Set on approximately 4 Acres and believed to be the very first home ever built in Ironbank, this c.1884 stone residence stands as an extraordinary piece of local history. Constructed by the Brown family and cherished for more than 140 years, the property blends eclectic charm, rustic character and heritage warmth with serene acreage living, surrounded by some of the most enchanting outdoor settings the Adelaide Hills has to offer.
Beneath towering century-old oak trees, the gardens unfold into a series of beautifully curated outdoor spaces-each one offering its own charm. The property is alive with wildlife-colourful native birds, grazing kangaroos and sleepy koalas nestled high in the gums-creating a peaceful, storybook atmosphere. From quiet sitting nooks to expansive entertaining areas, every pocket of the property invites you to pause, unwind and take in the peaceful landscape. A magnificent large dam forms a stunning visual centrepiece, while a winter creek winds gently through the grounds and a paddock stretches out beyond.
A standout feature is the studio, set amongst the trees with French doors that open out to a beautiful garden setting.
Inside, the stone home continues its story of character and comfort. Timeless textures and garden outlooks at every turn create a warm, homely atmosphere. A charming sitting room-complete with a classic fireplace-sets the tone for cosy evenings and intimate gatherings, while the country-style kitchen with Miele appliances, feels wonderfully inviting with its tranquil garden views. A bright sunroom adds yet another calming space, capturing soft morning light and offering a peaceful corner to read, relax or simply enjoy the serenity.
The house offers a warm, welcoming feel, with each bedroom capturing its own beautiful outlook. The main bedroom, with its large built-in wardrobes, is light-filled and inviting, framed by expansive windows and opening through French doors to a peaceful outdoor setting. The second bedroom complete with built-in wardrobes and plantation shutters, offers comfort and versatility while the third bedroom, enjoys wooden blinds, lovely views and a serene ambience. The fourth bedroom functions equally well as a bedroom or study, with its own restful outlook that makes it a flexible addition to the home.
