Looking for a pre-matched house and land package? You’ve come to the right place. These house and land packages in Adelaide stretch from every corner of the North, the South and in the Hills.
Beautiful countryside, cute heritage, and wine – that’s what makes Gawler house and land a top-tier Adelaide pick. Located 42 kilometres from the CBD (that’s pretty close for country vibes, especially with a train line directly into the city!), it’s a historic town right at the gateway to the world-renowned Barossa Valley.
Life with a house and land in Gawler is a bit too fairytale to be believable, mostly because it doesn’t feel like you’re in Adelaide. With the river, rolling hills, and old buildings, it’s more like somewhere in Europe. And there’s still access to all the conveniences, like several shopping centres, schools, and medical facilities. Because you’ll be living in a tourist destination, you get more than the usual country pub, with Gawler house and land dishing up loads of cafes and restaurants – although, if you’re craving a pint and pub feed, the Prince Albert Hotel is a classic spot.
Did you know you can get a home of your own with a couple of grand in savings, pending you meet a few criteria? No - well, now you do!
