49 Fraser Avenue

Happy Valley SA 5159

In 1988, this property ~ 49 Fraser Avenue ~ was purchased and refurbished extensively as a new Winery by Robert Dundon and Tony McEntegart with intent to effectively modernise and replace the plant and infrastructure throughout with state of the art advances and facilities in wine production and storage, without damaging the traditional heritage. A Cellar Door, Dining Facilities and Function areas inside and out were utilised on a commercial scale as well as the wine production already established on site.

Downsizing to Langhorne Creek in 2005, Beresford Wines sold the property and Arrugius Wine Estate was created by the current owner, AJ Kevern who has had a close association with the Winery since 1971 (50 years), and has an intimate knowledge of wine production, distribution and storage. AJ has now created a massive commercially oriented enterprise of Wine Storage Facilities both on and off site, well established with a stable of quality winery lessees in place.

Such historical significance as one of the original landmark wineries created in Australia and now for sale is rare. The opportunities this incredible site towering on a hill rise with sweeping views to the coast offers is immense. Ideally, a return to former Cellar Door facilities, blended with multiple Commercially oriented Function Areas to include Dining and Al Fresco have proven success; add the current multi-tiered operational income wine & tank storage areas on and off site, presents the perfect opportunity for buyers currently within the wine industry and looking to expand operations, or those seeking their own site complete with plant and equipment.

Providing additional water storage tanks with a capacity of 1,000,000 litres, 3 phase power throughout, 10 KVA Solar, as well as all the necessary consents and zoning for Industrial Winery Use/Wine Storage, this walk-in walk-out fully operational Wine Estate facility complete with plant, equipment and established Leases in place, is a Commercial investment opportunity not to be missed.

Further scope within the undercover floor plan of 3,269sqm (approx.) on a site of 1.14ha (approx. 2.82acres) offers incentive to further develop the property (subject to Consents) to incorporate a complementary Gin Distillery or similar operation.

A 2-bedroom self-contained residence is incorporated within the building and can be utilised as a Manager's Residence or as an Air BnB Short Stay Winery Accommodation facility.

Arrugius Wine Estate c1896 can be sold with flexible settlement terms and will appeal to those discerning buyers who seek a quality and historically significant property acquisition.
