Newenham Adelaide Hills

Newenham Adelaide Hills A special place where nature leads, community thrives, and life flows with gentle purpose. Land now selling! Newenham is not a typical housing development.

Born from vision, shaped by thoughtful design, and nurtured by a warm community, Newenham is the very essence of authentic Adelaide Hills living. Newenham is a beautiful residential address in the Adelaide Hills where nature, thoughtful design and community values combine to support the wellbeing of the whole community. We’re are creating a quality community where a resident’s health and lifestyle are nurtured and nourished in equal measure. It is a place for a prosperous, flourishing and diverse community that will delight and inspire you. From the proposed community farm and market café, to the potential wellness centre and B&B overlooking the pear orchard, we continue to look at new ways to nurture and expand our vision with those residents who choose to make Newenham home. When we were designing Newenham, we wanted to allow for plenty of natural open space. Luckily, we had a very impressive starting point: the magnificent Western Flat Creek that flows through the heart of Newenham. To give this beautiful centrepiece the breathing space it deserves, we have delivered a native vegetation corridor for flora and fauna within the creek’s natural contours. Our network of park trails connects residents to around eight hectares of sports and recreation reserves within our project, and then into the Mount Barker town centre. Our open space philosophy is also reflected in the larger allotment sizes that Newenham residents will enjoy – an average size of 700 square metres. We can proudly say that every element of Newenham is designed to support health, happiness and wellbeing, whilst sitting respectfully within the beautiful natural environment. By doing this, we hope to be recognised as a new benchmark for living in Adelaide Hills. Needless to say, we were delighted to be awarded South Australia's Best Residential Development at the 2020 UDIA (Urban Development Institute Australia) SA Awards for Excellence. Two awards were won by Newenham - Best Residential Development as well as Marketing Excellence. Both awards recognise the innovative efforts that have gone into creating a flourishing community that meets and upholds the demands of residents and the wider community. This is an outstanding achievement for Newenham, for the team delivering the project, for our residents, the home builders and contractors, but also great news for anyone considering making their home at Newenham. We invite you to come and see for yourself why Newenham is a place that you will love to call home please visit our website at newenham.com.au to find out more.

Some homes just get better with time. 🩷

From the character of the brickwork and classic roofline to the white picket fence, soft planting and all those little details, there is so much to love.

At Newenham, the homes themselves have always been integral to our vision - individual architecture, quality design and streetscapes that feel naturally at home in the Adelaide Hills.

One of our greatest joys is watching that vision come to life through the care and creativity our residents bring to their own homes.

Our Sales Centre is open Monday, Wednesday and weekends from 11am-4pm.
Take a drive, have a wander, and see what life at Newenham could look like.

Make the Most of Spring – Landscape with Local Know-How 🌸

When it comes to creating a thriving garden, shopping local makes all the difference. Adelaide Hills nurseries not only supply healthy plants but also understand the unique conditions of our region - the weather, soils, and terrain that can make or break a garden. Their expertise helps you choose plants that will truly flourish in Hills conditions.

Some of our favourites include:

✨ & Adelaide Advanced Trees – tucked away in the Adelaide Hills at Coromandel East and Cherry Gardens respectively, these nurseries are leading suppliers of native plants for councils, commercial wholesale, and the public. They also specialise in advanced native trees.

✨Karkoo Nusery – an iconic garden centre for indoor and outdoor plants, pots, and supplies. With two historic locations - the Johnston Brewery site in Oakbank (pictured) and the Mount Lofty Railway Station in Stirling - Karkoo offers a wide variety of plants with plenty of Hills charm.

✨Tupelo Grove Nusery, Mylor – a family business of more than 40 years. Most plants are grown on site, meaning low plant miles and stock already hardened to local conditions.

✨The Garden Depot, Mount Barker – closer to home, with a vast array of native plants and trees in perfect condition. Decorative pots, giftware, ponds, wicking beds, soils - they’ve got it all. The team know their plants, and there’s even a cubby and slide to keep kids entertained while you browse.

By supporting these local businesses, you’re not just investing in your garden - you’re supporting the community and keeping local knowledge alive. 🌿

Drawn to the European charm of the Adelaide Hills, Lauren and Kris found their place to call home at Newenham.

Originally from England, the couple had long loved visiting the Hills - its leafy landscapes, country villages and slower pace of life. They even chose Hahndorf for their wedding.

When it came time to build their first home, they were looking for somewhere quieter and greener, with more space around them.

A chance recommendation led them to Newenham, where they found the larger allotments and style of homes they had been searching for.

They moved into their Hamptons-inspired home in 2022 with their first baby on the way. Today, they’re a family of four, enjoying the space, greenery and community that first drew them here.

And Lauren’s three words for life at Newenham?

“Friendly, green and beautiful.”

Keep an eye out for a few more colourful visitors. 🦋

With spring underway in the Adelaide Hills, warmer days bring more than blossom and new growth - they also signal the beginning of increased butterfly activity.

And these little garden visitors are doing more than adding a flash of colour.

Butterflies play an important role as pollinators and are also a sign of a healthy environment. Gardens can give them a helping hand too, with flowering plants providing nectar and suitable host plants offering somewhere to lay their eggs.

So as you’re out walking around Newenham or pottering in the garden over the coming weeks, keep an eye out. You may start noticing a few more wings on the move.

Spring in the Adelaide Hills - warm one day, cool the next. 🌸

But the changing weather hasn't stopped the cherry blossoms from bringing a little spring delight to Newenham.

And here's a tip if you spot them while driving through our community: take a moment.

Step out of the car, wander a little closer and breathe them in. The photos are beautiful, but the fragrance is something else entirely.

Sometimes it's worth stopping to smell the blossoms. 💗😊

What if the slope of your allotment became part of the inspiration for your new home? 🌿

Building on sloping land can require a little more thought, but it can also open up some pretty exciting possibilities - from elevated outlooks and split-level living to undercroft spaces, natural light and landscaping that follows the contours of the land.

For our latest Newenham story, we spoke with residents who have built on sloping allotments, alongside experienced builders, to share what they’ve learned firsthand.

Their advice? Start with the land, then design the home.

We explore the design opportunities, practical considerations, costs and some of the unexpected benefits our residents have discovered along the way.

Plus, take a closer look at three sloping allotments currently available at Newenham and what their individual characteristics could inspire.
