The Bark Hutt region of Kangaroo Island offers a wonderful opportunity to combine business with lifestyle, it is renowned for being some of the most uniquely attractive big gum country on KI.
The blend of majestic gums (pink, sugar, native blue, and cup) with open pastures, Winter creeks, and pockets of stately yuccas and natural bush, combined with reliable rainfall and some spectacular views makes this parcel of land an opportunity to be seized.
Farm stay accommodation, tourism chalets, honey production, medicinal propolis production, wine grapes, wildlife tours, wood working business and of course farming are all possibilities.
31 kms from Kingscote (with approximately 8kms of recently sheeted unsealed road) this 454 acre property gives a real mix of opportunity for balancing farming with lifestyle/business options.
Conveniently located just 15 minutes drive from the iconic Stokes Bay, 25 minutes from stunning Snellings beach, 4 minutes from the Islander winery, and only 14 minutes from the newly refurbished airport, the property is ideally situated to take advantage of tourism or to enjoy the lifestyle. In addition, families have a choice of either Parndana or Kingscote school, with access to both school bus routes.
The property is currently used for sheep and honey production and boasts 4 well fenced paddocks and 7 dams, it has previously been used for cattle production as well. The South paddock has received intensive pasture renovation with both annual and perennial rye and medic planted in 2016. The entire block has a good super history and has also been limed with 2kg/hectare in 2015 and 3kg/hectare in 2017, no expense has been spared on the maintenance of this land.
The property is a manageable size, ideal to add to an existing holding, to lease, or well suited to those looking to enter the farming sector.
Farmland in this area of Kangaroo Island is tightly held and rarely presents to the market at this size parcel.
This is a uniquely spectacular, and environmentally pristine piece of KI real estate, situated within the 'golden mile' and worthy of your inspection. Prepare to have your heart stolen!
