225 Bunnett Road, Bugle Ranges, SA 5251

Nestled amongst nine acres of pretty Adelaide Hills land and boasting a magnificent private outlook, this warm and gracious villa sits at the end of a secluded, gravel-topped driveway featuring traditional timber farm gates bordered with classic agapanthus plantings.

The approach to the residence leads you to choose between two short flights of stairs to the large villa-style sweeping front veranda, with French door access from two bedrooms-and into the home's grand entry. 

The hall, boasting superb solid timber flooring, is flanked by a generous main bedroom suite and formal living on the eastern wing, with the remaining part of the home on the west wing.

Both wings have high gable ceilings, with the central/original cottage retaining its original sloping roof design: a delightful reminder of its heritage-the sympathetic extensions are built to meticulous standards and use the highest quality materials for door, floor, and window treatments. 

It's a remarkable piece of history, with the original section of the home dating back to the 1860s approx. It features robust walls made of Wistow stone, with these substantial stone walls still characterising the central area of the expanded residence.

At the hub of the home, the designer kitchen is equipped with all-Miele appliances (including a built-in coffee maker and microwave/combi-oven), granite benchtops, and a rotary pantry cupboard with a second walk-in pantry.

Access the outside patio from the light-filled kitchen, where you can host the largest gatherings with family and friends or spend some quiet time on a sunny morning and enjoy the best of Adelaide Hills living.

With a family-friendly layout, the residence offers multiple living spaces with high ceilings, ornate cornices, and two fully tiled bathrooms, each with spa baths. In addition, there is a guest powder room and laundry with extensive storage.

The dairy has been renovated and extended into a fully self-contained studio, and extensive landscaping and planting create a mature exotic garden/arboretum. 

Two well-preserved stone outbuildings were constructed from the 1860s: the former colonial kitchen, featuring a wood stove, has been re-roofed and had its stonework re-mortared in 2023. Additionally, a meat room was repurposed as a garden shed.

Thoughtful and water-wise plantings create botanic outdoor spaces to explore amongst stone retaining walls. Plenty of vantage points are dotted throughout the garden to sit and enjoy the tranquillity and ever-changing colours of the landscape. 

There is abundant room for kids to play, explore, and let their imaginations run wild, providing them hours of non-stop amusement. 

Dual access (formal circular drive off Bunnett Road and upper circular driveway from Wellington Road) provides excellent flexibility, access, and parking for large vehicles.

The property offers two large, well-fenced paddocks with animal shelter -fences renewed in 2018-an orchard (irrigated with treated wastewater), a native garden, vegetable beds with hoops and netting provided, a woodlot, and two winter dams to complete the easily managed property.
