One of South Australia’s most breathtaking lifestyle properties is on the market through Cullen Royle co-principals Deborah Cullen and Richard Royle, providing an opportunity to launch a new lifestyle, tourism, or agricultural chapter in a world class setting.

Set on approx. 135 coastal acres (approx. 55ha), Little Cuttlefish is a meticulously crafted eco retreat located at the eastern end of the wilderness paradise that is Kangaroo Island.

“The desire to purchase on Kangaroo Island over the past two has grown significantly with HNW clients from not only Australia but also based overseas, very much assessing KI as a destination,” Deborah Cullen told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“We have found there is a particular fondness for this amazing island, that seems to bring some very well-known identities out to inspect. It is not unusual to see them arrive by their private aircraft with friends and family, there really is no rules to where people want to live, work, and play these days. This is the perfect escape retreat!”

The property was carefully nurtured over 20 years, with current custodians, Warwick and Kate Souter, planting over 10,000 trees to restore and regenerate the natural habitat. It is newly fenced and serviced by two dams, with half the land currently dedicated to approx. 60 acres of paddocks for running sheep.

The north facing, rammed earth home is positioned atop a clifftop platform overlooking the vast waters of Backstairs Passage to the mainland, and was crafted in collaboration with SA Architects, Geoff Nairn and Tim Ross of Design Inc. 

The home is completely sustainable, featuring off grid infrastructure including solar power, and includes a 18m swimming pool, alfresco dining terrace, light filled living spaces, indoor and outdoor living, and dining spaces with a fireplace which heats the whole residence for winter comfort.

A flexible design allows a configuration of two bedrooms or one bedroom plus a library/study room, serviced by two large stylish Mediterranean inspired tiled bathrooms. The master bedroom and balcony provide the perfect location to extend the views over the bay including the well-known sunrises and sunsets of the region.

At the rear, the residence is enclosed by a walled garden (including a vegetable garden), and there’s a spacious dwelling adjacent to the garden offering potential for conversion into further standalone accommodation, or as a link to the main residence. 

There are also many sites across the property with beautiful positions and perspectives that could be used for further individual accommodation - either for private use or to capitalise on the property’s accommodation and tourism potential (STCA).
