366 Gorge Road, Athelstone SA 5076, Australia
Athelstone primarily features contemporary houses built from the 1970s onward, alongside some older dwellings such as Californian bungalows with corrugated iron or stone exteriors. The mix reflects several stages of development across the suburb.
The property is approximately 10 km northeast of Adelaide’s CBD, making it a short drive into the city while still enjoying a leafy suburb setting.
Gorge Road is the main arterial road that runs west‑east through Athelstone, passing directly by 366 Gorge Road and linking the suburb to the Adelaide Hills and the Kangaroo Creek Dam gorge.
The River Torrens borders Athelstone, and Fifth Creek – a tributary of the Torrens – runs through the suburb and can experience intermittent flooding in late spring (October‑December).
Within about 1–2 km you’ll find several green spaces, including Athelstone Recreation Reserve (0.8 km), Wadmore Park (1.2 km), Torrens Linear Park (1.5 km), and Black Hill Conservation Park (1.4 km). These areas offer walking trails, sports fields and natural scenery.
Athelstone was established in the 19th century, originally a village along the River Torrens, and became part of suburban Adelaide in the latter half of the 20th century. It has a heritage of market gardening and retains historic landmarks such as the former Athelstone mill and several nature reserves.
