Offers Close Tue, 1st Dec - 1pm (USP)
Looking out across vineyards towards the Mount Lofty Ranges, 'Karawatha' offers the rare pleasure of calling home a place others travel to experience, bringing a c1928 farmhouse and three self-contained guest cottages together on 2.5 acres of established gardens in the folds of Blewitt Springs.
The original farmhouse remains a beautiful reason to call Karawatha home, fully restored and reimagined to pair its high ceilings and rich timber floors with contemporary comfort, while a sweeping return verandah and tree-shaded dining deck make the most of its elevated garden setting and separation from the cottages.
Aptly named Ponder, Unwind and Relish, three self-contained cottages invite guests to settle into vineyard views and explore neighbouring cellar doors on foot, with five consecutive years of Tripadvisor Best of the Best recognition giving this rare commercial opportunity a reputation to build on and a beautiful lifestyle to accompany it.
