A pair of grape growers in the McLaren Vale wine region had their son design them a sleek, single-level home for their active retirement
In Australia’s McLaren Vale wine region, grape growers Tony and Sally French-Kennedy spent about $518,000 to build a single-level home for their active retirement.In the heart of Australia’s wine country, on the Fleurieu Peninsula south of Adelaide, two longtime grape growers were in search of a new house for their active retirement. They found what they were looking for in their own backyard.
Tony French-Kennedy, now 67, and his wife, Sally French-Kennedy, 68, asked their son, Reuben, to design a new single-level house on a parcel of their existing half-acre property. After completing the project in April 2020, they sold off the previous house—and broke even in the process.
Inspiring!
