Open the Door to "The Vintage" Circa 1850's Manor House on Almost an Acre

Offers Close Tue, 13th Oct - 1pm (USP) With the presence of a country manor and an outlook that could only belong to wine country, "The Vintage" captures something quintessentially McLaren Vale. Dating to circa 1850, with latter additions, this historic home sits amongst established gardens on the township's rural fringe, offering a generous slice of the region's landscape and a wonderfully personal connection to its past. That connection carries through Baltic pine floors, lofty ceilings and fireside rooms, while a superb kitchen and contemporary garden pavilion bring an equally considered approach to life today. Four bedrooms leave room for the guests, productive gardens contribute to the table, and a dedicated wine room supplies the occasion. Here, the home and its surroundings share the same appreciation for living well. And live well you will.
