Room to spread out at Hampton Hill in the Adelaide Hills

Life in the Adelaide Hills tends to follow the seasons. The hills roll, the pace slows, and the city feels further away than the drive suggests.

About Hampton Hill, Littlehampton

Just outside the township of Littlehampton, Hampton Hill is a limited release of 15 lifestyle blocks, each in excess of four acres. The scale is the point of difference, offering enough room for a substantial home alongside space to garden, keep animals or simply leave open.

The blocks gently slope, a layout intended to make the most of views and privacy across the estate. Each comes with a wide frontage, sealed road access and services, and the frontages are finished with timber post-and-rail fencing, giving the streetscape a consistent, rural character from the outset.

The blocks lend themselves to a range of uses, from a large family homestead to a hobby farm, extensive gardens or equestrian pursuits.

The estate has been masterplanned to preserve the natural landscape while keeping streetscapes cohesive and privacy respected. The intention is a neighbourhood of like-minded residents, where there is room for grandchildren to run and neighbours still meet at the fence line.

Littlehampton's village is moments away, and Mount Barker, Nairne and Hahndorf are all close by. Between them, residents have access to schools, health services and shops, along with the farmers markets, boutique wineries and artisan stores the Hills are known for.

For trips into the city, the South Eastern Freeway is only minutes from the estate, and Adelaide is around 30 minutes away.

Sarah Homes

Sarah Homes has been building homes for the South Australian lifestyle since 1961. Its designs centre on space, natural light and open plan living, with generous windows and wide sliding doors.

The builder works with buyers to suit a design to its setting, taking in established trees, rock outcrops and views, and advises on orienting the home to capture the sun. On sloping blocks, it balances excavation and elevation to shape the home’s character.

Sarah Homes offers more than 50 designs that can be adjusted to suit each buyer, and it is a popular choice for those building a coastal or country escape.

Hickinbotham Homes

Hickinbotham Homes has been building since 1954 and is South Australia’s largest and longest-established building group. The family-owned builder has delivered more than 50,000 homes.

Its scale gives it significant buying power with suppliers, which the builder uses to keep prices down. Homes come with a 25-year structural guarantee.
