Description
Established in 1846 by the pioneering Sporn family, Willowsporn offers a captivating glimpse into early rural life in the Barossa. Set just minutes from Nuriootpa, close to the picturesque hamlet of Light Pass, this remarkable property blends rich heritage with timeless charm in an idyllic country setting.
From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is no ordinary property. An eclectic cluster of original outbuildings—crafted from stone, timber, iron, and pug—tell the story of generations past and the self-sufficient lifestyle of early settlers. These structures, steeped in character, provide a wealth of potential (STCC) for creative pursuits, artisan workshops, or simply preserving an irreplaceable piece of history.
At the heart of the property stands the enchanting farmhouse, showcasing traditional Germanic architecture and time-honoured building techniques. Extended over generations, the home offers a flexible floorplan with generously sized rooms that can adapt to a variety of living arrangements. A standout feature is the expansive country kitchen, added around 1905, where the original wood stove sits proudly alongside modern conveniences including a contemporary oven, cooktop and dishwasher.
Enter through elegant double doors into a sun-drenched sitting room and be greeted by ornate ceilings, decorative chandeliers, and heritage details that carry throughout. The main bathroom features a beautiful clawfoot tub, in keeping with the home’s timeless aesthetic.
Surrounded by established, beautifully maintained gardens—previously showcased as part of the renowned Open Garden Scheme—this property invites you to unwind and appreciate its serene ambiance. With 100,000L of rainwater storage, a productive orchard, chicken coop, and sweeping views over neighbouring vineyards, it offers a lifestyle both sustainable and inspiring.
‘Willowsporn’ is more than a home—it’s a legacy. A rare opportunity to own a significant piece of the Barossa’s story, where history, character, and possibility all come together.
