A Rare Opportunity: Farm Land, Investment Potential, and an Enviable Lifestyle
Nestled on the outskirts of the thriving coastal village of Normanville, this property offers a unique blend of large, productive farmland, outstanding investment potential, and an idyllic lifestyle. Situated within walking distance of shops, cafes, and South Australia's finest beaches, Normanville boasts its own local council, the Yankalilla District Council. With at least ten exquisite beaches, a share of national parks, two golf courses, numerous breweries and gin distilleries, historic pubs dating back over 150 years, and a welcoming population of fewer than 10,000 residents, this charming country town has it all.
The rural lands surrounding the Southern Fleurieu region have witnessed substantial value appreciation in recent years, promising further growth potential. This location also presents diverse business opportunities (subject to council approvals), with tourist accommodations being a common and lucrative addition to local farming income. Moreover, its strategic position, just an hour's drive from Adelaide, offers the best of both worlds for business and leisure. A half-hour journey takes you to Victor Harbor, or Noarlunga where you'll find major retail outlets, a hospital, private schools, and another vibrant community. Of course, the two local supermarkets are both within 5 minutes' drive as well as the local doctors surgery.
