Carefree hills living on 2500m², with tall timber outlooks as far as the eye can see.
Ah, the sound of silence... Located tranquilly on a wooded hillside within minutes of Stirling's vibrant heart, this 2004-built pole home is your stylish escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, just 20 minutes away via the freeway.
Swap stress for relaxation as you head home to your very own rural getaway where kangaroos and koalas are free to roam. And so can you... within the double-glazed sanctuary of a single-level floorplan designed to guzzle light and Mother Nature in all her glory.
Perched high above the forest floor, this modern tree house offers easy-care charms and impressive eco characteristics including solar energy and ample rainwater storage. Ideal for the busy young family, retirees and weekenders; in fact, anyone hunting for that legendary hills lifestyle without the hard graft.
Wrapping three sides of the home, a balcony deck is the perfect introduction to the sights, both outdoors and in. Here beautiful Blackbutt floors flow in abundance beneath lofty raked ceilings, with European-engineered window and doors allowing every room to spill outside for that immersive bush experience. If you love nature, then you are truly amongst it here!
On entering, a thoughtfully placed laundry/mudroom - a must for any country home - leads to a walk-in store before the floor plan neatly divides itself between rest and play. Swinging around to the North and encompassing a bright modern kitchen, open-plan family spaces are bathed in winter sunshine and the warmth of a wood-burning stove. They adjoin that all-important second living area and, along with your three bedrooms - two doubles and a single - afford true flexibility in a layout that also delivers spacious built-ins and a bathroom with both tub and shower.
And it all sits so perfectly on the doorstep of Mark Oliphant Conservation Park, Heathfield High School, Heathfield Oval and buses. So do yourself a favour and head for the hills today!
