The bore pumps from an underground stream which is very close to the Marble Hill spring water property and is quoted at pumping approximately five thousand gallons per hour, into a twenty thousand gallon ‘squatters’ tank. The high quality water then gravitates (under pressure) to the homestead. Furthermore, fifty millimetre poly pipe extends underground to virtually the whole of the property.
There are apple trees, cherry trees, persimmon, walnuts, plums, cumquat, grapefruit, lemons, oranges, mandarins, mulberry, peaches, quince and pear, plus open grazing. The mature trees include Golden Elm, Oak, Gleditsia, Liquid Amber and Holly plus a very rare Majestic Californian Red, said to be planted over 40 years ago with seeds bought out from Canada.
Just approximately 15 minutes to Norwood and 10 minutes to Stirling. This is a very desirable location and provides true country living, yet easy access to the CBD and furthermore, the Adelaide Airport.
A stunning, multi-faceted property, that offers broad based appeal to a family or even an extended family.
