself is a haven for native wildlife. Throughout the valley, majestic heritage gums provide shelter for over 70 species of birds, while black cockatoos and eagles glide across the clear blue skies and ring-tailed possums, koalas, kangaroos, bettongs, wallabies and echidnas safely thrive and flourish.

Such is the significance of this thriving natural environment, that the property has been thoughtfully fenced by Dr John Wamsley, to protect both the land and its native and endangered inhabitants.

For those who love an active outdoor lifestyle, a half-court tennis court, perfectly positioned within the exuberant natural surrounds promises hours of year-round entertainment.
And for those who love to grow and produce, the established orchard provides an abundance of seasonal produce including figs, loquats, mulberries, apples, oranges, pears, plums, limes, limequats, guavas, quince and more.
Developed vegetable beds and a garden bright with Easter lilies and daisies add colour and delicious organic produce throughout the seasons.

There is a wonderful feeling of self-sufficiency here, a place where the land thrives and provides, the native gardens flourish and the living tapestry of native trees, flora and wildlife interweave in beautiful harmony.

Despite the incredible privacy of the property and the unshakably tranquil feeling that you are truly distanced from the noise, traffic and pace of the world, this divine retreat is only minutes from everything you need. With Blackwood and Belair only a short drive away, including the lovely Coromandel Primary, Blackwood Highschool and St Johns Grammar, and the CBD a commutable 30 minutes away, this is a home that keeps you connected to the world as much as it keeps you protected from it.

A Private Wilderness

Perhaps the greatest luxury of all is custodianship over such an extraordinary piece of nature. Declared a valley of national significance, this is not just a property, but a piece of richly biodiverse landscape and the opportunity to proudly protect native vegetation and wildlife for future generations.

This is more than a home in the Adelaide Hills. It is a private enclave, a creative retreat and a rare opportunity to live in harmony with and provide much needed sanctuary to the natural world.
