Tuscan inspired cottage set within established Vineyard producing premium Shiraz since 2008. Nestled within the beautiful rolling hills of historic Vaughan on 2178m2. The current owner, Luigi Bazzani OAM, has sympathetically and meticulously restored the 1800s original cottage from the ground up, taking inspiration from the early Swiss Italian settlers who came to the region in search of gold.
Enter the cottage directly into the sunny living area with gas log fire and intricate timber ceiling. A stone-walled dining area adjoins and features north-facing views overlooking the rose garden and distant hills. An open country style kitchen features an Italian marble-topped island bench on casters with ample drawer and cupboard storage on both sides, an integrated Miele dishwasher and an Emilia gas cooktop with an electric oven. Central to the kitchen and handcrafted by Luigi is the stunning built-in pine sideboard 3.l5 metres in length.
