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.
