Directions: Enter Lode Road via Burns Road only

Set amongst a breathtaking sweep of rolling paddocks and endless skies, 3 Lode Road delivers the kind of lifestyle most only dream about - refined, restorative, and deeply connected to the land around it.

Beyond the orchard-lined drive, this bright home delivers country living with a modern edge. A picture-perfect brick façade gives way to interiors where high ceilings, oversized double glazed windows, timber-look floors, and unlimited natural light create an immediate sense of calm.

Living zones layer beautifully. A formal lounge is warmed by a combustion fireplace for a cosy retreat through the cooler months, while a fluid central family area brings everyone together for daily routines and entertaining alike.

At its heart, the kitchen delivers both beauty and backbone, layering stone benchtops, KitKat tiling, and gold hardware over high end appliances. A walk-in pantry keeps everything streamlined behind the scenes, while a wide island draws in conversation, coffee, and company with effortless flow.

Accommodation is equally generous. The main suite offers a private sanctuary complete with dressing room and luxe ensuite, while four additional bedrooms and two further bathrooms provide flexibility for growing families, guests, multigenerational living, or work-from-home space.

Outside, a sweeping veranda extends the living footprint outdoors and frames views to Lake Alexandrina, creating the perfect perch for long lunches and evenings spent watching the landscape shift through every season.

Beyond, the acreage reveals itself in layers of fully fenced paddocks managed with regenerative farming practices. Extensive infrastructure, including dams, pumps, rainwater storage, header tanks, and an underground reticulation network ensure the property is every bit as practical as it is picturesque. Whether your plans involve livestock, horses, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with owning your own piece of countryside, the groundwork has already been laid.

And while the setting feels wonderfully removed, convenience remains close at hand. Meadows, Macclesfield, and Strathalbyn are all within easy reach for cafés, schools, and daily essentials, while the wineries and cellar doors of the Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu region provide plenty of reason to explore. When city commitments call, the CBD sits approximately an hour away via the Southeastern Freeway.

Private, picturesque, and beautifully prepared for whatever chapter comes next, this is country living with room to dream bigger.
