The Quarry House 6.4 Acres That Feel a World Away
Norwood, Adelaide

Norwood, Adelaide · Land
Hidden within the Adelaide foothills, the former John Fisher Drive quarry one of the oldest quarries in SA presents an extraordinary opportunity: 6.4 acres of predominantly flat land held within a dramatic natural amphitheatre of exposed stone and established native landscape. The experience is almost cinematic. Great walls of cascading bluestone rise to the south, catching the changing light throughout the day, while mature gums and native vegetation wrap around the site. Stand within the quarry floor and there is an unmistakable sense of being somewhere much further from Adelaide, more Flinders Ranges than metropolitan foothills, yet the city is approximately 12 minutes away. It is this contrast that makes the property so remarkable. A Place with History The story of this landscape is equally compelling. The quarry is understood to be one of South Australia's oldest, having operated from 1858 until 1936. It was originally associated with the prominent Mitcham-based Rayner family befo
