Who knows where life is going to take you?
Whether your interest is in the corporate world, the life of a miner, a retiree, a farmer, a nine to fiver or a person who wants to put something back into our beautiful bush land, this parcel of land will suit all.
Located north of Cowell in the Minbrie Ranges, there are parts that one leg would have to be longer than the other to walk up, even Evel Knievel would have thought twice, but a lot of the area is just magnificent bush land with native animals and birds, plus feral goats and rabbits.
Traditionally the property has been grazed and the arable area cropped. With such a large parcel of land it has been a ” hay stack” or wether paddock. There is even an old weir on the place plus two wells and a bore. One of the Cowell area water sources in the good old days was the Ulbarie Reservoir located on the southern boundary (not part of this farm) This is no longer used but you can only guess how much wild life a parcel of water supports.
An income in later years has come from the Jade leases in the area. Cowell’s black jade is known worldwide!! I personally would use a motor bike or the four wheel drive to explore. Other people would prefer horse back or walking. The orienteering club from Whyalla has made use of the challenging landscape to try its members out. But not all the block is up and down. Building sites right next to a power line are available and with access to a council road that is currently a school bus route.
Depending whether your choice is distant sea views, tranquil bush setting or a more practical farm style home stead and sheds, the decision is yours. The land and location are here for everybody?s taste (apart from beach front and Cowell’s whiting, crabs & cappuccinos are less than 25 minutes away).
Best of all, all this is only approx 45 kms from Iron Duke. After a long shift at the Duke what could be better than to unwind on your own private estate with room for a motor bike/ 4 wheel drive plus your own nature reserve featuring native birds and mammals.
If you are considering building in the Cowell district, this property is worthy of inspection!
