Comprising 28.1Ha (approx 69 acres) of rolling country with ample river flats, the property lends itself to all manners of rural or lifestyle pursuits. The elevated 3 bedroom, 2003 (approx.) Rivergum home is sited to take advantage of the stunning valley views across the Inman; it is very much a private retreat being well away from the road. There is a good shed with mezzanine and work shop, a chook run and the property has rudimentary cattle yards up on James Track. The solar power is on a dedicated rack with a shed housing the solar equipment and also the 5kva Auto start Generator should that be required.
The property is entirely off grid with solar, rain water, septic and, aside from the rainwater collection which is substantial, there is potential access to water from a spring fed dam and the river although this owner has not had the need for it. There are three dams, one of which, as mentioned, is spring fed. Being off grid and all sorted to live life without power, water or sewer bills coming in, your 'simple life' starts right here!
This lovely rural retreat also enjoys a couple of tree lined winter creeks that flow into the Inman River, the centre of which forms a good part of the bottom boundary. There are also some lovely stands of old growth gums as well as some plantings in the creek lines that are now mature and home to the kookaburras and magpies as well as a multitude of colorful Rosella's etc. Aside from the majestic gums, there remains ample open areas for running some steers or growing hay. With the price of services like power, sewer and water all rising, it is important to note that there are no charges for those services living on this property as it is currently set up. Over the years, the current owners have made reasonable cash income from agisting; sufficient actually, to cover the other costs of living such as rates and insurance. They have not personally farmed the land, but if that was something you would like to do, the income would be greater than agisting alone assuming cattle prices look to be improving.
This offering presents the perfect opportunity to leave the city behind and live a quiet and fulfilling life close to nature, in peaceful surrounds. The Village of Inman Valley is five minutes away, along with the school bus etc; Victor Harbor and Yankalilla are each around 15 minutes away so this is truly the heart of the Fleurieu. Please book ahead for your inspection and avoid disappointment.
