Highland Valley

38 Vale Road

Etched into 24 acres of gently rolling Highland Valley country, this holding is a retreat in every sense – a natural dam at its heart, sweeping views across the hills, and the freedom to shape a lifestyle that feels both private and expansive. Perfectly placed between Mount Barker and Strathalbyn, it captures the quiet rhythm of rural living without losing touch with town convenience.

The main home, built of mud brick and grounded by polished slate floors, carries an earthy beauty that belongs to the land itself. A soaring raked timber ceiling crowns the open-plan living and kitchen, where light filters through and warmth lingers. Step down into the family room and out through three sets of timber French doors, where a wide verandah frames the countryside with effortless grace. With three restful bedrooms, a solar hot water bathroom, dual toilets, and a generous laundry, the home is made for comfort, simplicity, and connection to its natural surrounds.

Set apart, a self-sufficient studio makes its own statement. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull in the rolling hills, while open-plan living, dining and kitchen flow around a slow combustion fireplace.A private bedroom adjoins an ensuite finished with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a rainfall shower, all wrapped in decking that drinks in views of the dam and beyond. It is a retreat within a retreat – a place for guests, extended family, or your own creative hideaway, with flexibility to serve as a fourth bedroom or workspace.

The land is as purposeful as it is picturesque. Five paddocks and a house block with quality fencing, a 40 x 20 dressage arena, three horse yards, and an implement shed set the scene for equestrian or stock pursuits. Multiple rainwater tanks plumbed to the home, a 6.6kW solar system, and dam-fed pumping for the gardens ensure independence and sustainability, while a chook shed and fruit trees complete the country lifestyle.

Privately tucked away yet just 15 minutes from Mount Barker, this is more than a property. It is an acreage lifestyle of rare scope – where the land, the views, and the dwellings unite to create something truly remarkable.
