Abbotsford Country House is located in the Barossa Valley, one hour’s drive from Adelaide, via the Northern Expressway and Barossa Valley Way.

A grand country homestead set on a scenic 20 hectares of Barossa hills country, the location, views and lifestyle attributes of Abbotsford are world-class.

The property is only minutes from the township of Lyndoch and overlooks the Barossa and Lyndoch Valley’s, neighbouring wineries and an endless tapestry of vineyards.

Being situated in the Barossa Valley, activities related to tourism and the wine industry present the obvious opportunities, however with its versatile facilities, flexible and unique zoning and expansive grounds and grazing land, Abbotsford is well-placed for expansion of the current owners enterprise, repurpose to an alternative venture (e.g. care, retirement living STNC) or privatise for an exclusive, full-time or part family estate.

The current owners developed Abbotsford nearly 20 years ago when they retreated to what they describe as “heaven on earth” after their busy corporate careers in Sydney.

Their dream of operating a boutique guest-house in the country not only became a reality, but a successful business attracting discerning domestic and international guests.

The Abbotsford homestead is a stately Colonial Georgian style residence which under its recent operation as a guest-house, has combined business and pleasure in the most subtle and perfect way. It is a practical home with large comfortable living areas and which allow privacy for guests and hosts alike.

An additional two cottages comprise eight individual suites, each wonderfully appointed and include spacious sleeping/sitting area, large bathroom and ducted reverse cycle air conditioning.

The opportunity that this accommodation presents is limited only by the imagination. With the increasing popularity of remote working formats amongst many industries, as well as the alluring country lifestyle now more desirable than ever in a changing world, properties of the calibre of Abbotsford are well-placed to adapt to a range of business or leisure pursuits.

Abbotsford is especially well-placed to take advantage of new opportunities due to its access to the amenity of the world-renowned Barossa Valley and proximity to Adelaide and its international airport just over one hours’ drive away.

The homestead is surrounded by expansive and well-manicured lawns, meticulously maintained gardens including the 800 roses, elegant stonework and established trees including fruit orchard.
