Superb mountain views from an elevated house site looking out over an established vineyard, an idylic property indeed. The house is a unique architectural design, cleverly taking advantage of the fantastic vistas, and it includes a spacious Ingrid Geldorf designed kitchen that flows to generous dining and lounge. The interior spaces have high ceilings with tongue and groove timber above the kitchen and dining areas, creating a classy spacious feel. Feature stonework surrounding an open fireplace adds to the timeless ambience, and a woodburner provides the essential country heating. There are two bedrooms with ensuites and a third currently used as an office. The flow to the outdoor areas from the living space is excellent and the extensive sunny decking is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of the vineyards superb wine and take in the view over the vines to the southern alps and the iconic Deans peaks.

The well established vineyard has been meticulously cared for and is offered in grand order.  Most of the 16 hectares has been planted and the varieties include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Gewerztraminer, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. 

There is a top terrace and a lower terrace providing a variety of terroir. The immediate area has a history of enjoying an air flow down the valley with little incidence of frost, and production has been very healthy.

Water is by way of a substantial local water scheme serviced from a large nearby dam, providing a share in the supply that is considered to be abundant. 

There has been extensive plantings and landscaping around the home including fruiting olive trees, natives and walkways.  A substantial barn, a short walk from the house, serves as garaging and storage for the essential vineyard equipment.
