There’s plenty to love about this hi-tech Adelaide home. But it’s a defining secret – buried underground – that will have buyers thinking of a Hollywood spy movie.

The future owners of a Somerton Park home won’t have to travel far for a drink at one of Adelaide’s most exclusive bars.

The multimillion-dollar listing at 42 Rossall Rd has sold for $5.9m after less than two weeks on the market, setting a new suburb record for the popular seaside locale.

The 2024-built home was South Australia’s most viewed home on realestate.com.au this week and the second most viewed nationally.

It’s popularity can be attributed to a defining, James Bond-like secret – an underground wine bar, carefully concealed behind a sneaky bookcase door.

Selling agent Simon Noakes of Noakes Nickolas said the home had offered buyers something unique.

“It’s something, I’m sure, you’ve never seen before. Properties like this, typically never hit the market,” he said.

“It’s got 213sq m of underground space, so the size of a normal, large home underground, which is exceptional.

“With the secret room, the owner’s build it for their own needs as they wanted something special, something unique for their wine and to have a special place to enjoy a drink with family and friends.

“That room can easily hold up to 1000 bottles.”

Mr Noakes said the three-level home – which took three years to design and build – featured hidden luxuries wherever you looked.

This includes up to six bedrooms, three bathrooms, a cinema, a study, a wine cellar, as well as a gym and sauna.

There is also an underground shed, a walk-in freezer, an outdoor kitchen and a fully tiled and automated magnesium pool and a spa.

Back inside, a sunken lounge, overlooked by a designer kitchen is sure to impress.

Meanwhile, Clipsal Wiser smart technology provides automation at every turn, starting with keyless entry to the home and automatic blinds to bedrooms.

Krix speakers in all main rooms and mechanical ventilation throughout the home for air quality, complete the picture.

With no less than 786sq m of internal and external living to enjoy, Mr Noakes said the home had been ideal for buyers looking for a long-term investment….or those lucky enough to have won the lottery.
