Blink and you'll miss Penwortham; one of the pretty townships that dot the picturesque Riesling Trail through the Clare Valley - and one of the reasons why this C1850 stone cottage is such a hidden gem, with the rusted-on charm to match its history.
If you've ever ventured to the Mid North, you'd know just how 'postcard' beautiful its rolling hills and vast vineyards really are.
And this freestone home without a neighbour in its sights captures the essence of this world-class wine region so well, it's hard to imagine a better spot for a place to retire or that B&B/holiday home you've always wanted.
The archives plot a storied timeline of a home that has lived through two World Wars, was once owned by the local blacksmith and oozes a Mediterranean feel with airy refurbished rooms and views to the surrounding countryside.
If you feel the sense of obligation to keep it as authentic as possible, you won't be disappointed with this 4-bedroom haven boasting bundles of natural light and the charm that only time can create.
Think dark timber floors, ornate fireplaces, a vintage kitchen, timber-clad and pressed tin ceilings, a freestanding claw bath, French doors and a storybook facade hand-laid in stone.
Step through either set of those French doors to a garden with many perfect spots for a long lunch - lubricated of course by the wine you likely purchased on that trail.
Tantalizingly close to some of South Australia's best vineyards and cellar doors, you can nearly taste the vintage delights!
