Registration for the Inspections is essential. Please call/email the Agents to book.
Boxwell is a rare gem of a property with a gracious and historic sandstone home, set in exquisite grounds which provide a sense of grandeur, stunning beauty and rare privacy and relaxation, in a dress circle Stirling location. The exclusive Milan Terrace address and located only minutes from the heart of Stirling and fast freeway access to Adelaide (about 20 minutes), will appeal to the discerning family buyer.
The sweep of the driveway, a stunning collection of trees, little spots with benches, lawns, and a fairy garden - Boxwell welcomes the visitor with a magic all of its own! This garden, a perennial favourite of the Open Gardens Scheme and Garden Clubs, has also received numerous awards, featured widely in the glossies.
Boxwell was once part of a much larger estate taken up by farm worker John Halliday in 1854. He developed the property as a market garden and orchard and built the original 1860's sandstone villa. In the 1950's the house and grounds were developed for private and public enjoyment under the ownership of the Brady's of billiard table fame, whose legacies include the detached billiard room and large slate terrace that once hosted musical soirees.
Today the elevated bay-fronted villa blends classic character with modern additions and creature comforts including central heating and slow combustion stoves. With four separate living areas - formal lounge, dining, open-plan family spaces and a playroom - and five bedrooms including a three-bedroom sleeping wing, plus a self-contained guest house; there's plenty of room for the largest of families and their constant progression of friends.
A stunning modern kitchen with Smeg and Miele appliances is the beating heart of the home, with extensive produce gardens supplying a seasonal progression of the rare and just plain wonderful including berries, quinces, cherries, apples, pears, kiwi fruit and several varieties figs. Fresh eggs too from the hen house 'Hilton'! Jams, pickles and chutneys will all find a home in the large dry lockable wine cellar that will also thrill the wine buff with racks for 1500 bottles.
As the weather warms, step through French doors to enjoy veranda relaxation and terrace dining with views across lush lawns that are perfect for weddings. Take the woodland walk or wander through the Laurel tunnel, past the ornamental pond and Geko garden to play a set or two on the resurfaced hard tennis court and access bush paths to the west of the property where it merges into Woorabinda Bushland Reserve (the former Stirling Linear Park)
It is now time for this beautiful property to have a new custodian; to look after and preserve it for future generations.
