What began as a modest C1880 cottage with a solitary window is today an architectural reimagining that takes full advantage of its northern, elevated aspect to cast one of the most spectacular views you'll find. Full stop.
Like a secret worth keeping, that outlook - spanning three Mounts (of the Lofty, George and Torrens variety) - doesn't reveal itself until you've stepped well into this solar-powered 4-bedroom home on some 2.5 bore-fed acres.
A second cottage was built C1925. You can thank the current owners - along with their architect - for stitching the two structures together like they've always belonged.
The result; a dynamic home that embraces its stone-laden past and modern architectural cues with the same gusto as it does those views.
A large entry hall marks the transition between eras - retreating to what could be a wing closed off for live-in-laws, visiting guests, pesky teens or paying travellers. They'll like the underfloor-heated ensuite, a bedroom with thick stone walls and external access to a private courtyard.
The other cottage forms a quaint entry point; its jarrah floors, cosy bedrooms and sunny reading room setting the tone for that rear reveal…
Double glazing rises high with the skillion roofline and those distant ridge lines read like a postcard beyond your oversized pool, designated paddocks, a Vergola that closes at the first sign of rain and a sunny deck that seemingly hovers in the air.
Watch the storm roll over the horizon. Then cook one up in a modern open-plan kitchen with composite stone benchtops, breakfast bar, and Bosch and Smeg appliances.
A four-car powered shed takes care of the tools, toys and weekend projects, while a double carport adds even more space for the everyday shuffle. The grounds are reticulated, the orchard is fruiting, and the bore (with a new pump) keeps it all thriving.
Set just moments from the heart of Mylor, this is Adelaide Hills living at its most quietly dreamy. You're minutes from the charm of Stirling, the trails of Mount Lofty, and the cellar doors of nearby vineyards - with the city just 15kms away if you ever feel like rejoining it. Ridge Road has you now.
