A storybook Hills retreat in every sense, this substantial stone residence turns almost two acres at the end of a shared approach into its own private world, where Sturt Valley Road becomes a distant memory, rugged rock forms an enchanting backdrop and a flat rear lawn opens into a lush, park-like garden that feels three worlds away from the city.
Built with the heft and slightly eccentric charm of an old Hills inn, this solar-powered home stacks four bedrooms across two levels, balancing the sociability of multiple ground-floor living spaces with an upper sleeping level that converges on its sweeping rear terrace.
The terrace lifts the curtain on a magical rear world, where those play-ready lawns run into colourful plantings and shady places to sit and contemplate life's mysteries, before the hillside rises sharply, wrapping it all in the drama of what feels like a private ravine. This is something else.
Open the Door to:
- A wonderfully secluded 7,753sqm Hills holding, reached at the end of a shared road, where suburbia falls away and bushland and established gardens take over
- A substantial two-storey stone residence built in 1993, pairing rugged masonry with red-brick arches, corrugated iron and the old-world character of a country inn
- Approximately 235sqm of living with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous separation between its ground and upper levels
- Two substantial ground-floor living zones plus separate dining, giving the home the scale and flexibility to accommodate family life without forcing everyone into the same room
- A quality solid timber kitchen with stone benchtops, gas cooking, dishwasher, dual wall ovens, extensive cabinetry and a servery to rear living zone
- Character carried inside through exposed brick, decorative cornices, generous proportions and a fireplace anchoring the main living room
- Three upstairs bedrooms including a particularly generous main suite with ensuite and robes, complemented by a fourth bedroom on the ground floor
- A vast upper verandah measuring more than 12 metres long, creating an elevated outdoor room with a direct outlook across the stunning private garden
- A second separate patio adding further places to sit within the landscape
- Broad, level lawn forming the unexpected centrepiece of the grounds, surrounded by mature deciduous trees, ferns, established planting and quieter garden pockets
- A dramatic exposed escarpment rising behind the garden, giving the property a natural boundary that no conventional landscaping could replicate
- Solar panels, extensive off-street parking and room for multiple vehicles
Stirling never disappears completely. Its village centre, always close at hand, with Woorabinda Bushland Reserve and Mount Lofty Botanic Garden adding still more green space nearby, while Adelaide sits roughly 20 minutes down the freeway. It is that contradiction that makes the setting so compelling, a home that feels buried deep in the Hills while keeping one of its best-known villages and the city comfortably within reach.
