A rare chance to own a slice of South Australian wine country, with rolling vines, ancient gums, and cellar door potential.
A rare opportunity to acquire a premium vineyard in the heart of South Australia’s celebrated McLaren Vale wine region has emerged, with the Kangarilla Vineyard now offered for sale at $3.2 million.
Positioned at the corner of McLaren Flat Road and Bakers Gully Road in Kangarilla, only 30 minutes’ drive south of Adelaide, the 40 hectare property is owned by Chester Osborn, the iconic winemaker behind d’Arenberg. With Osborn’s name synonymous with innovation and excellence in Australian wine, the listing is expected to attract strong interest from both domestic and international buyers.
The vineyard comprises approximately 26 hectares planted to a mix of premium varieties, including Shiraz, Chardonnay, Verdelho and Sangiovese. Several grape contracts are already in place,
including agreements with Endeavour Group and d’Arenberg, offering immediate income potential for the purchaser.
Nick Goode, Associate Director, Agribusiness at Colliers, said, “Kangarilla Vineyard presents a compelling investment in one of Australia’s most revered wine regions. It’s a significant holding in McLaren Vale, offering scale, established infrastructure and a picturesque setting that’s hard to match.”
“With secure grape contracts and flexible arrangements with d’Arenberg, it’s an exceptional opportunity for wine producers, investors or lifestyle buyers looking to make their mark in a world-class region,” Mr Goode added.
The property also includes approximately 14 hectares of vacant land, providing flexibility for future expansion, a bespoke residence or a cellar door (STCA). A 28-megalitre underground water licence, automated irrigation, frost protection and powered machinery sheds further enhance the vineyard’s operational appeal.
Russell Iles of Woodbridge Iles Property said, “This is not just a vineyard opportunity; it’s a lifestyle opportunity. The ability to build a home on the property, subject to council consents, provides discerning buyers the potential to create something truly special.”
McLaren Vale, just 30 minutes’ drive south of Adelaide, is one of Australia’s oldest and most respected wine regions. Known for its Mediterranean climate, diverse soils and pioneering spirit, it continues to lead the way in both traditional and alternative varietals. The region’s thriving food and wine culture, combined with its scenic charm, makes it a magnet for wine lovers and tourists alike.
