Set across a spectacular 5.62-acre parcel that shifts with the seasons, 45a Whitewood Drive is more than a home - it's a sanctuary.
From its 1880 origins as a two-roomed sandstone cottage, to thoughtful extensions in the 1940s and 1990s, the layout has evolved with timeless appeal, wrapped in picture windows and French doors that bring the outdoors in.
Living zones stretch from a formal lounge with exposed beams and pot-belly stove, to a dedicated dining room centered by brick-fireplace, and to a bay-windowed family zone where a combustion heater takes centre stage. At its heart, a solid timber kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and a servery window makes light work of daily routines and weekend gatherings alike.
Two spacious bedrooms and a beautifully updated bathroom complete the internal footprint, while the outdoor offering takes it all to the next level. An alfresco terrace provides the perfect setting for morning coffee or long-table lunches, lined with a tapestry of camellias, azaleas, and beautifully established gardens.
The surrounding acreage unfolds with endless potential. Dotted with gums, fruit trees, arable land, and a pine plantation, it's a landscape ready to shape into a thriving hobby farm, or simply be enjoyed as a private, leafy retreat. Add in a powered shed, four-car carport, and plenty of parking, and you've got the practicalities covered too.
And while it feels like a private hideaway, the conveniences are never far, with Upper Sturt General Store, Stirling and Blackwood villages, quality schools, Belair National Park and the Adelaide Hills wine region all just minutes away. Even the CBD is only 20 minutes down the freeway.
Whether you're chasing your tree change, a forever family base, or just space to breathe, this is hills living at its finest.
