c1860 – Beauty, Diversity & Commerciality on 82 Acres Big Gum Grazing – Truffiere – Two Income Producing Shop Fronts

Lansdown Homestead brings a unique opportunity for the hobby farmer, gastronome or entrepreneur with South Australia’s youngest-producing truffle orchard – its healthy, 4-year-old French Oak trees occupying one hectare of this picturesque, 33-hectare lifestyle stage.

And just 28 minutes shy of the Barossa Valley wine region, it proves there’s more than one indulgence to emerge from French Oak…

In the 1860s, the property flourished as the town’s flour mill with street-facing stables. Today, it serves as a sympathetically transformed 5-bedroom residence, the renovated flour mill now two shopfronts bringing in reliable income from long-term hair salon and bakery tenants.

Which means the only essential labour, is love.

Yet, there’s potential to follow your cellar door or distillery dream, to market produce grown on site from the truffiere, the 42-tree fruit orchard, or to utilise the 83 acres of gently undulating and arable grazing land, dotted with ancient red gums.

And from the Torrens Creek crossing the tree-lined arrival to the event-worthy landscape and modern timeless interiors, every inch of renewed ‘Lansdown Homestead’ is beyond recognition and well worth a tour:

Stone-walled formal gardens surround the home, and blazoned by sunlight, guest bedrooms form wings on both south and western corners.

A sophisticated living room bonds the zones together; the foyer staircase – salvaged from the NSW Art Museum – is a ‘Gone with the Wind’ interpretation beneath sparkling chandeliers and soaring pressed tin ceilings.

The new vogue kitchen drifts guests from its social space to the speak-easy vibes of a 2nd living room and wood fire; from here, you’ll usher dinner crowds to the weathered verandah in ambient candlelight.

A loft boudoir escapes to a dressing room and designer ensuite, as it basks in the orchard views and rural feel you came for, and throughout, the boutique B&B vibes are as strong as the scent eagerly traced by truffle dogs.

Offering mains and rainwater supply, a well, 4 dams, fencing to 5 paddocks, 3 fox-proof chook pens, plus ample machinery shedding and demand both locally and interstate for quality truffles, there’s merit in tapping into the export market or, simply sitting back and letting the commercial shopfronts supplement your lifestyle.

Live on your terms, in Lansdown luxury.
