* Eco pods are on site but yet to be put up- platforms and services are in place *

From Europe to Echunga with a mission and a dream. It's the vision that led its owners to transform this homestead on 32 farming acres into a relaxed gourmet providore, with the motto "Farm – Feast – Stay" embedded into the beauty of Battunga country.

Whether your plan is for roaming cattle, a great hospitality setup ready to open & trade straight away; or lease it out for additional income stream - there are options afoot, including approval for on-site eco-pod accommodation.

There's no reason why not.

Following an extensive walls-down redesign, 1000 Reasons graduated from farm pantry beginnings to an indoor-outdoor restaurant destination for up to 100 patrons, complete with a commercial kitchen, liquor licence, and parking for over 45 cars.

The hard yards have been done, beautifully. With automatic entry gates, solar efficiency, CCTV, modern toilet facilities, well-established, bore-irrigated grounds and brand-new shedding to give the entrepreneurial buyer food for thought.

Why not build on the region's established visitor appeal? With the proposed eco pods (currently not yet constructed) in place, guests could wine, dine and retire for a night or two in one connected and immersive experience. Set up as wellness retreats or accommodation with a potential starting income of $550/night.

And the 9 paddocks aren't just scenic. Once cutting hay and running up to 12 head of cattle, they could come full circle, working in unison with the restaurant's next direction. Horses can be kept too, well fenced and with water troughs in each.

Host weddings, live music on the lawn, destination conventions, cooking classes or turn your attention to condiments with the property's organically grown mini-orchard of Nashi and William pears, figs, grapefruit, apples and an approximately 80-year-old mulberry tree.

You could collaborate with local growers and winemakers, making the space far more than a gourmet find - perhaps it'll become Echunga's own version of splendour on the grass.

With a firepit beneath the stars, all-day dining under the shade, the newly added verandah or a wintry afternoon by the combustion fire; if the tour buses can pull up to Hahndorf's boutique cellar doors, there's every reason to pull up here.

Stretching its long, rectangular parcel west from gum-studded Battunga Road, this renovated rural outpost is barely 35 minutes from the CBD. And the question isn't whether there's room to do more, it's what you'll do first…
