164 Hunt Road McLaren Vale SA 5171

Every once in a while a piece of McLaren Vale heartland frees up, allowing a new chapter to begin for someone in the region. Lot 4 Hunt Road presents an opportunity to build your dream home surrounded by vines in the very centre of the region.

This beautiful 11.71 acre site is located on the edge of McLaren Flat township, touching fingers with iconic vineyards which underpin local brands such as Wirra Wirra, Pertaringa and Pennys Hill. The property features 11 acres of quality McLaren Vale Shiraz and Grenache, a significant portion (2.96 acres) dating back to 1970 and presenting in the highly desirable bush vine habit. The premium grapes currently have a home with a high profile local producer (to be disclosed upon request), who has made clear his interest in continuing to purchase into the future.

As you travel through the vineyard from Hunt Road, passing the historic tractor / utility shed, the property reveals its very own winter creek, thick with wildflowers and studded with mighty river redgums. Hidden from the road beyond the creek lies a little higher ground, currently home to a rustic almond grove, still bearing fruit and full of birds. Fruiting almonds, olives, pomegranate and peaches are dotted throughout the property, adding diversity to its abundant offerings and reinforcing the lifestyle on offer here.

The property offers the perfect site for the development of a private, state of the art home, and/or award winning cellar door (subject to council consent), taking in the local vista as well as the starry skies at night. Mains water is already established on the property, employed to irrigate the trellised portion (7.9 acres) of the vineyard. While mains power is currently absent, a brand new power line has been established to the front of the property, and an SA Power Network enquiry reveals a very reasonable quote to connect (provided upon request).

There are few properties of such fine quality and positioning in the region, and the release of Lot 4 Hunt Road to market offers a truly rare opportunity for someone to peg down a position in the future of McLaren Vale.
