What started as a humble 3-roomed stone cottage etched into its hidden corner of Marble Hill, 'The Laurels' has come a long way since C1870, evolving into something worthy of today - with sweeping 19-acre views across Basket Range.
From three rooms to nine, from one level to two; The Laurels didn't rest until it became a four-bedroom home that wears its recent updates as proudly as the exposed stone adorning its internal walls.
The result is a deceptively spacious, always charming abode that breaks away to a contemporary 2-bedroom wing with its own external access to this bore-fed property with a picture-pretty dam and plenty of level land to its name.
Bedrooms 1 and 2 find their own corner; one with an ensuite boasting backlit dual vanity mirrors and a double shower. A sign of things to come in this extensively updated home.
At the heart of the home is a stone-framed lounge with exposed timber beams. It features a striking combustion heater nestled in a restored inglenook fireplace, set on custom slate. This warm and welcoming space flows seamlessly into the updated kitchen and casual meals area, creating a versatile layout designed for both relaxation and social connection.
With brushed copper tapware, stainless steel appliances, loads of storage, marble herringbone splashbacks and a breakfast bar, the kitchen pairs traditional beauty with 21st-century functionality.
Time seems to stop when you step outside to a parcel with old stone outbuildings, ancient fruit trees, extensive shedding, and wide open-spaces with arresting views - reaching its most beautiful point where the land levels out and a horse arena once sat.
Not a road in sight. No neighbours peering in. Your own world, 15 minutes from Stirling's buzz, 25 minutes from Adelaide's CBD, a hop from one winery to the next. The Laurels has come a long way. You don't have to.
