Originally purchased as vacant land 29 years ago, the current owners built the residence in 1993 and have progressively, diligently and with due care improved the property into what it is today.

The home includes an updated kitchen with new dishwasher, electric oven, gas hotplates, double sink, walk in pantry and extra wall mounted cupboards. The spacious open plan living area also offers casual dining, a slow combustion log fire and a large reverse cycle split system.

The formal lounge and dining area at the front of the home enjoy incredible rural views across to Charleston and the upper Onkaparinga Valley.

The master bedroom offers a large walk-in robe and an adjoining large linen storage area which opens into the hallway. Combined this would quite easily convert to robe and ensuite. There are two bathrooms, the main bathroom close to the family room plus a second bathroom incorporated into the laundry. There are 3 other bedrooms, two of which offer built-in robes with the fourth bedroom currently used as an office/study.

The kitchen, bathrooms and laundry run on rainwater. The Rinnai instant gas hot water supplies hot water throughout the home. The two-sided verandah links to the easy-care garden and grounds and there are two paved pergola areas. Around the house there are a variety of mature English trees and shrubs, a dedicated rose garden, and a small vegetable patch.

The house has a good internet connection via wireless broadband.

The water supply around the house and grounds is extensive. A 10,000-gallon (approx. 45,000 litre) rainwater tank supplies water to the house, with a separate 4,000-gallon tank as a reserve supply. The grounds are watered from a concrete header tank. There is an automatic irrigation system watering the lawns, numerous taps, and additional sprinkler systems have also been installed to the wider grounds.

Water supply for the whole property is highly developed. The equipped bore (rated at 1220 EC) pumps into a 5Mgl dam. There is a pump shed equipped with a multistage Grundfos pump (approx 3,000 gph), Netafim dual flush filter system and a Hunter Irrigation Control box. Dam water is pumped to a 24,000-gallon cement header tank located above the house which is then gravity fed to the house, grounds and cattle troughs.

Another 14,000-litre rainwater poly tank is located next to the hay shed, The property has a significant Water Licence Allocation of 64 Mgl, sufficient for large horticultural expansion.

This is high rainfall and highly productive country. There are 6 main paddocks, a commercial Hazelnut Grove, plus smaller yarding paddocks near to the house. The fencing is of a high standard and 80% new. The property has a regular fertilizer history with all the paddocks reseeded with a winter pasture blend about 18 months ago. The Hazelnut grove consists of approximately 600 trees and has just reached its production ‘ability’, being approximately 15 years of age.

Shedding has also been significantly developed. Close to the house there is a 12m x 6m shed containing workshop, 2 x car parking plus mezzanine storage. There is also a 9m x 6m implement shed plus a three-sided open area shelter (sufficient in size for a car) plus a lockable garden shed. Further away from the house there is another 9m x 6m hay/storage shed plus another 6m x 3m storage shed. The property also has a large cattle yard with a crush and loading ramp.

The views from this property are panoramic. On the highest point, you can see south over the length of the Onkaparinga Valley, west to the Mount Lofty Towers, east to Mount Torrens and north over the Torrens Valley and across to the Barossa.

All in all, a highly productive rural property containing extensive improvements all applied with attention to detail, which is bound to impress. Today the property lends itself to cattle stud activities, commercial horticulture pursuits and facilities for family horse activities, all offered at well below todays replacement values.
Exceptionally well located with easy access to Adelaide, the Northern regions of Adelaide in particular, and the lower Barossa Valley.
