Located in a private area, this well situated property will suit buyers with horse pursuits in mind, or simply those wanting peace and privacy and a near city country lifestyle.

The property is separated into twelve paddocks plus the ‘house yard’ and offers excellent grazing for stock. There is a ‘hay paddock’ (approx 4 acres) that is cut yearly, producing an average of 400 small squares per year. The ‘organic’ pastures have not been subject to any toxic weed sprays for the past few decades, but a natural fertilizer program and hand pulling of weeds over the years ensures this property in essence is free of Salvation Jane and other noxious weeds.

The Vendors have maintained four horses and approx 8 head of head of cattle (breeding cows) on the property over the years and there must be “something good in the water” as the current horses here are aged 8, 28, 36 and 39 years old!
The property is also currently linked to The Upper Torrens Land Management Project, whereby a small area within one paddock has been set aside for the producing of native grass seeds, and later the seeding of that paddock to several native grass species, (which could potentially later be cut and bailed by the new owners). Please note This area has had a spray program applied before native grass seeds will be spread.

The home offers a variety of living space, including a large sunroom and combined family area with slate floor and Split system air-conditioner. This room is directly linked to the ‘outdoor’, fully lockable undercover kitchen and meals room. The formal lounge room within the original part of the home offers a slow combustion log fire and offers good proportion. The kitchen was renovated in recent years and provides sufficient storage, stove top, ample counter top space and provisioning for a dishwasher. The home offers three bedrooms all with built in floor to ceiling robes and the bathroom offers separate bath and shower and a gorgeous Huon Pine, handcrafted vanity. The toilet is separate and is located next to the laundry.

Further along the property, but not too far from the home is a cabin currently used as a studio, which offers light and power and standalone stove.

The property offers a convenient array of shedding including a converted original dairy, a two roomed feed shed, three sided 4m x 8m ‘tack’ shed, two 3m x 6m lockable sheds plus a 3m x 9m concrete floor shed with light and power.
The main dam is equipped with a Davey Petrol Pump which pumps into a 2000 gallon fiberglass tank and a 3000 gallon poly header tank via a 2″ Poly Pipe. All paddocks are supplied with stock water. Rain Water is also extensive with a 10,000 gallon concrete tank, a 2000 gallon tank, and a 500 gallon galvernised tank off of the sheds plus a 5000 gallon Poly tank next to the original besser brick dairy.

A closed government road runs along the north eastern boundary of the land and extends to the Mt Crawford forest – the present owners used to ride their horses to and from the Mt Crawford forest as exercise for their endurance horses.

A very special property which has provided many years of personal enjoyment for the current owners who are now retiring to the Yorke Peninsula.

Enjoy the spectacular rural views, huge majestic gums, productive sandy loam soils and a sound farm water supply. Feel right at home on your own slice of productive Australian country.
