Boutique Hills Vineyard, Winery & Cellar Door
Work the Dream In The Beautiful Adelaide Hills.
If you have a passion for wine and are keen to cater for weddings and functions, this is a great opportunity, the wine side of things is already established, and the current vendors are turning down constant requests for special events and weddings.
Comprising 9.3 acres in a picturesque valley only 14km from Adelaide’s CBD with established winery, vineyard, cellar door plus a permit to make ale and cider as well.
On offer is a very serious but manageable business opportunity with the chance to also make it a lifestyle opportunity with excellent new house sites or if you are a keen renovator, renovate the derelict 1900′s villa. The winery & vineyard are situated in the dress circle of the Adelaide Hills, complete with a cellar door (one of the closest to the Adelaide CBD). An elevated site 500m above sea-level with good rainfall, a solid dam & excellent bore of enviable purity. No effort has been spared with substantial improvements to all aspects of the property but with enough scope to cater for the buyer’s own dreams.
The vineyard, of approx 4.5 acre, was established in 2004. The current owners developed the vineyard with an emphasis on small quantities of both red & white varieties, which are produced, processed & sold on-site via the cellar door, mail order and at special events. White varieties currently include Sauvignon Blanc, Arneis & Riesling, & reds include Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Saperavi & Carmenere. A 4000 gal/hr bore forms the basis of the irrigation system with water quality testing at only 460 ppm.
The business includes one of the very few permits to make wine, cider & ale in the Adelaide Hills. The Producer’s Licence & planning approvals allow for up to 200 tonnes of fruit to be processed and the site has potential to expand the current facility and to install a brewery or cidery.
The cellar door is a clever conversion of the former stone stables built in the 1880′s with authentic features such as lime-washed walls, exposed native-timber beams & Baltic ceiling with loft above. Also incorporated into the winery, contained within the large 25m x 23m shed, is a separate workshop/laboratory, equipment storage & kitchen storage area. Complementing the winery is a derelict return verandah stone villa c.1900 with immense potential as a B&B facility, caf, office or possible residence, but in current need of complete restoration.
An excellent site for a new residence with elevated water & superb valley views has been located (stcc) near the main entrance & close to all services. With the original 1880′s stone building, set amongst 9.3 acres of the most picturesque landscaped gardens blended with established exotic, native, fruit & nut trees, this has got to be the perfect business/lifestyle investment. Enter via the narrow oak tree lane, past a romantic lake setting surrounded by floral garden terraces, towards the stunning valley views and you are there.
