Follow the winding driveway for something totally unexpected. Where paddocks preserve the silence around a modern heritage-style homestead hovering above the picturesque Sturt Valley, while keeping the city and Stirling Village at arm’s length.
Two dams, three fenced paddocks, four glorious hectares, row upon row of walnut and pecan trees, and the most unforgettable ridgetop skies - all this, and the property’s own stone ruins - just a 12-minute spin from The Tollgate.
Beautifully refurbished over time, every muted hue and modern upgrade lets the landscape steal the show. Four double bedrooms, two renovated bathrooms, plush new carpets, a roof restoration and beneficial solar efficiency all rank second to a perch, that from now on, becomes your panoramic backyard.
As for the land, it hums with country potential. Graze livestock, grow your own produce, or honour its sublime north-easterly aspect with a guest house (STCC) angled for outlooks while nature echoes out around you.
For the growing family, reach out for enrolment at St. Catherine’s and Heathfield High School, or create the ultimate childhood education at home.
Cushioned into the hillside, the single level home provides ample guest parking, a dual carport and a gabled alfresco on arrival (with a firepit) while the machinery and workshop shed winds its way to the block’s prettiest point.
Dual entry points, dual living spaces and multiple bay windows pierce sunlight into the home. The quality timber kitchen and adjoining dining zone are framed by the first bay window; the next frames the primary wing.
A private and tranquil refuge, the primary bedroom offers walk-in robes and a newly renovated ensuite; lining the hallway, up to three more bedrooms (or two plus a study) feature plush carpets and access to the equally chic main bathroom.
Each revised suite nods to the hues of the landscape with timber grain vanities, stone benchtops, and textural tiling.
Comfort is assured throughout with ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, a slow combustion living room fireplace, and plenty of rainwater storage.
Explore the site’s old stone ruins, let the goats and sheep maintain the grounds, watch the light spill across the treetops, and stay for the sunsets – all while savouring some of the best views in the valley.
Relax, your family’s future rests here.
