Collingrove Homestead
A large house built of local stone with a slate roof. Collingrove Homestead provides a fine example of how our pioneers created a new Australian architecture which still retains the Old Country atmosphere of their origin. Set in landscaped grounds.
Located in the famous Barossa Valley wine district of South Australia, home to some of the world's best wines.
History
Conceived as a little piece of England and commenced in 1856, Collingrove was the Angas family home and headquarters for their considerable pastoral interests. This family made significant contributions to the growth and development of South Australia from its earliest days through political involvement, pastoral endeavor and philanthropic gesture. Collingrove was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1976 by Ronald Angas.

The Trust wishes to express its sincere gratitude to the Commonwealth Government for making funds available under the National Building – Economic Stimulus Plan also known as the “Jobs Fund”. These works were well beyond the financial capability of the Trust and could not have been undertaken without the support of Government.
