Hillside views over Lake Alexandrina | 84 acre grazing block with bore and dams | four-bedroom homestead with north-facing verandah | steel cattle yards in good order The property’s competitive strength lies in its rare combination of functional grazing infrastructure and a well-finished homestead on a single holding within an hour of Adelaide. The six paddock configuration, stock bore, and steel yards reduce the time and capital needed to start livestock operations, while the north-facing verandah and raked timber ceilings give the house a genuine lifestyle appeal. This suits a buyer wanting a genuine working smallholding that also works as a family home, not a hobby block with a shed. The main risk is the property’s exposure to rainfall variability despite the 600mm average-two dams and a bore mitigate this but do not remove it. The hillside position means wind exposure on the house side and potential for higher evaporation in the paddocks. The study being convertible to a fourth bedroom is a practical bonus but the floor plan’s openness may not suit buyers wanting separate formal zones. For a buyer prepared to run sheep or cattle as a part-time enterprise, this property offers a self-contained system that can be held as a long-term rural retreat or developed further with rotational grazing infrastructure.
