This thriving orchard enterprise, blanketing 6.2 hectares, speaks to both the dreamers and the doers; the entrepreneurs who see lifestyle and income as one seamless vision, bound by the romance of Lenswood.
Rich soils, spectacular views, stunning elevation, and the tangible rewards of a property nurtured by one family owner since 1991 – there's potential aplenty across this ripe-for-reinvention acreage.
Boasting 2.3HA of persimmon cultivars, and around 150 fig trees - including White Adriatic, Black Genoa and Spanish Dessert varieties, the current enterprise has reliable supply networks in place, partnering with Tony & Marks, D & G, select Foodland Supermarkets, restaurants, and Adelaide fruit retailers who value the orchard's premium-grade produce.
Beyond its produce-and-prosper lifestyle, the basic 1950s cottage – featuring up to three bedrooms, a bathroom, split system air conditioning, and slow combustion fire warmth - is currently occupied by a tenant who assists with orchard operations, allowing you to leverage rental income while you look to the future.
Supported by 3-phase power, a quality bore with 24,655kL water licence, implement shed, 3-car garage, and powered workshop/processing shed, the property ticks the infrastructure boxes for continued growth and production.*
The bore also pumps to a turkey nest dam, from which all areas along the eastern side of the driveway are gravity-fed. The balance of fruit trees are watered direct from the bore.
There's further scope to diversify, with a classic house orchard of nuts, grapes, custard apples, and smaller pickings of walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, olives, apples, pears, citrus, cherries, and an avocado tree.
As Lenswood and the greater Adelaide Hills draw visitors eager to taste, stay and explore the region's wine, cider, fresh produce, and artisan fare, you might offer an Airbnb experience, or a 'pick-your-own' harvest day – which makes this sweeping beauty an incredible asset.
Perhaps the future looks like a brand-new home (STCC), or even a cluster of eco 'Tiny Homes', leveraging the enveloping 360-degree views across rolling orchards and vineyards that surround this fertile site.
Grow your own future or craft a luxury lifestyle with income at its core. It's all possible, and it's less than 40 minutes from Adelaide.
