Major Murray River landholding comes with historical ruins
A major Murray River landholding with prime lake frontage, multiple titles and even its own ruins is expected to spark a contest among buyer groups including investors, developers, graziers and grain producers.
Winnama, a 2000-hectare property comprising 11 freehold titles, two crown leases and 18 allotments in total on more than seven kilometres of waterfront land on Purnong Road near Mannum, South Australia.

Colliers International’s Jesse Manuel and Nick Goode have been appointed to sell the waterfront site, which is located on picturesque Lake Carlet.
Lake Carlet is a substantial lagoon on the Murray River between Mannum and Walker Flat, about 75 minutes’ drive east of Adelaide.

Mr Manuel said the scale of the property would attract keen interest.
“The upstream and downstream views of the river and Lake Carlet from this property are simply breathtaking,” he said.
“It’s not only a spectacular part of the River Murray, it really is a beautiful and unique part of the South Australia.

The current zoning permitted agricultural and lifestyle pursuits, with the scenery, untouched environment and extensive lake frontage tipped to draw attention.
“We expect to field inquiry from a range of local, interstate and possibly international buyers who may investigate the potential of alternate uses,” Mr Manuel said. “If allowed, it would make an outstanding eco-tourism site.”
Mr Goode said the vendor was open to selling the property as a whole or in parts.
“The property caters to a broad target market including graziers, grain producers and investors, as well as developers looking to take advantage of the multiple titles and the chance to further develop and realign boundaries, subject to the necessary consents,” he said.
As well as a number of historic ruins scattered throughout the property, Winnama has a modern four-bedroom home that has been built by the current owners as a weekend retreat.
