Exceptional value, this scenic 86 acre property alongside Dawesley Creek Te Whare' will appeal to families, primary producers and hobby farmers looking for a quiet lifestyle within very easy reach of Adelaide.
There are two things we know about most Dairy's, they generally have a good power & water supply however, the beauty about 'Te Whare' is that it also has mains water connected.
Located only a few minutes past the Nairne Football Oval Te Whare' is exactly 30 minutes from the Toll Gate, and under 10 minutes from the freeway.
The Mt Gambier Stone Homestead was built in 1935 and includes three very large bedrooms and two bathrooms plus many other notable features. For example, the 11 foot ceilings are refreshingly high and the ornate lights and parquetry floors are a reminder of yesteryear. The chandelier in the hallway certainly catches the eye and adds a quaint touch to a property that hasn't changed hands in over 80 years.
Heating and cooling is enhanced thanks to the use of an open fire, combustion heater and ducted RC/AC and the 1970's kitchen is sturdy with a stainless-steel benchtop accompanied by a comfortable living area.
Around the property you will find many improvements including excellent fences, a near new workshop (large), hay shed, implement shed, an old dairy with separate power meter and a highly functional 2 stand shearing shed with lean too.
An area renown for good pastures amongst rich rocky outcrops Te Whare' supports strong grazing capabilities for sheep and/or cattle but ultimately would support a family looking for the ultimate lifestyle whilst earning a good chunk of money on the side.
