1 Nara Road, Stirling, SA 5152

Only one of a handful of Stirling holdings of this scale, almost eight acres give one of the townships oldest homes the room to be something much more compelling than a character cottage, creating a private country holding shaped by water, horses, and bore-fed gardens, an inspired addition and 36 years in the same adoring hands. This is a legacy property of calibre seldom offered in the Adelaide Hills. 

A series of considered updates culminated in a beautifully resolved Hughes Construction addition, pairing the weight of the original stone-and-brick home with a sympathetic expansion that looks, lives and feels like it's always belonged. 

The resulting four-bedroom floorplan moves dynamically across several levels, creating grand shared rooms and genuine places to retreat, work, dine or just be; often with a garden view in tow. 

The immense family room is its grandest gesture, drawing tall windows, built-in shelving and an active fireplace into a formal yet highly usable space, while the lounge, separate dining room and glazed garden room offer three distinctly different ways to slow down.

The timber country kitchen sits at the social heart of the later addition, combining electric appliances, a large central island and walk-in pantry with a timber-lined sitting zone warmed by a slow-combustion fire.

The upper level belongs largely to the bedrooms, led by a substantial main suite with a broad bay window and walk-in robe, while multiple bathrooms include clawfoot baths, heritage-style fittings and a more contemporary wet-room treatment below. 

Dual driveways, a grass arena, horse-ready paddocks, extensive powered shedding, multiple carports, automatic irrigation and mains, rainwater and licence-exempt bore water equip the property for serious acreage living, while a recently installed 15kW solar system helps carry it forward.

Its storybook setting feels far removed from schedules, traffic and the wider world, yet Stirling Village sits within five minutes and the city remains an easy run beyond, giving this rare hobby farm the freedom of the country without the long drive home. You've reached your destination.
