An amazing listing in South Australia offers endless possibilities.
The family home with a huge maze in the grounds is on the market in gorgeous, rural Mintaro, South Australia.
The address, about a 90-minute drive north of Adelaide, near the picture perfect Clare Valley (also known as Riesling country), is a combination of business and residential.
Agency Toop Toop Rural’s Sam Wark and Sam Hayes are handling the campaign for Mintaro Maze. The 1950s-built house – designed in a country style, with four bedrooms – is available along with the maze and café, or can be purchased separately.
Agents describe the property as an “eye-catching estate” which “includes a natural labyrinth of over 800 resilient conifers”.
The maze is adjacent to the house and includes an event space, artwork, sculptures, fountains, covered zones, a viewing platform and an eatery with outdoor seating.
Mintaro is an old village and tourists make it a priority for great wine accompanied by pretty scenery and rich history.
For visitors who wish to cellar-door hop are wineries in neighbouring Clare, Auburn and Sevenhill.
Tourism SA features the maze on its website, inviting explorers to experience the “twists and turns”.
The town does not have enough sales to yield a median house price in Domain’s House Price Report for June 2024. However, the median in the Clare Valley is $460,000 – up 21.8 per cent year-on-year and 47.2 per cent over five years.
Named Tumbleweed Cottage, the property is currently a bed and breakfast and perfect for owner occupiers who wish to be on the edge of town, in the peace and quiet.
An 1850’s settler cottage is also on the grounds, with the substantial main home perfect for many uses – a country retreat, family base or accommodation in wine country.
The homestead was built in 2007 and looks out over the rolling green, wrapped completely by a deep, bull-nose verandah.
