Those hoping to enter the property market in Adelaide’s southern suburbs won’t have to wait too much longer for details about an exciting new $50m development to be revealed this weekend.
This Saturday, Highfield Living will unveil to the community its masterplan for a bold development of more than 230 bespoke, high-quality homes.
The launch event will give hopeful buyers their first look at the housing options of the project that has been more than two decades in the making.

The estate, to be developed by Oakland and built by Oakford Homes, is the last remaining undeveloped land of its kind in the area and sits about five minutes from the beach on Adelaide’s south coast, just a 30-minute drive from the city.
Rather than modifying the site to suit a plan, the development is designed around the contours of the land, with allotments to follow the natural character of the land in an effort to create a sense of cohesion with the natural environment.
The development is being billed as the perfect place for growing families to put down roots, outdoor enthusiasts, and retirees looking for low-maintenance living.

Oakland property and development general manager Graeme Gibson said there had been huge demand for well-serviced and community-focused residential areas along the south coast for many years.
“The Highfield Living Development has been many years in the making, and we’re proud to bring this final piece of the puzzle to life, offering quality homes and an exceptional lifestyle” he said.

“With a range of flexible and custom dwelling options built around central community spaces and natural surroundings, Highfield will soon welcome more people to call the south coast home.”
More than a quarter of the site will be dedicated to green space, including wetlands, a central reserve, and a playground, with the jewel in the crown being Highfield Mountain Bike Trail, designed by acclaimed sustainable trail builder TrailScapes.
This will feature a network of trails to suit riders of all skill levels.

The first of Highfield’s titles will be issued in the first quarter of next year and supports the state government’s annual goal to create 13,500 new homes.
It will generate an additional 90 jobs for the state.
The launch event will be held at the Boatshed, Hallett Cove on Saturday from 10am to noon and will give guests the first look at the masterplan and priority access to an appointment with the sales team to discuss purchasing options.
