Sam Doman and Charles Hay of Ray White Tea Tree Gully are thrilled to showcase this outstanding property, which is one of Houghton’s oldest and most recognisable homes.

One of the first houses in the region would have been the original two-bedroom cottage, which was constructed in 1847. Later, in 1920, a spectacular stone-fronted two-story home was constructed next to the original cottage, and the property came to be known as “Rockville.” This stunning, spacious property is 378 square metres in size and is situated in the centre of Houghton on over 5,300 square metres of land (approximately).

The opportunity to live at one of the most prominent residences in the Adelaide Hills will be offered to the winning bidder when “Rockville” is auctioned off.

A much-loved and highly sought-after location between Houghton Square and the Historic Houghton, Inglewood and Hermitage Memorial Park as well as the Soldiers Memorial Walking Trail meandering around the front gardens of the property, give the owners a truly, beautiful and unique setting to pay respects while also giving them the opportunity to look out and view this wonderful space all year round, as if it were their own.

Some of this open space has been maintained and used by Rockville’s current owners for many, many years. My children and other local Inglewood Inn Social Club members have occasionally used it for Easter egg hunts, BBQs and other activities. This area essentially doubles the amount of land that is usable and no one will ever be permitted to build out in front of what is undoubtedly one of the most magnificent and majestic homes that Houghton has ever built.

The main residence’s downstairs features gorgeous hardwood floors throughout, lofty ceilings and elaborate cornices and a sizable eat-in kitchen with marble countertops and several cabinets. This house offers multiple living spaces that you may utilise anyway you like, as well as additional bedrooms if you so choose and what could be considered a second lounge room that is now being used as a sewing room. The downstairs area is completed by a sizable under-stair office, a family bathroom, a breezeway to the backyard and numerous additional storage cabinets.

There are four enormous bedrooms upstairs, the main of which has an ensuite. Additionally, another family bathroom, large lounge with a return balcony that almost completely surrounds the house, providing the ideal spot to sit and read a book in the sun on the north side.

But hold on. There is more!

This house features one of the last original cottages still remaining on the property that would be ideal for an AirBnB, giving additional income and or used for guests and overseas visitors.
The original cottage, constructed in 1847, features a large living area with a wood stove and split air conditioning, a master bedroom and a second, smaller room perfect for an office, kitchenette, bathroom and laundry.

Since this residence offers space for 4 cars to park under cover, car enthusiasts are likely to line up! There is plenty of room for toys and tools! With the large party room/barn, cosy wood-burning fireplace, third kitchen and 4th toilet. This space is ideal for additional storage, collectable cars, bikes, and an amazing workshop that has seen many, party, a few weddings and many sewing workshops.
