'Karinya' is the traditional word for Happy and Peaceful - 'Karinya House' means Happy and Peaceful Home.
Framed by rolling hills, lush hedges, towering gums and endless valley vistas, this extraordinary family estate offers one of the most private and serene lifestyles in the Adelaide Hills yet sits just a short stroll from the warm and connected surrounding community and only minutes to the city.

Elegant, electric, monitored gates open to a stately driveway, gently revealing the home in all its impressive scale.

Along the hall, three generous bedrooms offer designer wardrobes, custom curtains and plush carpet, with two bedrooms featuring French doors to the balcony.
