A place to build, to breathe, to belong.
Set high above the city in one of the Adelaide Hills' most tightly held enclaves, this near-5000sqm parcel offers a rare opportunity: to create a home that is both sanctuary and statement. A place where the land holds memory, the trees return, and the views stretch all the way to the sea.
Framed by Giles Conservation Park and the property's own regenerating bushland, the allotment feels both expansive and protected - a horizon line uninterrupted by neighbours, with a backdrop that can never be built out. From its elevated position, light moves across the valley in long, golden strokes, while glimpses of ocean flickering on the horizon.
A gently contoured section near the top unfolds into a broader slope - inviting architectural expression that embraces the landscape. Here, a home can emerge in quiet dialogue with its surroundings, shaped by sunlight, shade, and view.
This land carries legacy. Recently subdivided from a long-held family-owned cherry orchard, it is one of only two new releases in decades - a generational shift in a deeply rooted landscape. In recent years, more than 400 native trees and grasses have been planted across the lower slope by the current owners, forming part of a multi-year regeneration project inspired by the neighbouring park.
In summer, the property's cherry trees offer a sweet reminder of the land's history - with some 30 mature trees remaining productive. The shared driveway has been thoughtfully constructed to ensure ease of access, mirroring the design standard of the neighbouring residence - an architecturally resolved home that integrates seamlessly with the natural setting.
Located just 10 minutes from Magill and 20 minutes from the CBD, Norton Summit offers a rare blend of stillness and connection. With walking trails, cool-climate wineries, and the beloved Scenic Hotel within walking distance, life here moves to the rhythm of the seasons. Zoned to nearby Norton Summit Primary School and immersed in nature, this allotment offers the space and spirit for a considered future.
