News Corp Australia Network

A bachelor’s pad for almost 20 years, this McLaren Vale property has served up plenty of action.

It has an indoor basketball and badminton court, a golf driving range, a games and theatre room, a heated in-ground swimming pool and, of course, a bar.

But now 180 Seaview Rd could be yours for the taking, with the sporting haven listed for sale.

As the vendor looks to move to Queensland, selling agent Nick van Vliet, of Ouwens Casserly Real Estate, said the property could be the end game for buyers looking to make a tree change.

“The vendor is a retired bachelor with a big circle of friends who loves sport and thought he’d indulge himself with this incredible lifestyle property,” he said.

“So you obviously have the indoor basketball and badminton court, but inside (the house), there’s also a games room that’s over 100sq m.

“That’s as big as your average, three-bedroom home in the 1960s and 70s.

“The theatre room is also currently set up as a music room as the vendor is also a musician and tends to have band practices there.

“So it really is a sporting heaven and I think there’s a lot of families who would have loved living there during Covid.”

Situated on 4457sq m of land, the home boasts four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two separate living areas, and a modern kitchen.

The attached games room, only completed around five years ago, is fully insulated and carpeted and includes a bar, dartboard and a pool table.

The separate music/theatre room is also detached from the main house.

It is completely soundproof and the sale includes a projector and a 100-inch screen.

Outside, no less than five verandas and a raised entertainer’s deck with 360-view awaits.

Of course, there’s also an in-ground swimming pool, a synthetic turf putting green and cricket pitch with a driving range, and a 16m x 10m shed, currently set up as a basketball court.

If that’s not enough, the property is completely surrounded by vineyards, giving a feeling of seclusion.

Mr van Vliet said he expected the property to be a hit with families.

“It’s certainly a fun property and could make a great family home as you’ve got four bedrooms and so much space,” he said.

“But with the property being surrounded by vineyards, there’s also potential to set it up as a cellar door to offer up something different.”

The property will be auctioned at 10am on July 23.

McLaren Vale has a median house price of $727,500, according to PropTrack.
