Set in Kingsford Country the beautiful expansive and open Australian landscape that made McLeods Daughters famous, this quality property offers a unique income producing lifestyle. Superbly equipped thoroughbred horse stud, Scenic Drive Stud also combines with an established acreage of income producing vines. Both are easily managed and maintained with first-class infrastructure and design that works in tandem ensuring efficiency and effectiveness. Spread over a slightly undulating 100 acres of South Australian countryside, its stunning views are panoramic, picturesque and plentiful.
Equipped to ensure excellence of care, a 13 stall stable with concrete flooring, ventilation, full lighting with foaling pens and a wash down bay was erected just four years ago.
Continuing the quality into the yards, there are 22 of varying sizes, each with their own shelter with kick panels, fully watered and irrigated with a mobile sprinkler system.
A round yard, dressage arena, superior fencing of horse friendly plastic and electric fencing combines to ensure superiority of facilities to the horses at all times.
Water is abundant and supplied to both the stud and vineyard through an unrestricted bore that has recently undergone a complete refurbishment. A 50,000 gallon, 20,000 gallon and two 5,000 gallon tanks of bore and rain water along with mains water cover all watering requirements of the property. The entire watering system is computerized and automated for complete peace of mind and quality assured care.
Splashing a sea of deep green along the slightly undulating slopes, there is approximately 60 acres of Shiraz, Cabernet Sav, Grenache and Merlot vines that have grape sale agreements in place until 2013. The vines were planted with rows designed for mechanical harvest and machine pruning if required ensuring options at harvest time.
A track for uninterrupted horse riding circles the entire vineyard providing a peaceful exercise setting without leaving the property. Perhaps even an opportunity to combine horses and vines, trail rides and wine?
A 15 year old four bedroom home with ducted evaporative air conditioning, gas heating, office, lush green lawn and established gardens is positioned close to all operational facilities ensuring a central management position. The triple garage, multiple shedding and three phase power bring additional storage and equipped facilities to the property.
Conveniently located yet a haven of country living, it is less than 10 minutes drive to Gawler, under five to the Sandy Creek Hotel and under an hour to Adelaide making this lifestyle location a serene scenic sanctuary of peacefulness and natural beauty.
This occasion of such a unique combination with the foresight of quality and design in infrastructure, maintenance and management presents an opening for lifestyle and income surrounded by nature and natural beauty of Rosedales Scenic Drive Stud.
