The c1964 home showcases the best in mid-century floorplan and architectural design, with floor-to-ceiling windows completing double-duty to frame sweeping views and facilitate airflow for breezy summers, while terrazzo crazy paving floors connect all zones with unique style.

An enviable main bedroom suite is complete with ensuite adjoining private vine-wrapped courtyard, delivering a resort-like retreat for evening wind-downs and morning rituals alike. Two additional bedrooms are fully equipped with built-in robes, serviced by a serene, updated family bathroom, with spa bath for sumptuous soaks.

Two spacious living areas are spread across the floorplan, offering ample scope to configure your way, with front lounge complete with roaring combustion heater for toasty winters. An extensive kitchen cements its place as the hub of your home, with placement overlooking dining area ensuring easy meal service, while walk-in pantry, stainless steel appliances and stone-look benchtops are sure to please even the most fastidious of master-chefs.

To the rear, a detached studio is complete with roller door access and proximity to vast, secure rear shed, with veranda and firepit on hand for further liveability. Whether you’re seeking space for multi-generational living, a supreme work-from-home suite, artists retreat or bespoke workshop space, the framework is ready and waiting for you.

Master-planned botanical gardens provide endless hideaways for contemplation, showcasing heritage gum trees, over 70 ornamental flower varieties, lush lawns and a citrus orchard. A gardener’s delight, nature playground and birdwatchers’ paradise all in one, winding paths guide you to settings for everything from quiet contemplation to large-scale events to an epic game of hide and seek. Further reclaimed timber carries across multiple alfresco entertaining areas, culminating in a striking tree-canopied deck for you to sit back, relax, and survey your empire.

Stirling and its welcoming community are just a short drive away, with the main street home to a plethora of cafes, eateries, specialty shops, and services, as well as monthly markets and even an Adelaide Fringe hub in the hills, as well as the beloved Stirling Hotel for summer sips on the deck or winter reds by the fire.
