A four-bedroom home in the heart of the Barossa is capturing the imagination of buyers, all because of a unique feature that could be the making of a future side hustle.

Set on a 660sq m block, 4 Laffer Ave, Nuriootpa, has been listed for sale with a guide of $579,000 to $629,000.

While the price may appear steep to some, it’s the fact the property comes with a commercially set up salon or studio that has buyers talking.

Selling agent Nicola Biagi, of Elders Real Estate, said around 15 groups attended the first open home on the weekend, with many enthralled by the possibilities.

“Half of the garage has been transformed into a (hair) salon, completely council approved and with plumbing and airconditioning,” she said.

“So the feedback from that has been really great as this space provides excellent versatility to suit a variety of lifestyle needs and is perfect for those wanting to work from home.

“One of the people who came through, she’s a pilates instructor, and she thought the space would be great for small group classes.

“You could also easily extend the space as there’s just a bit of wood panelling that separates the space from the garage to set up a gym or the likes.”

Built in 2008, Ms Biagi said the home also offered plenty of scope for families, featuring four good-sized bedrooms, two bathrooms and two separate open-plan living and dining areas.

The heart of the home, the kitchen, is fully equipped with a gas cooktop, dishwasher, a walk-in pantry and a welcoming breakfast bar, and also looks out onto an open-plan living space with access to a rear yard.

With quality family homes hard to come by in the Barossa, Ms Biagi said she expected the property to attract plenty of offers.

According to PropTrack, house prices in Nuriootpa have risen by almost 40 per cent since the start of Covid in 2020, with the average home now selling for $485,000.

“Interest so far has predominantly come from local buyers but sometimes the city buyers don’t come out till the second weekend of opens,” Ms Biagi said.

“Thankfully the Barossa market has held pretty strong (since Covid) with the buyers coming through actively looking and having their finances in order.

“The only thing we’re struggling with is that there is not enough stock on the market, so the people who want to sell then need to buy as they don’t want to end up homeless … but there’s only so much to go around.

“So with homes that are available, like this one (4 Laffer Ave), we tend to get a lot of good interest.”
