183 Wilson Road

Wangandary VIC 3678

The vineyard alone of 4.7 hectares, planted in 1996, has Shiraz and Merlot vines and regularly produces an annual vintage of twenty-five tonnes plus of grapes with regular customers available to purchase the grapes at circa $1000 a tonne.
The freehold area gently slopes from Wilson Road up to the Warby Range National Park. From where the homestead is situated it offers an outstanding district perspective with breathtaking views of the Victorian Alpine region and high-country including Mounts Buffalo, Hotham, Stirling, Buller, Bogon and Feathertop.
The home built in 1998 also enjoys magnificent views across to Beechworth and Chiltern Mount Pilot National Park and beyond. With its quality architectural design, the home offers expansive, light filled living spaces with a multi-level construction.
Each of the three spacious family bedrooms are beautifully appointed with built in facilities, en suites, and outstanding views with private entrances to the surrounding verandas. The copious lounge and dining spaces, a quality kitchen, and an underground cellar with a five hundred plus bottle racking system delivers a residence perfect for entertaining and family life.
On the upper level is a mezzanine space ideal for relaxation, while an office ideally suited to working from home adjoins the main entry.
The home has evaporative cooling and ducted gas heating system with alternative heating also supplied by the centrally positioned combustion wood heater.
It is adjoined by an in-ground swimming pool, established native bird attracting gardens, and productive orchard and vegetable plantings, chicken run and garden sheds.
There is a double car garage and double car carport under the roof line, while there are 120,00 litres of rainwater storage making the home efficient to run.
There is a substantial steel, high internal clearance winery, machinery and workshop building measuring 24 metres by 9 metres with power and concrete floor, and supports a 9kW solar array on its roof. This building also houses the on property cellar door and adjoining commercial size operational cool room suitable for multiple cold storage usage with forklift access.
The mature established vines are drip irrigated from a 15 megalitre on property dam. A 120 metre deep bore equipped with submersible electric pump and 20 megalitre annual water licence affords a further reliable, year round water supply.
The vines have been machine harvested while a purchaser of the property can elect to be as hands on as required. There are contract grape management services, such as pruning, vine management and contract winemaking, available locally.
There is plenty of scope to expand the vineyard area perhaps with plantings of newer highly fashionable white or red Italian or Spanish varietals. The vineyard is recognised as operating within the esteemed and historic Glenrowan Wine Region, which boasts an active and welcoming vignerons' association.
Alternatively, a livestock enterprise can be continued on the fenced pastured paddock areas of the holding.
The vendors say that that the home sited to the rear of the property and accessed by a long driveway is a delight to live in with its light filled and spacious rooms and beautiful surrounds that have met their active lifestyle including walking, mountain biking and bee keeping. In winter, there are the snow-capped alpine peaks on the horizon that are within easy driving distance.
Silent Range Estate property is in a rural precinct preferred by professional couples and families and is valued as the golden mile for rural lifestyle family holdings. This property offers a superlative location with a quality family home and the vineyard and winery is well established and can be continued and expanded.
The vendors have not recently actively encouraged the Air B&B or B&B potential of the home, which is ideally set up for this application, so that is another revenue stream for the purchaser to pursue.
