142 Daly Road

Rarely does a property so perfectly bridge the gap between the rugged charm of the 1850s and the clarity of modern architecture. Set upon 15 private acres with no close neighbours, this estate is a storied piece of the Barossa, once held within the heritage of the renowned Burge family. Your journey begins at the original Ironstone cottage, where the thick stone walls and high ceilings preserve a 19th-century soul. The front lounge serves as a refined retreat, centered around a wood heater and framed by large picture windows that look out toward the distant hills. Nearby, a central entry with a striking glass door leads to a unique, elevated study. This room, featuring warm timber floors, sits directly above the underground cellar-an atmospheric space with stone steps and recycled timber - a sanctuary for serious wine collectors and entertainers. The home then transitions through a light-filled internal passage, where industrial-chic mini orb walls meets a wall of glass with French doors. This hallway overlooks a central red-brick courtyard, where a freestanding pergola draped in a stunning Glory Vine offers a shaded spot for a morning coffee. Passing into the modern pavilion extension, the scale of the home truly reveals itself. Here, the design shifts toward open-plan luxury, anchored by durable Italian porcelain tiles and soaring ceilings. The kitchen is a masterclass in modern-country aesthetics, finished in a soft powder blue with extensive timber benchtops. High-end culinary tools, including an Ilve gas stove, a Miele dishwasher, and a fully integrated fridge and freezer, make this the true heart of the home. In the cooler months, a second wood heater warms the entire living and dining area, while double glazing and split system a/c ensure effortless comfort year-round. Tucked away within this modern wing is the private master suite. Mirroring the airy design of the main living area, it features sloped ceilings and double doors that open directly to the eastern terrace to capture the first light of the Barossa sunrise. The adjoining ensuite is exceptionally generous, offering a large corner bathtub and a shower. This modern wing also houses the main guest bathroom, maintained in neutral tones and pristine condition. Outside, the property is a productive haven. A mature orchard offers a bounty of pistachio, quince, mulberry, and citrus, supported by mains water and extensive rainwater storage. For the hobbyist or collector, the 12.03m x 7.47m main shed provides ample room for vehicles and is supplemented by another single garage. The remaining shed could be a restoration adventure given its size, nature, and character. Bordering a protected heritage scrub area, close to the Altona Landcare reserve and located just five minutes from the cafes and wineries of Lyndoch, 142 Daly Road is more than a home. It is a masterfully designed lifestyle of absolute privacy, where 19th-century character and 21st-century luxury meet under big Barossa skies.
