Description
On its 8 hectares (19.76 acres), this elegant lady of the 1900s has distinctively overseen the viticultural & rural progress of Barossa life over the last century from its prominent hilltop position. Pfeiffer House is a majestic matriarch situated on the edge of the revered Marananga & Seppeltsfield wine regions, surrounded by its own 6.4 hectare vineyard with some vines dating back 40 years.
A superb example of the late Victorian era, this bluestone Villa is unspoilt & rich in original character. An immense bull-nosed verandah with attractive wrought iron lacework to three sides takes in the endless far reaching views & provides wonderful outdoor space for gatherings & alfresco life. A hugely wide central hallway runs the length of the home & stunning leadlight accentuates the homes main entrance. Polished Baltic pine floorboards plus original fireplaces, sash windows, architraves, skirtings & doors are all wonderfully preserved along with the breathtaking detailing that graces the soaring ceilings of the interior living spaces.
Enormous in their proportions, the floor plan provides up to four bedrooms, a separate lounge, large country kitchen & the homes wet areas are located to the rear, the laundry is situated within the original & separate wash-house outbuilding. There is a wonderfully preserved dry cellar & outdoors, the property has a series of iron & solid built shedding including a carport, garage & implement shed.
In the heart of the Barossas Valley Floor zone, the terrain that surrounds the homestead is undulating & slopes down to the North Para River, brown soils & red sandy clay loams are found on the flat areas & grey alluvial soils appear in the lower portions where the propertys boundary connects with the River.
The vineyard has good diversity & maturity across its varieties of Shiraz, Durif, Merlot, Semillon & Rousanne & a good portion of the Shiraz vines are nicely aged. Careful irrigation has ensured that high quality crops are achieved by the vineyard with lower yields showing the intense fruit characters that are sought to create premium label wines.
Pfeiffer House is a homestead that is known by many due to its outstanding presence & stunning riverside location, surrounded by a sea of vineyard. A property for lovers of history, of wine & of creativity, heres an opportunity to take this magnificent property into a new future.
