Barossa Bank Great Escape - CONTRACTED AT AUCTION

Auction Location: on site.

1880's solid Bluestone Villa with historic Saddlery.

In 1884 it launched as a Commercial Bank SA branch lasting a year as a mini depression followed and Manager (Mr Crooks) and accountant ended behind bars (and that's not front bars!) for embezzlement. This significant home is on the corner of what is now a very trendy Barossa tourist destination, for over 140 years home to "The Greenock" Tavern, the state's longest held family hotel. There's a host of cellar doors, boutique breweries and eateries, authenticity abounds.

Totally renovated and extended over a 10 year period, the blend of classic heritage with contemporary comfort has created a timeless feel with all the original elements retained, use of bio oil and eco painting, the result is a much loved home, which for the past 5 years had operated as a successful Airbnb with super host ranking. Feedback from guests from around the world, "Wonderful space, so tranquil, love the library, so authentic, best position, central to everything Barossa". So you can live in and love it or share it with the world.

The Villa is vibrant with colours of yesteryear, stencilled friezes, high Baltic skirtings and mellow Baltic floors. The original bank entry now leads into the large library, currently housing an enviable, professional collection of cookbooks soaring toward the 3.8 metre ceiling, feature lead light gives a warm glow. The elegant central hallway with feature archway, leads past original bedrooms each with a fireplace. A 2005 modern, open plan extension provides a great kitchen with island bench, loads of cupboard space, room for dining and step through stainless commercial stacker doors to the spacious alfresco zone for year round dining and entertaining. This area can accommodate 4 cars with additional onsite and street parking.

Currently the adjoining quaint original store, with 4 metre ceilings and traditional timber floors and glass display street frontage, operates as Hygge Home and Vintage and is tenanted until 30/06/2020. Operating as a Saddlery from 1904-1946 it's long been a Greenock icon within the Jungfer and Helbig families.

The prime position is steps from 5 cellar doors and adjacent to the wonderful Greenock Oval and playground. Great potential for future development, extend the accommodation, install niche or boutique Barossa experiences STCC. The land 1287sqm approx. Side access extends to the historic Oval entrance.

On the market to finalise a deceased estate, it's a unique opportunity with both the Villa and adjoining retail space, currently leased. The option is to run as an investment or a splendid residential home.

Greenock is only 45 minutes from Adelaide. It would be a fabulous commute, escaping to the country with ever changing vineyard views. Historic Seppeltsfield is minutes away, Fino and Hentley Farm national award winning restaurants are close by. Operate 12 Murray Street as an Upmarket Cellar Door, Gourmet Cooking School with accommodation, or be selfish and keep it for yourself. Appealing to locals, life changers, families, investors or buyers from South Australia, interstate or overseas this could be your life changing moment.
