Located directly between the townships of Tanunda and Nuriootpa on Barossa Valley Way, Barossa House it is ideally positioned in the sought-after heartland of the Barossa. This imposing Tudor home enjoys rural views with an outlook over the vineyards that are so integral to the Barossa Valley, close to all amenities and facilities.
Barossa House was built around 1926 for the son of a family who operated a large stone fruit orchard, one of many orchards in the area at this time. It was a grand house for the times with a tennis court in the front yard, and became well known in the area for its very social tennis days and other occasions.
Many years later, Barossa House was sold and became one of the first guest houses to operate in the Barossa Valley, offering premium bed and breakfast accommodation to visitors from Australia and around the world.
The beautiful gardens you see today are on the site of the old tennis court, and are the result of the dedication of the current owners, who both have extensive experience in the nursery industry. Manicured lawns, magnificent rose beds, formal hedges and bursts of flowering annuals provide a tranquil setting that continues to enchant guests who are fortunate enough to come and stay.
The wide shady veranda that wraps around the home sets the scene for lazy afternoons spent curled in up a cane chair or stretched out on a day bed with a good book and glass of wine in hand.
This is a spacious residence offering up to four bedrooms on two levels, with many original features that set the architecture of this era apart. From the grand entry foyer to the inviting formal lounge with feature glazed brick fireplace, high ornate ceiling and timber floors, you will fall in love the moment you step inside.
The formal dining and breakfast room has hosted many conversations around the big timber table and it is not hard to imagine your own family gathering here in the future. It adjoins a well-equipped country kitchen with servery and larder where fresh Barossa produce can be stored away to pile onto effortless Barossa nibbling platters.
The home currently has four guest suites each with private ensuite bathrooms, so you have a choice of potential master bedrooms. You could choose an elegant downstairs suite with views over the lush front garden, or the luxurious upstairs suite which comes complete with a separate sitting area. The upstairs suite also offers a private deck looking out over the rear of the property with views to a beautiful Jacaranda tree. A third bedroom enjoys a northerly aspect with views over a glorious photinia hedge.
The fourth bedroom suite has a separate entry at the rear of Barossa House and overlooks the towering Eucalyptus trees at the back of the block, lending a rustic Australian country feel. Ideal as a teenagers retreat, guest room or studio apartment, it could also serve as a family games room or home theatre.
Outside there is ample shedding and garaging at the rear of the property, together with a chook run and vegetable garden.
You may choose to explore the business options of running Barossa House as an enterprise, or let this grand lady retire and relish the indulgence of having this lovely home as your private residence. It is true that they don t build homes like this today. Your inspection will instantly tell you that you can t recreate the character and history that is lavishly presented here.
