If you’d stood on this property in the early 1840s, you’ve would’ve overlooked early Silesian settlers planting the first vineyards in Australia and building their stone cottages, some of which still stand today. While more modern houses and different vineyard practices feature in today’s landscape, 186 Basedow Road, Bethany continues to provide breathtaking views over the historic landscape, timeless vineyards and the Barossa ranges.
Situated on a large, but manageable 12.56 hectares (31.03 acres), the property has property has been in the same family for several generations.
