Open the Door to a Special Home on Two Titles and Five Productive Acres
Built in 1981 by respected master builder Caj Amadio, the solid double-brick residence stands as an enduring expression of a unique era in South Australian architecture. Raked ceilings, exposed brick, subtly split levels, multiple living zones, a sculptural slow-combustion wood heater and a handcrafted timber kitchen give the home an unmistakable sense of warmth and character.
This five-acre holding across two titles offers the breathing room of small acreage living without the inconvenience that usually comes with it. Expressway access, rail, major shopping and beaches all sit minutes away, while the home itself remains cocooned in established gardens and a true sense of rural escape. You're home.
Open the door to:
• Solid double-brick construction throughout, delivering thermal stability, acoustic quiet and the enduring build quality that defines homes of this era
• A gently split-level floorplan that creates distinct living zones while maintaining connection, scale and natural flow
• Multiple living areas, including a sunken lounge anchored by a Scandinavian-inspired slow-combustion wood heater for winter comfort and atmosphere
• Raked ceilings and exposed brickwork that reinforce the home's architectural identity and sense of volume
• Handcrafted timber kitchen and dining zone positioned at the heart of the home, warm, functional and built for daily use rather than display
• Three well-proportioned bedrooms distributed for privacy and flexibility
• Main bedroom with built-in robes and its own adjoining retreat or study, ideal for parents, work-from-home living or quiet separation
• Two bathrooms finished in a practical, period-appropriate palette
• A functional laundry with direct access to outdoor utility areas
• Wide internal circulation and excellent sightlines to gardens from key living spaces
Outdoors:
• Five acres across two titles offering genuine flexibility and future potential
• Established gardens shaped over decades, creating privacy, shelter and a strong connection to nature
• Extensive shedding including a 12 x 7.5m workshop, three 8 x 6m sheds, tractor shed
• Single and double carports with significant vehicle and equipment capacity
• Mature trees including Port Jackson fig, carob, pecan and macadamia, plus a variety of fruit trees
• A hobby vineyard spanning approximately 3.7 acres, planted predominantly to shiraz with additional grenache vines
• Dedicated cellar space ready for wine storage and ageing
• Chook run and productive garden zones supporting a self sufficient lifestyle
• A secluded setting along the old McLaren Vale road where traffic is minimal and birdlife is abundant
Close the door on:
• The assumption that rural living must mean isolation. Here, McLaren Vale's township, expressway, rail, beaches and major services all remain firmly within reach.
• Land without future flexibility. Two separate titles provide optionality that is increasingly difficult to secure this close to McLaren Vale.
• Gardens that feel temporary or ornamental. These grounds are deeply established, productive and proven, shaped over decades rather than staged for sale.
Services:
• Mains water plus approximately 5ML recycled water allocation
• Mains power
• NBN connected
• Septic system
• Bottle gas
Location:
• Positioned just outside McLaren Vale township on the city side
• Minutes to the Southern Expressway for fast Adelaide access
• Close to McLaren Vale railway station
• Easy access to major shopping, schools and everyday services
• A short drive to McLaren Vale beaches and coastline
• Surrounded by world class wineries while remaining quietly tucked away
This is it; a rare opportunity to secure productive land and a home of architectural integrity in one of South Australia's most tightly held regions. Come check it out. You're going to love it.
