Rarely do lifestyle and business opportunities of this calibre and in such a beautiful river and wine region surface in the market.
Montgomery's Hill, home to the multi-award winning Montgomery Hill Wine label, is an outstanding 22.736ha (56.18ac) property, which has remained in the same family for three generations.
This property offers a select lifestyle where you may opt to lease out the vineyard and simply embrace country living, or take on the Montgomery Hill label license.
Situated on Western Australia's spectacular south coast only 15kms east of historic Albany, it offers extensive frontage, access and views to the ancient and picturesque Kalgan River and includes 10 hectares (25ac) of highly productive vineyard.
Rated five stars by Australian wine maker and senior competition judge James Halliday as an outstanding winery capable of producing wines of an extremely high quality, the Montgomery Hill label boasts a distinguished pedigree.
The property includes a spacious rammed earth cellar door overlooking the river and vineyard, which could remain or potentially be remodelled as a family home, general accommodation or restaurant. Another option would be to build your dream home closer to the river.
Revealing rich loam soils, some areas of sand, good fertilizer history, two dams and permanent soak, this versatile property has flourished in the past. It was initially a potato farm and apple orchard and then became grazing land for livestock until being established as a vineyard in 1995-1996.
Grape varieties now include Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz and Merlot. Producing approximately 850 bottles per tonne equates to some 66,000 bottles or 5,500 cases of wine in average year.
