Imagine popping your house on the market and over the course of a couple of weeks 600 people go through inspections.
That’s what happened at 41 Sprigg Rd, Crafers West, which has just gone under contract.
One of South Australia’s premier holiday listings – it was the top listing on Australian Luxury Stays – the updated cottage with 116sqm of internal living space attracted enormous interest, selling agent Dale gray of OC said.

“The vendors and purchasers have requested that the price is not disclosed until settlement, but it was an exceptional campaign – we had over 88,000 views on realestate.com.au, close to 600 people through opens and 19 offers in the end,” she said.

“The past couple of weeks has been frenetic and the offers ranged from below the asking price to well in excess of.”

“It was very competitive in the end and it sold well and it sold well over and it’s a great result for them,” Ms Gray said.

“We had lots of interstate and overseas interest and lots of buyers advocates and other agents coming through on behalf of buyers, and it did go to someone who is a South Australian local and they came through the first open, fell in love and stayed the course the whole way through and were unwavering – I’m so happy for them.”
Here’s how the 1088sqm property was featured in The Advertiser’s Real Estate magazine.

Vendors Joyce and her husband Douglas bought the 41 Sprigg Rd property in 2018, attracted by its idyllic location in a private pocket of the Adelaide Hills, and its 360-degree views.
“Every season is different and every season is just beautiful,” Joyce says.

“We’re about a seven-minute walk to the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens, about two minutes from the Heysen Trail, and we’re surrounded by vineyards, so you get these really long views.
“We’ve completely renovated the cottage to take in all of that vista.
“It was a really small, dingy, dilapidated 1910 cottage, and we’ve completely breathed new life into it.
“We’ve only been renting it out since March on Australian Luxury Stays, and we’ve been the most popular property on their site in that time, they tell us.”
