About Elizabeth Raupach
I am a retired arts administrator and my husband manages Coriole, the family owned winery, which is 10 minutes drive away from our home at Sandalwood. We are pleased to be able to host guests in our converted shearing shed on our vineyard property. We love gardening and have orchards, vegetable gardens, ornamental gardens and a fledgling arboretum. Guests are welcome to explore the whole property, which is also home to some chooks, pigs and sheep (as well as kangaroos).
Elizabeth Raupach purchased this cabin in 2010
Why Elizabeth Raupach chose The Range
We moved to Sandalwood in 2010 after living nearby at Coriole, the family winery, for many years. We love the peace and quiet of this secluded part of the world.
What makes this cabin unique
The property has wonderful views from the hill, especially at sunset. We have large landscaped gardens around our own house which is across the orchard paddock from the shearing shed. The 12 acres of vines grow a number of warmer climate varieties (sangiovese, prosecco, barbera, picpoul and nero d'avola.) The atmospheric disused shearing shed was fun to convert - and it has been a great way to be able to share this beautiful region with our guests. We opened the Sandalwood Shearing Shed in 2016. Feedback from guests has been very positive. Guests have told us that they love the wood burning heater in winter, sitting on the deck at dusk, the peace and quiet, the morning birdsongs and the hillside walks to watch the sunset ..... as well as the proximity to wineries and restaurants.
