LAND: 8.238ha (20.7 acres). Located almost on the doorstep of the township itself, the land provides a great opportunity to enjoy the lifestyle you want, thanks to its entire usability and bore. In previous years the property has run sheep, cattle and grown produce. The river Torrens borders the northern boundary and is a pretty backdrop to land which is very
suitable to horses or other recreational interests. The selection of fruit and nut trees and an excellent vegetable garden would not be possible without a good water source and the property’s own bore (yield 2.5l / sec @ 1400ppm) allow you to grow your own fresh produce and is most valuable. The gardens around the home are predominantly established with native trees and plants which attract a variety of birdlife. The brick front fence, along with the colourful and fragrant roses in the front garden, creates an attractive entrance to the property.
