FOR SALE
Mistletoe Block is a rare opportunity to own an exquisite 27-acre (11-hectare) hillside property, an environmental, project-based sanctuary with a beautifully crafted off-grid 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home. Designed and built in 2014 by artists John and Dora Dallwitz, the property is just minutes from the popular Normanville, Carrickalinga, and Lady Bay beaches.

The home blends craftsmanship, sustainability, and comfort, featuring locally sourced redgum beams, doors, shelving, benchtops, and windowsills. Inside, two well-appointed kitchen spaces and separate living areas provide flexibility for family or guest living. Two large separate garage/studio buildings, fully lined, insulated, and powered by solar and gas, offer outstanding creative or storage potential, with secure parking for up to four vehicles. A steel-framed carport accommodates an additional two.

Superbly built to exceed CFS fire safety standards, the house uses handmade Timbercrete blocks, steel-lined eaves, fire/security shutters, and a surrounding sprinkler system for peace of mind. Double-glazed, toughened glass windows capture sweeping views over native bush, rolling hills, and the sea. The north-facing design maximises passive heating and cooling, with ceiling fans throughout, a Nectre slow-combustion wood heater, and overhanging eaves for summer shade. Large gutters and downpipes channel rainwater to 120,000 litres of storage tanks, providing gravity-fed, clean water year-round. Energy comes from a 6.3 kW standalone solar system with Honda generator backup, complemented by LPG gas for cooking and solar hot water boost.

On the Fleurieu Peninsula, just 1 hour 20 minutes from Adelaide CBD and less than 10 minutes from shops and services, the property is surrounded by intact remnant bush and farmland. Over the years, John and Dora have devoted themselves to weed eradication, replanting, and wildlife preservation, creating a thriving habitat for native flora, fauna, and abundant birdlife. The acclaimed heritage listed property has been successful in achieving substantial funding assistance for these conservation activities.

This is more than a home — it’s a conservation legacy waiting for the next custodians: a younger family ready to embrace the eco-advantages, lifestyle rewards, and ongoing stewardship of this remarkable property.

Detailed information about the land and photo monitoring of the flora and fauna, conservation work and building construction is available upon request.
