With just four owners over its lifetime, Three Oaks Cottage has undergone the most liberating lifestyle shift its charming walls have ever seen – and it makes one darn good reason to take Greenhill Road's scenic 15-minute drive from Burnside….

It's also an easy 9 minutes from Stirling, surrounded by wineries, distilleries, and a leafy dash to popular Uraidla - when you want the best of all worlds in sophisticated cottage seclusion, this is it. 

Fastidiously landscaped from the ground up, the 3-bedroom, 1870s cottage reveals its chic reinvention beyond a tapestry of stone walls, scented and seasonal colour, proving why the bees, birdlife and butterflies call it home.

You can too as a retirement plan, a permanent retreat, or as an Airbnb to supplement your own travels, amongst a low-care garden transformation that began with the 140-year old oak trees.

Indoors, you'll relax in formal living room comfort against a combustion fire and plantation shutters, keeping two quiet bedrooms well distanced from the adjacent master bedroom. 

And here, chipping through the thick stone walls of a surplus bedroom was a worthwhile challenge, creating the master walk-in dressing room and chic ensuite, floored in terrazzo-inspired tiles.

For the entertainer, the open plan kitchen stretches into chef and serving wings, with sweeping benchtops, induction cooking, endless joinery, and garden views – amplified in the lower 2nd living and dining space where full-scale rear panes apply summer's perfect garden veil.

Your whole home winter warmer is the pot belly stove, and the original stone external wall stands as a reminder of the home's 19th century roots.

As for the old oak tree, dine beneath the boughs, or take a cheese plate to the open air terrace; choice is a virtue, and whoever said Summertown was miles away, was miles off…

An indulgent shout for dinner at Mount Lofty House, a Pinot re-stock from Ashton Hills Vineyard, nature walks through Cleland Reserve, or an impulsive browse at Burnside; whatever your next chapter looks like, make it something special in a one-of-a-kind Summertown cottage.
