Welcome to this stunning patch of Aussie wilderness! Deep in the heart of the Fleurieu Peninsula,
45 minutes from Adelaide but a lifetime away from the city.
Roughly 1.5 kms off the bitumen, Faggoter road becomes a small overgrown track winding its way through the yuccas and gumtrees. The green rolling hills and scattering of cattle slowly give way to thick native scrub. Hints of deep blue start to appear between tree trunks down the valley. You know you have entered this property when you come to a Eucalyptus forest. and the track becomes a bit less defined, more overgrown with this abundant and thriving ecosystem. The track continues, but we are on foot now. Keen eyes will spot hundreds of different species of plant life. As we come across a small winter creek, the deep blue of the Myponga reservoir becomes clear, heading up the hill reveals more and more of the stunning views. Eventually, the whole reservoir comes into clear view and then the blue of the St Vincent Gulf in the background. As we climb to the top of the hill arriving at the declared building envelope, the view extends across the whole of the Myponga valley with the township just a speck in a tapestry of green paddocks, trees, farms houses, and roads stretching off into the distance.
You have arrived in a type of paradise paradox where you could be completely alone, miles and from anyone, yet people watching the over the bustling township of Myponga. Their newest attraction has transformed this little town. On a good day, you will see the canoes in the reservoir, tractors in the fields, the ebb and flow of main south road winding off in the distance, but on a great day, it's the green hills, contrasting with the beautiful blue water that will steal your attention!
On offer in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is just over 30 Ha of pristine natural iconic Australian bush! Don't just take my word for it, the South Australian Government agreed that this is a national treasure and have declared that it should be protected. The heritage agreement extends over all but one hectare of this parcel, which leaves plenty of room for your dream home and amenities in the prime location to enjoy sensational north-facing views.
Heritage agreements are established in perpetuity to protect and enhance the natural character of the flora and fauna. In this case, several native species of flora and fauna have been identified and some categorized as endangered or threatened. The heritage agreement includes a special dispensation in regard to the official property valuation with a subsequent reduction in rates and taxes on the land. As well as access to several grant programs for fencing, weeding and landscape restoration

If you're looking to build that perfect getaway or just have somewhere out of the way, this might be for you. Could you live among the kangaroos, echidnas, koalas, and kookaburras? Would you appreciate a garden that's been growing in this spot for thousands of years? Are you intrigued by the rare native orchids or hundreds of other unique species, some of which are found only around here!
Please be aware, this property has come to market previously. We paused the campaign to fix an issue with the agreement. We can now report the 1 ha building envelope will be clear of the heritage agreement.
Also previously when this property came to market, we were overwhelmed with interest and it was just not always possible to respond to every inquiry immediately. Expression of interest will be received until the 12th of March at 1:00 pm 2022 (unless sold prior) and we will have the first open on Saturday the 19th February at 10.00 am.
