COUNTRY MASTERPIECE
It has been well documented with wonderful historical information published in the Australian Heritage Magazine, June 2009 which was researched and written by the present owners. There are also a number of positive attributes for today’s modern living.

In recent years, extensive stone walling, together with a dedicated walled garden has been completed. All the original stone walling of the house has been re-pointed and in 1957, the whole building underpinned. The original underground tank that serviced the house is now a cellar linked to the kitchen.

Where appropriate, insulation has been provided and extensive upgrades to the electrical wiring have been completed. Broadband with the Telstra land line is connected to the property.

The homestead and the stone out-buildings have been restored, with integrity. Apart from the original fireplaces there are now the modern comforts of two separate reverse cycle split systems, gas heating, ceiling fans and a large enclosed sunny front verandah. All windows have been barred and all doors, including security screen doors, have dead locks.

The original stone stables and barn remain today.

Water supply to property by mains water, with reserve storage in various tanks totalling 85,000 litres. Adequate pumping facilities are connected. In addition there is a 500 kilolitre water licence to draw water from Lake Alexandrina via windmill site. Access to Lake Alexandrina is by easement on the title.

Today Old Poltalloch Station Homestead is situated on a bitumen road with lake frontage, elevated, on 24 acres with over 5,000 trees having been planted overlooking the surrounding countryside and the wide open views of Lake Alexandrina.
