Set against a canvas of gum trees and rolling hills, 251 Nicholls Road pairs 11.7 breathtaking acres (4.76 hectares) with a home where sustainability, scale, and self-sufficiency converge - all only half an hour from the CBD.
At its centre, a striking C2009 north-facing home stands in perfect harmony with its surrounds. Wrapped in earth-toned render and corrugated iron, and guided by passive design principles, its clean contemporary lines and versatile layout create a seamless conversation between inside and out.
Slate-tiled floors line a flowing footprint, moving from a central lounge through to a vast family hub with combustion fireplace, panoramic windows framing the landscape in one cinematic sweep. Glass sliders extend the living footprint onto a return deck, delivering a natural stage for long-table lunches and starlit evenings.
Anchoring it all, the kitchen balances form and function, with stainless-steel appliances ready for any recipe, while open-plan positioning ensures zero break in the conversation.
The slumber zones deliver scope for every chapter, private main bedroom suite boasting walk-in robe and luxe hotel-style ensuite, with two additional bedrooms and a two-way family bathroom cleverly grouped in their own wing, and a bonus third ready to be adapted as you see fit.
But the true ingenuity lies at the bookends – two versatile studio spaces. From an expansive front with its own combustion fireplace, to an additional rear complete with kitchenette, the possibilities are endless for creative retreats, guest quarters, home offices, or multigenerational living.
Thoughtful extras reinforce its future-focused design, Veridian Comfort glazed windows, electric underfloor heating, solar panels, 3-phase power, rainwater tanks, a new wastewater system (c2025), and a reed septic system combining to keep your footprint light.
Beyond the homestead, the land unfolds to a canvas of lifestyle potential. A fully fenced paddock is primed for horses or livestock, while an extensive workshop is set for any project. All of it flows seamlessly to native bushland with direct access to Scott Creek Conservation Park, setting both novice and seasoned hikers up for life.
Tucked away from the world yet just minutes from Heathfield, Mylor, and Stirling, Scott Creek is one of the Adelaide Hills' best-kept secrets. Close to sporting clubs, ovals, walking trails, local shops, with a host of wineries as your neighbours to enjoy on weekends. Educational options abound, including Scott Creek, Heathfield, and Mylor Primary Schools, Heathfield High School, and private schooling. And when city calls, the CBD is a seamless 30-minute drive down the freeway.
Whether you dream of a hobby farm, creative escape, or simply a family lifestyle with freedom to roam, 251 Nicholls Road doesn't just accommodate your vision – it empowers it.
