Step out of the lounge and into your vineyard
The dream of running your own winery from home could be a reality in this luxurious McLaren Flat residence.
Looking to make a lifestyle change? This luxurious country home, complete with its own award-winning vineyard, makes for a ‘grape’ opportunity.
Set on over four hectares in McLaren Flat, the property at 287 McLaren Flat Rd, boasts a grand four-bedroom home, a separate self-contained studio, a boutique vineyard and a spacious workshop too.
Developed by a local winemaker in 1999, the vineyard features 2.7ha of vines, made up of Shiraz (1.8ha total) and Cabernet Sauvignon (0.9ha total). Drip-irrigated, the boutique vineyard has been producing award-winning wine.
Built in 2018, the 362sqm residence has three living areas with an open floorplan. The light-filled areas with floor-to-ceiling windows offer vineyard and sunset views. Two sets of double sliding doors lead to the undercover outdoor entertaining area.
The kitchen with its stone benchtops, state of the art appliances and a Butler’s pantry will delight home chefs.
The master bedroom, which opens to another private outdoor area, has built-in cabinetry including walk-in wardrobe, plantation shutters and large ensuite with twin vanities, a shower with twin shower heads and a separate toilet.
If you are looking to host guests or want a separate teenager’s retreat, the property’s self-contained studio is ideal. It also offers access to the undercover entertainment area.
Selling agent Nick van Vliet of Ouwens Casserly, who is presenting the property to market with co-agent John Lewis, said the lifestyle property was custom-built by the vendors.
“It is a lifestyle property with a premium vineyard and the advantage of a separate accommodation,” Mr Vliet said.
“The home was custom-built and offers a cool floorplan that makes the most of the stunning views.
“Whether you are looking for a large family home, or luxury holiday home with the taxation benefits of running your own vineyard, this stunning property offers it all.”
