In a high profile location along the Barossa’s busy tourist trail between Angaston & Nuriootpa, this 11.37 hectare parcel offers great possibilities for the business visionary. Whether for developing a new business venture or to relocate & elevate an existing concern to new heights, this property offers a golden opportunity boasting an original restored Settler’s Cottage & current retail outlet, architecturally designed & fully self contained Gallery with cellar door facility, agricultural shedding & an established vineyard of approx 28 acres.
As a result of great vision since 1888 the property has evolved into the success it is today. The historic Settler’s Cottage constructed of clay, straw (daub & wattle) & rough cut timber from the bush all rendered & limed, housed a family of a dozen children in its earliest days & amazingly, the baker’s oven & wood fired stove still remain intact today. Restored & almost entirely original, the cottage offers a rare glimpse at life gone by & is one of only two Settler’s Cottages open for public viewing in the region, currently a retail outlet with outstanding main road frontage, abundant parking, public restrooms & kitchenette.
Linked by extensive paving & a sheltered courtyard, the 25 square Gallery building to the rear with its stunning cathedral ceiling & upper level balcony are a breathtaking modern compliment to the original heritage Cottage. The huge solid rendered building offers multifaceted potential & would make an ideal restaurant venue or functions centre. A current cellar door facility operates behind a magnificent curved solid Jarrah bar & two separate offices, a store room, public toilets, bathroom & full kitchen ensure this building will adapt to suit a variety of uses, a myriad of business ideas or even a residence.
The vineyard with Riesling vines dating back to the mid 1960′s, is trellised & set up on dripper irrigation, the Shiraz, Chardonnay & Cabernet varieties having been planted from the early 1990′s through to 2003.
More than 700 rose bushes thrive in these rural surrounds & an orchard produces seasonal offerings of avocadoes, apples, figs, olives, limes, mandarins, oranges & cherries to add to the property’s botanical diversity. Abundant water from several sources is a valuable feature with two equipped bores, mains water, 10 000 gallons of rainwater & a license in place to permit irrigation of the vineyard. Three agricultural sheds of varying sizes (one with three phase power) provide ample storage space to the property.
Here’s an opportunity to run with a dream. History & character coupled with modern conveniences, a fabulous venue & location, all elements working together to provide a rare mix that will see your business flourish.
