‘Stella Creek’ is superbly positioned in the heart of the productive farming district of Forest Range, a picturesque cool-climate location in the Adelaide Hills renowned for its fertile soils, established horticulture and beautiful rural landscapes.

Extending across approximately 42 acres, the property presents an appealing combination of productive country, residential gardens, open pasture, native vegetation, substantial infrastructure and a charming Federation-style residence.

The gently undulating land is supported by an excellent water supply, including two large dams, a bore and ample tank storage, providing a strong foundation for horticultural pursuits, grazing or a range of lifestyle and agricultural uses.

At the heart of the property, the inviting Federation-style residence is surrounded by stunning established gardens and grounds. The home features rich jarrah flooring, high ceilings and spacious, light-filled living areas, creating an atmosphere of warmth and timeless character.

Accommodation includes two generous bedrooms, with the main bedroom featuring an ensuite bathroom and walk-in robe. The main bathroom is generously appointed with a luxurious bath, double vanity and shower, complemented by a separate toilet.

The main family living area provides a welcoming retreat, with an open fireplace offering winter warmth alongside ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling for year-round comfort. The generous kitchen is well equipped with electric appliances, a corner pantry and ample bench space.

Floor-to-ceiling windows capture the beauty of the surrounding gardens, while two sets of doors open directly to the sandstone-paved outdoor entertaining area, creating a wonderful connection between the home and its established surrounds.

The gardens are a particularly distinctive feature of ‘Stella Creek’, with an impressive collection of mature English trees including Poplar, Oak, Alder, Crab Apple, Tulip, Linden and Silver Birch. Adding further character is the unique Oak Hedge and the grand driveway lined with mature London Plane Trees.

The garden gently slopes away from the residence, with winding paths, established garden beds and a level lawn leading towards a striking stone centrepiece and garden pond, complete with boardwalk and stone-walled fire pit area. It is a peaceful and private setting designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons, with expansive views across the surrounding landscape.

For those seeking substantial infrastructure, the property offers an impressive high-bay, commercial-sized garage shed complex measuring approximately 17m x 16m. The facility incorporates cool rooms, workshop space and extensive open storage, providing exceptional capacity for vehicle collectors, machinery enthusiasts, trades, horticultural operations or large-scale equipment.

An additional implement shed, measuring approximately 18m x 7.5m, provides further substantial covered storage with open bays.

Adding to the property’s future flexibility is an established concrete foundation measuring approximately 30m x 15m, originally constructed for a proposed new residence. Subject to the necessary approvals, this provides the successful purchaser with an opportunity to further explore its potential for additional shedding, future accommodation or a secondary residence, consistent with the property’s history of having two residences.

‘Stella Creek’ also retains the legacy of its former horticultural enterprise, with more than 2,000 established cherry trees from its previous orchard and ‘Pick Your Own’ operation. While the orchard now requires maintenance, including repairs to the existing netting, it presents the incoming owner with options: revive and reinstate the orchard, re-purpose the established planting areas, or remove the orchard and utilise the land for alternative purposes.

With its rich soils, cool climate, established water resources and productive history, the property offers scope for further horticultural pursuits, additional fruit production or simply enjoying the land as quality grazing country.

A property of genuine scale, character and versatility, ‘Stella Creek’ offers an increasingly rare opportunity to secure approximately 42 acres in one of the Adelaide Hills’ most appealing and productive rural districts – with the infrastructure, gardens, residence and natural attributes to create something truly special.
