THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRODUCE INCOME
8.195 Hectares of flat, income-producing Fleurieu land with proven annual returns, strong infrastructure, and genuine long-term optionality.
Body: Few rural holdings arrive with the commercial clarity of 366 Aldinga Road, Whites Valley.
Set across 8.27 dead-flat Hectares, this working vineyard has supplied fruit to Wirra Wirra's celebrated Church Block label for decades. The opportunity exists for the new owner to negotiate to continue this relationship through negotiation.
Seven productive Hectares 4.7 Hectares in Shiraz, 2.3 Hectares in Cabernet Sauvignon - are irrigated via a bore water licence at 7 Megalitres per acre. There is a bore water licence for 7mL/acre to irrigate the vineyard, the vendor owns a water licence for life, which can be transferred, however the value is priceless. The 150mm piped bore pump operates 50 metres underground, having recently been updated to a cost of $30,000.
A secondary domestic and stock water licence is free and unlimited, with the second meter being read annually. Mains water is connected but has never been drawn upon, resulting in nil SA Water usage charges. A 130,000-litre rainwater tank services the residence independently, with a reverse osmosis filtration system ensuring drinking water quality throughout.
Infrastructure has been built to a commercial standard. A 21m × 12m steel shed - with 6m centre clearance and 4.2m to gutter - accommodates large machinery and is complemented by a chemical shed accredited to Sustainable Winegrowing Australia standards. Three-phase power serves both the shed and the dwelling. A 7.5kW solar panels reduces the energy and living costs further.
The three-bedroom residence presents comfortably, with a centrally positioned slow-combustion wood heater that distributes warmth throughout the home, evaporative cooling, and continuous gas hot water. Outdoors, a large, covered entertainment area with a water feature overlooks manicured gardens that attract regular wildlife - kangaroos and koalas among them - reflecting the quality of the surrounding native environment. The vendor has indicated willingness to remove the vines at a negotiated cost for buyers with an alternate land use vision.
Positioned 2.6km from Willunga and 6.4km from the coast, on dead-flat land with genuine land-banking potential, this is a generational rural asset entering the market for the first time in thirty years.
THE HOME BUYERS DREAM
Thirty years of stewardship. 8.27ha of private Fleurieu land, a working vineyard, and a garden grown from the ground up - 2.6km from Willunga, 6.4km from the sea.
Body: There are properties that feel lived in, and there are properties that feel earned. 366 Aldinga Road, Whites Valley, is firmly the latter.
Over thirty years, the current owners planted every vine, cultivated every tree, and built an estate that operates as both a genuine business and a deeply private home. The result is something rare on the Fleurieu - a working rural lifestyle property where the land carries its own weight, and where weekend mornings might begin beside a slow-combustion wood heater that radiates warmth through every room, or in a garden of lemons, pears, peaches, bay leaf, and walnut, where the vegetable patch reflects a lifetime of quiet, patient care.
The gardens themselves are a feature of genuine distinction - manicured, irrigated, and alive with the kind of character that only decades of attention can produce. A large covered outdoor entertaining area with a water feature extends the home naturally into the landscape, and the property draws regular visits from kangaroos and koalas, a reminder of just how removed from the ordinary this address truly is.
7 Productive Hectares, 4.7 Hectares of Shiraz and 2.3 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon vines are under currently under contract to Wirra Wirra - one of McLaren Vale's most iconic producers, and the home of Church Block. The vineyard essentially manages itself, and the infrastructure is quietly impressive: a 21m × 12m three-phase shed, bore water irrigation with a secondary unlimited domestic licence, a 7.5kW solar panels, and mains water connected but never needed. A reverse osmosis water filtration system ensures the quality of every glass drawn from the 130,000-litre rainwater tank.
The home itself sits comfortably in its setting with a centrally positioned slow combustion wood heater that distribute warmth throughout the home s- three generous bedrooms, a two-way bathroom with spa, evaporative cooling, and continuous gas hot water. There is scope to improve, and a willing palette.
Beyond the boundary, the Fleurieu delivers readily. Willunga is 2.6km away - the markets, the cafés, the calm of a town that still knows what it is. The sea is a short drive of 6.4km. A dedicated bike trail connects the property through Willunga, McLaren Vale, and Seaford all the way to Colonnades. The Wave Park, the cellar doors, and the Southern Expressway are all within comfortable reach.
8.27 hectares. Flat. Private. Productive. And available for the first time in a generation.
