Set proudly on a generous 924m² corner allotment, this distinguished Circa 1914 Ex Station Master's Residence is far more than a home - it is a treasured piece of McLaren Vale history and an extraordinary lifestyle investment. Privately positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac with only local traffic and overlooking a gum-studded reserve, the property enjoys a tranquil setting while being adjacent to the renowned Shiraz Trail and only a short stroll to local shops, vibrant cafés, acclaimed restaurants and world-famous cellar doors. It is a location that perfectly captures the essence of McLaren Vale living. From the moment you arrive, the well-established gardens, red brick pathways and dry-stack Willunga slate garden walls create a striking first impression. The limestone façade and welcoming front verandah speak beautifully to the home's heritage charm and enduring character. Step inside and discover soaring 3-metre ceilings and a thoughtful floorplan that blends timeless elegance with everyday comfort. A separate entrance leads to two spacious front bedrooms, including a main suite with built-in robes and its own split system air conditioning. As you move down the central hallway, you are welcomed into a formal lounge with gas heating, flowing seamlessly to an adjacent formal dining room - equally suited as a home office or private library retreat. The well-appointed kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring marble benchtops and floor tiles, a 900mm oven, dishwasher, large butler's sink and ample cupboard storage. It overlooks an additional living/family room complete with gas heating and split system air conditioning for year-round comfort. Large picture windows frame the lush rear garden, while sliding glass doors open to a tranquil outdoor garden room - the perfect space to entertain guests or simply relax and soak in the serenity. Further along the hall, the conventional bathroom exudes character with its freestanding claw-footed bathtub and pressed metal feature walls. A rear bedroom offers built-in robes, split system air conditioning and bi-fold glass doors opening to a private patio. Wine lovers will appreciate the cellar - an ideal space to store and showcase a collection of local vintages. Outside, the rare and expansive yard provides a private sanctuary with sweeping lawns, mature plantings, established trees and a variety of fruit trees. Side access leads to a powered garage with additional off-street parking, while a garden shed and greenhouse add further versatility. Lovingly maintained and rich in authentic character, this remarkable residence represents a rare opportunity to secure an iconic home in one of South Australia's most celebrated wine regions.
