A hugely appealing lifestyle all year round, by winter the home is cosy and warm, in summer cool and relaxing. During the colder months cuddle up in front of one of the many romantic fireplaces and share a bottle of locally produced wine or curl up with a book and enjoy the winter sun streaming into the atrium. When the weather is warm, immerse yourself in the pretty cottage gardens, relax on the verandah, enjoy the company of friends and family in the outdoor entertaining area and watch the children chasing around the garden.

Stroll into Willunga town and browse around the charming shops and cafes, wander the farmers market on a Saturday morning, visit one of the many surrounding cellar doors and sample local wines to stock up your extensive wine cellar. Lifestyle opportunities like this rarely present themselves. This is really something special, a unique piece of history, beautifully maintained and preserved yet with all the 21st century conveniences you need.
