Chance to own a chateau with a link to former queen in the heart of South Australia's Barossa Valley wine region

A tourist attraction with a royal link located in the heart of South Australia’s Barossa Valley wine region is for sale.

Barossa Chateau was once the home of a wine baron but is now used for luxury accommodation, wine tasting, high teas and events.

The 3.64 hectare property at 35 Hermann Thumm Drive, Lyndoch, includes The Residence – a luxury villa on the second floor of the chateau overlooking a famed rose garden opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.

Homburg Real Estate agent Rohan Semmler says Barossa Chateau offers buyers the chance to set up a home and business in the world-renowned Barossa Valley.

“Imagine waking up each morning to the charm of French-inspired architecture, stunning rose gardens and endless vineyard vistas,” Semmler says.

“Barossa Chateau offers you more than just a property. It’s an experience and an opportunity to seamlessly blend lifestyle and business.”

The property includes private wine tasting spaces, an impressive grand ballroom and art gallery, and dining room offering Devonshire and high teas.

There is also the picturesque rose garden opened by Queen Elizabeth II.

“Her Majesty spent five hours enjoying the gardens, the art and a formal gala lunch to celebrate the Barossa and its fine heritage,” Semmler says

The chateau is being marketed as a three-bedroom, three-bathroom offering but also provides business potential.

Semmler said the chateau was first built as a home by wine baron Hermann Thumm, who lived there with his wife Inge. The two met Queen Elizabeth when she toured the rose garden.

The current owners offered it for sale last year along with the neighbouring Lyndoch Hill hotel and restaurant.

The hotel and restaurant ended up selling separately for an undisclosed sum, leaving the chateau now for sale with expectations of about $6 million.

Semmler says the chateau was once sought after as a wedding venue but now housed a gift shop and hosted Devonshire and high teas, while the upper floor was used as luxury accommodation.

The chateau is surrounded by the beauty of the Barossa Valley and its world-renowned wineries, restaurants and trails.
