'GLENGROVE' presents a healthy and productive rural lifestyle about 20 minutes drive to a whole range of popular Adelaide Hills and Southern Vale's cafes, wineries and the southern surfing beaches. It's only about 45 minutes pleasant drive into Adelaide so you have the best of both worlds - country style living and city convenience!
The land holding is some 120 undulating acres including 23 acres approx. of vineyards with pastures currently carrying around 200 sheep.
Glengrove Estate is one of the area's original farms and dates back to 1859. Visitors to the property often liken it to Tuscany. It's a home for all seasons - warm in winter and cool in summer. For most of the year the home is clad in spectacular Boston Ivy which is lush green in Spring and Summer and turns deep burgundy during Autumn.
