Set across approximately 36 hectares (89 acres) in the heart of one of South Australia's most desirable wine and lifestyle regions, "Sandalwood" is a rare and distinctive offering; combining a substantial residence, established gardens, vineyard, and income-producing accommodation within a single private estate. This is a property that offers considerably more than acreage and a home, it is a rare convergence of privacy, lifestyle, landscape, wine country heritage, and income potential, rarely found together within McLaren Vale.
At its heart, Sandalwood is a substantial private estate set among established gardens, offering the scale, seclusion and character of a significant family estate all within easy reach of Adelaide and the Fleurieu Peninsula coastline. The land extends high up into the Range and is accessed by a track that winds through the trees to the top offering exquisite views across McLaren Vale, the Fleurieu Peninsula and the ocean with endless opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.
Substantial four/five bed house built in the 1950's from solid stone, which has been gracefully upgraded over the years.

Sandalwood's grounds are its defining feature. An impressive arboretum which has been curated by the current owners, a Japanese-inspired garden with water feature, substantial vegetable gardens and an orchard brings exceptional character and beauty to the property. The extensive areas of revegetated land create a private, environmentally rich setting, home to abundant native vegetation and wildlife, with sweeping views across the Vale and beyond.
The property benefits from approximately 12 acres of established vineyards that have been planted for Coriole Wines and will be subject to a lease or long term grape contract to Coriole Vineyards (subject to agreement).
This established vineyard connects Sandalwood directly to the internationally recognised McLaren Vale wine region, an authentic drawcard for lifestyle purchasers, wine enthusiasts, and industry participants alike.
A separate short-stay accommodation offering currently generates Airbnb income, adding an established commercial return to the property while providing genuine flexibility for continued tourism use and guest accommodation.
Sandalwood presents a genuinely rare opportunity to secure a significant private estate in one of Australia's premier wine regions.
