Captain’s Paddock is an award winning business 8kms north-east of Kingaroy in south east Queensland’s thriving South Burnett region, 2.5 hours drive from Brisbane. The 25 acre property includes 10 acres of chardonnay, shiraz and merlot vines planted in 1995, a cellar door, a fully licensed cafe seating up to 50 people with a refurbished stainless steel commercial kitchen, a bed and breakfast cottage that sleeps four people and a beautiful, modern, family home. The business currently operates 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm and has grown organically over the last decade, tripling turnover in that time. With stunning views over the Booie valley to the Brisbane Ranges, the property is well designed and offers a peaceful escape in beautiful surrounds. The business has a strong brand and has won both tourism and wine awards. Captain’s Paddock enjoys strong local custom as well as being considered a ‘must do’ on the tourism circuit. It is arguably one of Queensland’s most picturesque vineyards and cellar doors.

The vineyard has a fully equipped irrigation system connected to the spring fed bore which is 150 metres deep, of an extremely high quality and is capable of running 1200 litres per hour, 24 hours a day. The wine is currently made under contract by Clovely Estate in nearby Murgon. Included in the sale is an extensive inventory for the vineyard, cafe and bed and breakfast enabling new owners to continue operations immediately. Detailed customer numbers and sales figures are available, with a computer software system to track daily takings included in the sale price. New owners could run the business as is, or grow it through events, evening trade or make the most of an undeveloped five acres with more plantings or more cottages.

The beautiful modern home is architecturally designed and open plan. Inspired by the rolling hills and the relaxed lifestyle in which it finds itself nestled, this striking home offers wonderful accommodation while seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The beautiful landscaping and clever design achieves privacy and comfort. Flooded with natural light, the north-facing living spaces are warmed by the winter sun yet protected and cooled by the garden in summer, with the natural breezes captured and used to great effect. The tasteful stained glass windows create a kaleidoscope of colour that dances on the terracotta tile throughout the house. The B&B cottage could be used as a teenage retreat or granny flat, adding two bedrooms and a bathroom to the house’s accommodation. The views to the east are expansive, without a neighbour in sight.
If you are interested in this unique opportunity, would like your success to be determined by your efforts and relationships with customers rather than office politics, enjoy a glass of your own wine at the end of the day, be part of a vibrant community and enjoy all the benefits that country living delivers, then this property is for you.
