House for Sale in Totness
First Time Offered in 40 Years: A Beloved Original with Incredible Views
- 3 Beds
- 1 Bath
- 3 Cars
Best Offers By 2pm Tuesday the 3rd of March 2026 (Unless Sold Prior)
For four decades, this solid AVJennings original has been the beloved anchor for just one extraordinary Totness family. It is a home with serious heart, having served as the base for a family of nurses and a professional boxer husband-meaning this house has seen its fair share of metaphorical knockouts and rapid recoveries. It's a property where resilience and care are built into the foundations, walls that have absorbed forty years of loud laughter, busy shifts, and the kind of genuine family history you simply cannot replicate. The gloves are finally being hung up, offering a rare chance for a new family to inherit this legacy.
Perched high on Totness Road, the residence commands an elevated position that gifts it with truly incredible, sweeping panoramic views right across to Mount Barker. It sits upon a large, deep parcel of land that feels like it stretches on forever, offering the kind of old-school freedom where kids could disappear down to the rear paddock for hours and still be within shouting distance for dinner. It's a substantial holding that perfectly balances usable flat space with that inspiring hillside elevation.
The home itself stands proudly with its classic tiled roof and inviting front verandah, a testament to honest, enduring construction. Inside, it is a comfortable time capsule of family life, warmed dutifully through the decades by a trusty combustion heater and various electric panels that have fought off many a Hills winter. While it has served its original owners perfectly, it now presents solid bones and a functional layout ready for a modern vision to match those million-dollar vistas.

Totness remains one of the region's most tightly held secrets-a peaceful semi-rural pocket on the immediate outskirts of town that rarely yields opportunities such as this. While you feel removed from the hustle, the convenience is unmatched. You are merely minutes from the centre of Mount Barker, a very short drive to the historic charm of Hahndorf and Littlehampton, and enjoy immediate, easy access to the South Eastern Freeway for a straightforward commute down the hill. It is the ultimate blend of hills tranquility and suburban accessibility.
