Step into a unique and exceptional offering in Mintaro, a historic village nestled among the vineyards in the Clare Valley. This restored 1868 stone cottage, thoughtfully extended by a renowned architect, is set within mature gardens and vineyards, providing a lifestyle of space, privacy, and tranquility just 90 minutes from Adelaide.

The three-bedroom residence is accessed via a Claret Ash-lined driveway shaded by trees, revealing a home that blends historic character with contemporary comfort. Original Mintaro slate pathways and detailing across the front verandah and deck lead into a residence designed to embrace the surrounding vineyards, gardens, and rolling hills.

At the heart of the home, an open plan kitchen and dining area stretches beneath raked ceilings, framed by floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The kitchen features premium appliances including a six-burner cooktop, oven, dishwasher, and a breakfast bar island. A rear laundry doubles as a butler's pantry. The dining area opens seamlessly to an elevated deck and expansive outdoor patio at the back, where a water fountain framed by climbing vines creates a shaded, serene setting for entertaining or quiet reflection.

Adjacent to this, a lounge and sitting area surrounded by glass provide framed views that resemble living artworks. A formal dining room or third bedroom with a fireplace offers a more intimate entertaining option, while the raked ceilings throughout enhance light and volume, creating spaces that feel open yet warm.

The primary suite is a sanctuary of comfort and light, featuring an elevated bathtub, built-in robe, private access to the front of the house, and an ensuite, providing a retreat with garden outlooks and complete privacy. A second bedroom near the front verandah enjoys its own outlooks, while a second bathroom with underfloor heating serves guests or family.

Outside, discover a heated, solar-assisted swimming pool with timber decking and glass fencing offering uninterrupted views of vineyards and the surrounding landscape. A separate storage and pool equipment room enhances functionality. The property also includes a dam, solar power for the home, and three air-conditioning units for year-round comfort. A double garage with a roller door is located at the rear, ensuring both convenience and privacy.
