Lot 100 Chalk Hill Road is 3.535 hectares (approx. 8.7 acres) of established vineyard on the doorstep of McLaren Vale township. The land rises gently from Chalk Hill Road to an elevated position, with an outlook across neighbouring vineyards to the surrounding hills. It's a working vineyard today, and it offers a genuine opportunity to build a permanent home or weekender in one of South Australia's best-known wine regions (STCC).
Approximately 3.35 ha is planted to Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, established in 1997 on their own roots. The vines are 29 years old and produced 26.85 tonnes in the 2026 vintage.
Water and infrastructure
The block holds a 7 ML annual recycled water allocation through Willunga Basin Water. In a region where water security matters, that allocation underpins the vineyard's value. Drip irrigation runs throughout, and a solar battery system powers the irrigation pumps and controllers. A mains power application with SAPN is underway, which supports the future build option.
A place to build
The elevated part of the block suits a home designed to look out over the vines (STCC). Buyers can keep the vineyard as a productive backdrop, lease it to a local grower, or run it themselves. That makes it equally suited to a lifestyle buyer and a grower.
The location
Never Never Distillery is your rear neighbour, and the d'Arenberg Cube and the cellar doors, restaurants and services of McLaren Vale are only minutes away. Having one of the region's busiest tourism venues on the back boundary will appeal to buyers who see value in that, from a cellar door or tourism concept to simply being part of the Vale's food and wine scene (STCC). Adelaide and the coast are within easy reach, so it works as a full-time base, a weekend retreat or the start of a boutique wine venture.
