Currently incorporating a boutique olive grove of 500 established trees within its grounds, the house has been exceptionally extended since it was originally built in 1980, resulting in two very different living spaces.
Set in the heart of the McLaren Vale wine region with its spectacular landscape, close proximity to award winning beaches and a wide choice of local amenities, this property provides the ideal opportunity to embrace a fully self sustainable lifestyle in the country.
A stall on the kerbside provides a small income from olive oil produced from the boutique olive grove, cut flowers and seasonal fruit and veg. Solar power, incredible rainwater provision and a variety of home grown produce means you need never worry about bills again.
You are encouraged to call or email Nick van Vliet for more information or to arrange an inspection of this unique and idyllic country home.
