'Battunga Homestead'; Where Country Life, Creative Escape And Hospitality Share 86 Magical Acres.

Cradled by the Clare Valley Wine & Wilderness Trail, the unsuspecting adventurer will pass but never know of 'Battunga Homestead', a 34.8 hectare (approx.) world unto itself with a compelling commercial opportunity waiting beyond its stone-etched residence.
Marked by a gently rising approach, the stately main home pulls you past four cottages that have earned an independently assessed four-star rating, giving adventurers every reason to stay just that little bit longer where Clare Valley's famous wine region meets the final stop on the Epicurean Way.
The homestead makes a persuasive case for forgetting the calendar altogether, its 1995 conception disguised by a sleight of hand of Federation proportions, ornate detailing, salvaged materials and rooms with the patina and personality of a much older home.
French landscape wallpaper wraps the dining room in its own narrative, a deep red colour drench gives the front sitting room its brooding warmth and handmade leadlight depicting Indigenous elders marks a curious talking point at the front door.
Shelving waits for a lifetime of books in an office looking deep across the acreage, while up to four bedrooms, including an ensuited primary wing, and a long enclosed verandah washed in light ensure there is always somewhere to retreat, work or simply lose track of the hour.
The old world gives way to a more contemporary social heart, where a vast white-on-white kitchen spreads across updated French oak flooring with an oversized island, stone tops, deep banks of storage, a 90cm freestanding oven and the charming counterpoint of a vintage solid-fuel cooker.
Two solar systems, battery storage and an electric car charger push the property firmly into the present, while abundant fallen timber, two bores, extensive rainwater storage and automatic watering make its considerable footprint surprisingly self-sufficient.
Three sheds, including two art studios or workshops, a productive vegetable garden, eight paddocks and a small orchard add another working layer to a property that can be hobby farm, retreat, creative outpost and business without having to choose just one, with room for a working vineyard.
Each cottage takes its name from a bird, an apt motif on land visited by some 24 recorded species and regular mobs of kangaroos moving between paddocks, gardens and native bush thick with gums and wattles, clearing to reveal sweeping views over the neighbouring vineyards of Tim Adams Wines.
Its deep sense of seclusion never comes at the expense of the full Clare Valley experience, with the nationally recognised Watervale Hotel and the historic townships of Auburn and Mintaro serving cellar doors, destination dining and that unmistakable country hospitality.
