Commanding a magnificent, elevated position just minutes from north east Adelaide shopping, schools and services, here is a property of myriad delights. 99 acres (40Ha) of great grazing across a number of paddocks studded with ancient gums, a perennial dam and spring with winter creek, plenty of room for horses, motorbikes, 4WD or mountain bikes, and a four bedroom, off-grid home perfect for extended stays or as a base while you build anew on one of many sites with spectacular views to the coast and northern plains.
The views to St Vincent's Gulf that take your eye as you roll down the long, spur-top driveway are simply arresting. A new home just here - or here, or there! - would possibly have the best views and sunsets of any property anywhere overlooking the Adelaide coastline and provide the perfect gateway to a private realm of gullies, gums and very useable flat areas.
So special is this place that it has been in the same family since the original title was granted in the 1840s, with a reluctant sale now closing a history of several generations' deep connection with its unique and embracing character.
The current residence, a transportable built on site, is in good condition and is remarkably spacious. Four bedrooms - master with en-suite and walk-in robe, the others with built-in robes - and a large open-plan living, dining and kitchen area (with walk-in pantry) topped by a vaulted timber ceiling provide very comfortable family accommodation. A separate laundry and family bathroom with separate shower add to the surprisingly large floorplan.
Installed in 2019, the solar panels (7.2kw), batteries (10kw) and generator back-up make living off-grid a reality. Rainwater is pumped from a house tank to two new 22,000 litre tanks and gravity fed to the house. Water can also be pumped from the perennial dam, which sits above a spring and an olive grove in the eastern gully.
The property can carry 80-plus sheep and has a sheep shelter and yards.
With imagination (and appropriate consents), the property could readily provide 'glamping' or similar holiday accommodation to take advantage of the unique views, rolling acres and function venues in the local area.
This is a very rare opportunity to purchase a true lifestyle property not only within reach of the city but also with captivating vistas over coast, sea and rolling hills.
