Saint-Clar Estate - 35.21ha | 87 Acres
Perfectly elevated, yet gently undulating country, in the very heartland of three large vineyard estates (including Longview Vineyard), a combined total vineyard area of approximately 150ha - 370 acres.
Saint-Clar Estate are now well known Nationally and Internationally for their award-winning wines.
The Provincial style home offers huge well proportioned living over two levels. The kitchen has been extensively upgraded with stone benchtops, modern splashback and a brand-new stove (self-cleaning) with dual gas and electricity, large walk-in pantry. There are four bedrooms, three bathrooms (each with underfloor heating and heated towel rails), study, sauna and spacious wine cellar.
The huge living area features cosy slow combustion log fire and enjoys wonderful open predominantly Northerly views. Family entertainment is expansive, with the vine clad pergola, and the outdoor alfresco area which adjoins the inground pool. The pool filtration equipment is brand new; the pool is salt chlorinated and solar heated, operated and controlled by an App.
There is a separate studio for accommodation with bathroom facilities and private courtyard. The studio has been totally renovated and could easily accommodate a kitchenette for extended family, or interstate guests.
The residence and studio were totally renovated in 2018/2019. There is also a large Daiken reverse cycle air conditioning system, ducted throughout.
The main residence can be separated from the farm via the remote entrance gates. Furthermore, access via stone stairs and stone walled gardens compel your vision to the imposing central Obelisk, the profusion of roses and garden beds, the mature European trees, all overlook the huge picturesque lake with central fountain - ideal for weddings and functions!
The cottage (or guest house) offers 3 bedrooms, 3 ensuites and a very functional kitchen. There are split systems installed in each bedroom. The residential configuration is such that flexibility is given to 3 separate areas although invariably there are two main areas of which two bedrooms plus the kitchen/living are on offer and a separate entrance for the third independent bedroom. The relatively new rear decking offers views to lake Alexandrina. At harvest times this area can be set aside for staff. The cottage is on the Stayz platform/website and can be leased/rented regularly plus the bonus of accommodation flow on from the weddings/receptions/events conducted at the adjoining Longview Estate.
The vineyard offers a total area of 24ha with approximately 64,000 vines, across what will be ten grape varieties (with the 1.78ha of Cabernet Sauvignon being replaced October/November 2024) with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier*. Existing varieties include Tempranillo, Viognier, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Mencia, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. *(Meunier one of 3 varieties for Champagne).
The notional yield is 200 tonnes per vintage, thus 8-10 tonnes per hectare, whilst maintaining the quality of the fruit. The present owners have 10 buyers of the fruit from Corporate, to the boutique buyers, the resultant mix (very much in demand) produces an average price per tonne of $2,600.00.
