‘Lyndhurst’ – A once-in-a-generation heritage estate

Steeped in history and beautifully restored, ‘Lyndhurst’ is the original Paradise farm homestead, c.1888. Built by Joseph Ind, who named the residence after an estate near his hometown of Tetbury, England, this exceptional property has evolved over more than 160 years into one of Adelaide’s most distinguished heritage homes.

The original residence was thoughtfully expanded over successive decades, most notably by Joseph’s son, architect George Ind, whose travels through Italy inspired elegant European influences including tessellated chimney detailing, decorative wrought ironwork and period architectural embellishments. A later addition by renowned designer Pauline Hurren seamlessly introduced a light-filled conservatory, luxurious master suite and ensuite, all crafted in harmony with the home’s heritage character.

Lovingly held by the same family for over three decades, Lyndhurst has undergone an exceptional restoration using traditional craftsmanship, including lath-and-plaster ceilings, bespoke hand-installed cornices and handmade chimney bricks. During restoration, the original builder’s good luck shoe was uncovered and is now proudly displayed within the home.

The magnificent grounds have been thoughtfully designed as a series of garden rooms by acclaimed landscape designer David Baptiste. Formal lawns, elegant statuary, a working armillary sphere celebrating the property’s orchard heritage, shaded entertaining spaces and resort-style pool gardens create an extraordinary setting for both grand occasions and relaxed family living. The estate has hosted weddings, garden parties, Open Garden Scheme events and Campbelltown Council functions, reflecting its standing within the local community.

Additional features include:

• Grand ballroom-sized dining room, originally designed and used as a ballroom.
• Distinctive period smoking door opening from the sitting room to the verandah.
• Extensive wine cellar with racking for approximately 240 bottles and original staircase access preserved beneath the kitchen.
• Ducted air conditioning throughout, underfloor heating to the conservatory and air conditioning to the darkroom.
• Double garage with workshop facilities, separate machinery shed and dedicated potting house/propagation area.
• Bore water and roof water harvesting into the aquifer for sustainable garden irrigation.
• Dual access via Urban Avenue and the private Strachan Lane.
• Moments from Linear Park and surrounded by the area’s finest amenities.

A rare opportunity to acquire one of Paradise’s most historically significant estates, where timeless architecture, extraordinary gardens and enduring family heritage combine to create a truly remarkable lifestyle offering.
