The 105-year-old Crafers Mansion is a beautiful blend of the best of yesteryear and the latest in modern living, ensuring this magnificent home will provide comfortable living for a century to come.
A property at 24 Old Mt Barker Road, known locally as Woodbury, is on the market.
Purchased by Nicole Townsend Seven years ago, when we moved from Interstate, I fell in love with both this home and its idyllic location.
“I used to live along the coast, so I decided to change the trees,” she says.
“This house is lovely and cool in the summer, beautiful and cozy in the winter, and a great entertainer. The living room opens onto the veranda, perfect for hosting guests.
“It overlooks the pool at the front, which is really the heart of the house.
“We’ve had a lot of parties here.”

Ms. Townsend runs an outside organization. The cottage has been a successful Airbnb, and the home, with its 38-panel solar power system and Tesla Powerwall, says it has potential. Easily rentable as a 1 bedroom cottage, 2 bedroom lower apartment and the remaining 3 bedroom home.
“It’s going to be a great home for so many different demographics,” Townsend says.
“There’s so much soul to it that they don’t make stuff like that anymore. And everything is within walking distance of Stirling and only a 20-minute drive from the city.”
