An inviting sanctuary of history and horticulture, this architecturally extended c1890s residence-cradled within 20th-century gardens-blends natural beauty with entertaining splendour, just an 11-minute stroll from Stirling Village.
For the active family or retiring pastoralist, every inch of this majestic estate-from the marquee-ready tennis court and gently trickling waterfall to the mature Oaks, Elms, Lindens, Liquidambars, and heritage-listed Weeping Elm-is staged to amaze across two rare, near-level acres of Stirling soil.
You'll admire the original, well-trodden verandah, framed by a century-old Banksia Rose, where not only the morning sun greets you, but the realisation of how Heatherby rightfully earned its place in the South Australian Open Gardens Scheme.
For the scent or the scenery, the autumn colour, winter bulbs, spring ornamentals, and summer shade this cool climate garden, gloriously divided into upper and lower woodlands, is a bore fed irrigated wonderland.
Soaking in the finest aspects of this cherished estate is the open plan family living and dining zone. Sympathetically extended, it's a haven of French doors, bay windows, recycled Baltic pine floors, hand-moulded exposed beams, and a French provincial country kitchen hosting a stainless Smeg gas cooker and a Stanley wood fire stove.
The whitewashed home is anchored by four grand original cottage rooms, led by an ambient lounge, and left of entry, a master bedroom-updated with a walk-in dressing room and ensuite-while to the rear, a formal dining room and dedicated home office add sophisticated symmetry.
Bedrooms two, three and four retreat to a far wing against the family bathroom, and with separate external French doors, the fourth works brilliantly as an Airbnb/guest suite.
Practical extras include split system air conditioning you'll rarely use, a double carport and three-bay powered garage, wood and utility shedding, plus a gravelled driveway that meanders through this exceptional property.
Everyday ease is just beyond the garden gate with zoned Heathfield High and St. Catherine's School, private school bus stops, Woorabinda's lakeside trails, a friendly game at the Stirling Pétanque Club, and a long lunch at The Stirling Hotel.
There's no hiding it-Heatherby is a rare gift for those who treasure gardens and gatherings, in a botanical sanctuary where every season writes its own significant story.
