With a lifetime on the land and an extensive pastoral network, Sam has a deep understanding of what's required to achieve a premium rural property result.

The Hayes family motto is "The Future Belongs to Those Who Plan for It," and Sam applies that same ethos at Toop+Toop Rural, helping farming families set up the future they deserve.

The Hayes family have been breeding and racing horses in the Barossa Valley since 1965, so Sam is well aware of the importance of having the right land.

Over the past four years Sam Hayes has become one of South Australia's leading rural and lifestyle property agents.. a reputation built on the trust of the families who work with him.

Real estate is one of life's most important journeys, and it is rarely just about the property itself, but about the future, the family, and often the greatest asset one owns. Problems along the way are inevitable, but solving them in a calm, friendly manner is what makes the real difference to the whole experience of buying or selling your biggest asset.

Paired with genuine authenticity and transparency, it's this clarity and care that consistently delivers the best outcomes for the people he works with.

After completing a degree in Agricultural Business, Sam worked in Wine Marketing and Public Relations at BRL Hardy before returning to the family business in the Barossa. He held sales and marketing roles before ascending to Partner and Managing Director of renowned Lindsay Park Stud in 2005.

With help of Nicky Orchard as Business Manager and Sean Anderson driving marketing and media Sam’s goal is to ensure every listing is backed by the systems, presentation, and the follow-through his clients expect.
