Where Luxury, Landscape, and Legacy Converge

Welcome to Songlines Station, a truly rare and extraordinary opportunity to own one of  Australia's most remarkable pieces of real estate. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Adelaide's world-class coastline, this 670 acres of breathtaking coastal land enjoys uninterrupted views over Aldinga Bay, stretching south out to Kangaroo Island on a clear day, and north toward Adelaide, whose lights twinkle on a clear night. An unmatched blend of modern living, rich biodiversity, and regenerative land stewardship.

From its breathtaking cliff-lined coast to its ancient inland gullies and golden plains, Songlines Station is not just a home – it's a living legacy for challenged futures.

THE LAND

Spanning approximately 670 acres across three titles, with Lot 3 comprising 650 acres, Songlines Station is a property of rare scale and diversity. Its landscapes transition from rugged red coastal cliffs overlooking the aqua blue seascape of Aldinga Bay, through golden native grasslands, and into the ancient pink gum forests and gully systems filled with 300-year-old melaleucas.

This land teems with native life, including kangaroos, echidnas, rosellas, cockatoos, and other wildlife, co-existing with sustainably grazed sheep. With a rich ecological heritage and sweeping, uninterrupted views over the Gulf St Vincent, it's a place of peace, power, and profound beauty.

THE RESIDENTIAL COMPOUND

Anchoring the property is a quintessential Aussie rural home, with extensive covered Verandahs, offering 21st century living without compromising connection to the surrounding environment. The main house features four bedrooms, each with bathroom, built-in robes, and direct access to the expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area-crafted for comfort, functionality, and breathtaking views.

Outdoors, a plunge pool  sits suspended amid a sweeping natural deck that hovers above the landscape looking out to the sea, offering a surreal experience: relax as you watch waves roll in, ships traverse the horizon, kangaroos graze, and eagles soar overhead. This connection to nature is not just visual-it's deeply felt.

Flanking the main home are two self-contained guest units, each with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, living space, and private deck-perfect for hosting visitors or operating a boutique retreat.

A hillside cabin nestled among the trees offers a secluded, soulful escape. With an outdoor bath set into nature, guests are immersed in the stillness and serenity of the land-like stepping into a scene from The Man from Snowy River, The Water Diviner or Gallipoli (the latter two having been filmed here. 

ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE

• 6-car garage with ample space for farm vehicles and equipment, caravans, boats, or oversized vehicles
• Additional mudroom and bathroom facilities
• Upgraded tracks and internal roads for improved access across the property
• Multiple water sources, including two natural spring-fed dams

ETHOS & RESTORATION

When Songlines Station Pty Ltd assumed custodianship of this ancient land in 2013, it had already suffered from more than a century of heavy grazing. In partnership with state and local government, nonprofit organisations, and volunteers, the current stewards have dedicated the past 12 years to ecological rehabilitation and restoration.

Key initiatives have included:
• Installation of over 50 km of fencing to control grazing and protect remnant vegetation
• Revegetation with nearly 30,000 indigenous plants, focused on strategic ecological zones
• Collaboration with Trees for Life, Yankalilla Council, and SA Natural Resources Management and local volunteers
• Eradication of noxious weeds and pests
• Soil monitoring and efforts to build carbon and reduce phosphorus levels
• Sustainable grazing practices to revive soil and reduce erosion

This isn't just land management-it's a regenerative mission for the future of both land and sea, with a deep commitment to restoring the land, along with the seagrass beds and marine ecosystems of Aldinga Bay below, and on out the Gulf.

POTENTIAL & PURPOSE

With its scale, biodiversity, and existing infrastructure, Songlines Station is well-positioned for a multiplicity of rural, agricultural, eco-tourism, or conservation-based ventures. The soils, under proper management, have potential for vineyards, orchards, or other specialty crops that align with the long-term health of both the land and the surrounding ocean.

The property is ideally suited for buyers seeking:
• A private coastal estate of rare beauty and ecological significance
• An eco-luxury retreat or wellness destination
• A working regenerative station with conservation agreements
• A multigenerational sanctuary focused on nature, sustainability, legacy and futures

IN SUMMARY

Songlines Station is more than a home or a property. It is a landscape of meaning, purpose, and beauty. It invites a new custodian-someone who values heritage, futures stewardship, and visionary living-to take part in its next chapter.

This is not just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is the chance to leave a legacy that endures well into the future.
