Yucanta Park is a magnificent 1925 homestead where vintage elegance meets thoughtful modern comfort. From the moment you step inside, intricate ceilings, ornate cornicing, and grand proportions transport you to another era of craftsmanship and grace.

The main living room showcases classic leather Chesterfields, creating a cosy setting for gathering and movie nights. Toward the rear of the home, a second living area features a wood fire — perfect for cosy Adelaide Hills evenings. In beautiful contrast to the home’s heritage detailing, the kitchen is fresh, modern and highly functional, featuring sleek finishes and generous bench space. The large formal dining room connects via a traditional servery hutch, blending old-world charm with everyday practicality. (Note: The fireplace in the first living room is not operational.)

Outside, wide verandahs wrap around the home, offering multiple spaces to dine, relax and take in the peaceful garden surrounds. The private tennis court adds a classic estate feel — perfect for friendly afternoon matches before gathering for drinks on the verandah. Established gardens and open lawns provide space for children to explore within the fenced grounds.

Five generous bedrooms line the grand hallway, each with its own personality and period character. The primary bedroom features a king bed beneath a striking pressed tin ceiling, while the remaining rooms offer queen and double configurations, making the home ideal for larger families or groups. They share one spacious bathroom with a bath and shower combination, while laundry facilities add to your everyday convenience.

Set within a working equestrian estate, you may see horses grazing beyond the garden fence, adding to the authentic country atmosphere. Ample parking is available in the driveway.
