Springfield: A destination for life’s luxuries:
As you wind through the elegant avenues of Springfield, a remarkable sense of grandeur envelops you.
Much like a picturesque drive through the hills of Bel Air in Los Angeles, Springfield offers stunning views.
Nestled on the eastern foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges, it boasts some of South Australia’s finest lifestyle estates.
Residents here can truly enjoy the best of both worlds. The lush greenery beautifully integrates with access to top schools and upscale shopping areas.
All of this is conveniently located just 10 minutes from Adelaide’s vibrant CBD.
This rare combination of tranquility and accessibility makes Springfield an ideal location for those seeking excellence in their lifestyle.
Playground for Adelaide’s elite
Stephanie Williams from Williams Real Estate describes Springfield as a private retreat. This area features grand mansions on large properties, tucked away behind street trees.
The gardens here are beautifully maintained, enhancing the serene atmosphere. “The streets are filled with estate properties,” Williams explains. These properties often have not just one, but two or even three street frontages.
Imagine underground wine cellars and extravagant home theatres. Additionally, there are tennis courts, swimming pools, and garages for discerning car collectors.
According to Williams, Springfield is currently seeing an exciting wave of development. One client recently invested around $10 million in a new build. This new build combines old-world charm with contemporary luxury.
“Springfield attracts individuals who truly know how to live well,” Williams continues. It is a destination for both old-money families and new professionals.
Furthermore, jet-setters also find it appealing, as it is a place for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Overlooking this prestigious suburb is the iconic Carrick Hill estate, which was built in the 1930s by Ursula and Edward Hayward. This grand mansion, surrounded by stunning gardens, plays a vital role in Adelaide’s cultural life.
“Carrick Hill reflects the Haywards’ deep love for Adelaide,” explains Susan McCormack, the director of Carrick Hill. They cherished art, entertaining, and nature, creating a space that everyone can now enjoy.
The house, gardens, and surrounding bushland combine to offer visitors something truly special. Within the historic grounds is the newly opened Rozelle’s, a stylish Mediterranean-inspired restaurant with a modern twist.
Its large verandah provides diners with an uninterrupted view of Adelaide’s skyline, matching the estate’s magnificence. “The estate has long been a gathering place, and that tradition continues with Rozelle’s,” McCormack states.
The restaurant brings a service-focused dining experience. The team behind Rozelle’s allows guests to enjoy meals in beautiful surroundings, just as the Haywards once did.
For residents of Springfield, Carrick Hill’s grounds feel like an extension of their backyards. It’s a perfect spot for leisurely strolls, picnics, and participating in various estate events.
“Many locals walk their dogs here or attend our concerts, workshops, and guided tours,” McCormack adds. “In February, we will host our Apple Fete, celebrating our heritage orchard and bringing the community together once again.”
