Karin Adcock, founder of jewellery chain Pandora Australia, sold her 1840s Tarana, NSW Bathurst district rural retreat, Mutton Falls which went to auction last weekend.

Set on nearly a hectare of Central Tablelands country garden in the Tarana Valley, about two and a half hours from Sydney, Adcock bought the property in 2010 with friends Jeanine and Sebastian Bardon for extended weekends away, paying $910,000 in 2011 from Dennis Danna. 

The Bardon's own retail business Bardon Design, which developed stores for the Danish jewellery brand.

Nicolette van Wijngaarden of Unique Estates secured $1,035,000 for the restored and extended 1840s homestead with rammed earth and wattle daub timber facade.

Mutton Falls, accessed via an avenue of poplar trees, was built by Richard Mutton for the family, including sister Anne Webb who managed a general store on the main route to Bathurst
