What if your home could also be your business - and your business could be part of the lifestyle you love?
Set in the heart of McLaren Vale, one of South Australia's premier wine and tourism destinations, this remarkable heritage property offers a rare opportunity to combine a beautifully restored home with an established, award-winning boutique bed and breakfast business.
With strong occupancy and an established annual income of approximately $56,000, the B&B provides an immediate income stream from the comfort and privacy of your own property - with genuine scope to expand the business even further.
This is the kind of work-life balance that is increasingly difficult to find: live where people come to holiday, run a proven business from home, and enjoy the freedom of having it all on your doorstep.
And importantly, the accommodation business is completely separate from the main residence, offering exceptional flexibility for both owners and guests.
The beautifully restored, fully self-contained heritage cottage has its own private courtyard and separate access, making it ideal not only as boutique accommodation, but also for a range of alternative uses. Continue operating the established B&B, create a private guest retreat, accommodate extended family, establish consulting rooms, run a home-based beauty or wellness business, or simply enjoy a completely independent space for work, visitors or creative pursuits.
Recognised with a Heritage Award for its outstanding adaptive reuse, this unique cottage is a genuine point of difference - a business that is already operating, already generating income and already benefiting from its enviable McLaren Vale location.
And for those looking to take the business to the next level, approved plans are already in place for an additional cottage, presenting an exciting opportunity to increase accommodation capacity and further develop the property's commercial potential.
LIVE WHERE OTHERS COME TO HOLIDAY
Believed to have been built circa 1851, the main residence is a beautifully restored piece of McLaren Vale history, occupying a generous 1,033sqm corner allotment in the heart of South Australia's world-renowned wine country.
Step outside and you're immersed in everything that makes McLaren Vale such a coveted lifestyle destination. Walk to local cafés, explore celebrated wineries and restaurants, enjoy long lunches, cycle through the vineyards or simply come home and switch off beside your own Tuscan-inspired courtyard pool.
It's a lifestyle where the commute to work can be measured in steps - and where finishing work means you're already home.
Having previously sold this property, I have had the privilege of watching the current owners undertake an extraordinary restoration, carefully preserving the character and history of the original cottage while introducing the comfort, quality and functionality expected of modern living.
Inside, rich large-format Willunga slate floors, impressive 8-inch skirtings, a built-in fireplace, designer Clipsal Iconic Crowne satin champagne switches and exceptional craftsmanship create an immediate sense of quality and authenticity.
The country-style kitchen combines timeless appeal with everyday practicality, featuring stone benchtops, a Smeg range cooker, integrated dishwasher, Puratap and abundant storage.
The flexible floorplan includes two generous bedrooms, a dedicated wine room, separate dining room, home office/study and spacious family room, with the dining room also offering the flexibility to become a third bedroom if required.
At the rear, the home truly comes into its own.
Opening seamlessly to the spectacular indoor-outdoor entertaining area, the expansive alfresco pavilion overlooks the magnificent Naked Water System courtyard pool, with remote-controlled blinds allowing the space to be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
It's the perfect place to entertain guests, relax with family or simply enjoy the privilege of living in one of Australia's most celebrated wine regions.
