The site is residential land located at 35 Captain Sturt Road on Hindmarsh Island, South Australia. It is listed as a land parcel with the price available on request from the agent.
The property lies roughly 1.3 km from the Hindmarsh Island Bridge – the location of the historic bridge controversy. The bridge provides the main road link between the island and Goolwa on the mainland.
Several boat ramps are situated around the island, including the Captain Sturt Parade and Marina ramps, giving easy access to the Murray River and Gulf. The Hindmarsh Island Caravan Park, Lookout/Down‑Hill Track and the nearby marina (about 1.5 km away) offer camping, fishing and cycling opportunities, while dolphin sightings are common within 1.5 km of the property.
Hindmarsh Island enjoys a Mediterranean climate similar to Adelaide, with hot, dry summers and mild, cool winters. This makes outdoor activities such as boating and hiking pleasant for most of the year.
The island was first visited by Captain Charles Sturt, who used its high point to sight the Murray Mouth in 1830. Later, the area became notable for the 2001 opening of the Hindmarsh Island Bridge and the associated cultural controversy involving the Ngarrindjeri people.
The island supports a range of native species, including kangaroos in the forested grasslands, blue‑tongue lizards among pine needles, and Australian white ibis along the coastline. Birdwatchers can also spot magpies, barn owls and the occasional purple swamphen near reeds and ponds.
Goolwa railway station is about 1.6 km away, providing train services to Adelaide and beyond. In addition, Goolwa Boat Harbour (≈1.6 km) offers ferry and boat access, and the Hindmarsh Island bridge connects directly to the Goolwa road network.
