3 Heron Place, Flagstaff Hill, SA 5159

The scenery is spectacular, the gardens are gorgeous and there's obvious pride in the homes up here - no surprises - but, just when did the Craigburn Estate become so very smart?

Tucked away in an exclusive no-through enclave, No.3 Heron Place will have you at hello before you've so much as set foot through its wide, double-gabled façade, impeccably dressed in Kanmantoo bluestone. Truth to tell, the replica villa has never looked so good!
Set on some 1,300sqm of botanic charm and commanding breathtaking views across the Sturt Gorge from the rear, this 1995-built Colony Home is about as secluded and tranquil as it gets.

Beautiful and bespoke; you can't help but be impressed by the quality here: solid Meranti joinery and doors, cedar sash windows with phantom fly screens, a sublime Davis & Parks country-house-kitchen with butler's pantry, and 144sqm of incredibly hard-wearing Swan River Red decking, topped by a massive entertaining pavilion - all built to last and demanding little of your time.

Inside there's more of that generosity of space. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, three living areas - you know how it goes - here configured beautifully to bestow the ultimate sanctuary of a parents' retreat, a separate sleeping wing for children or guests, optional study/Bedroom 4 and a string of communal living spaces that are also perfect for entertaining.

With big windows, full of sky and rolling hills, the wow factor just keeps on coming... in winter best enjoyed in front of a roaring log fire. Warmer weather will see you out on the deck, breakfasting with the cockatoos, communing with the koalas and planning your escape to one of the many sheltered spots dotted amidst the beautiful shade trees and cottage gardens. Slip out the gate and it's freedom... walking tracks, bike trails and the crystal-clear waters of the Sturt River, (only 200m away), at your beck and call.

You couldn't get any closer to nature, yet remoteness is more feeling than fact when you're only minutes to shops, schools and the Flagstaff Hill Golf Course. But when you're also less than ten minutes to Westfield Marion, high-speed trains to the CBD and Flinders Medical Centre, suddenly the tree-change has never seemed so appealing!
