200 Quinns Road, Forreston SA 5233

A real farm, this large 55.45 hectare Adelaide Hills' property is perched on rolling land with towering gums and has views that can be enjoyed from dawn to dusk.

Overlooking the entire property the house is perched privately on the top of the land with 40km views stretching out across the valley. An interesting house, half of it has been fitted out at an exceptionally high level whilst the other half is awaiting the second fix stage. It's a huge independent second wing under the main roof. Plumbed for a second kitchen and open plan living area and large master bedroom with ensuite, the advantage is that a lot of the hard and expensive work has been done. The slab is down, the internal frames are up and if you wanted to change it to suit your needs now is the time to do it. This house is perfect for two families, large families, home businesses, or those who just want lots and lots of space.

There is little to no established garden which will suit those who don't care for gardens or perfect for those that want to create their own. One could argue that the actual garden is made up of the properties beautiful paddocks and rural views. There is ample scope on this property to do whatever you want and the most important thing to remember is that you have the land and properties this size are hard to find.

The land is currently fenced into 8 good sized paddocks, the property is accessed via two all-weather tracks that meander down around the dams and up to the highest peaks. The robust fences that encase the property allow for both commercial and stud stock operations and of note are the gates that all swing. No Cockie-Gates' 

The majority of the soil is made up of sandy loams with several heavier areas in the valleys near the dams. A program of pasture renovations and the application of super phosphate will benefit this prime grazing land and agronomy advice is available upon request.

A high yield paddock of pasture and rye grasses has been closed up for hay production this season whilst the remaining paddocks house a self-replacing Belted Galloway herd and Suffolk sheep.

Thanks to the water licence the property lends itself to intensive farming enterprises including viticulture or orchards as seen on the Western boundary. The bore in the middle of the property has been cased to 85 metres and currently sits at 75 metres. It pumps approximately 3,000 gallons/hr up to a steel header tank and feeds all the concrete stock troughs and septic system for the home. Three dams and a 12Ml Water Licence provide an abundant water resource for any high-input endeavour and a water map will be provided during the final hand over inspection to ensure you have a firm understanding on how the property operates.

A functional set of sheep yards in the centre of the property makes stock handling a breeze without the need to move sheep around for drenching or shearing and the back fenceline is a corridor for birds. An impressive parcel of land that would suit farmers of all shapes and sizes the land itself is very appealing.

Back at the homestead there are many features that will appeal to those looking for modern creature comforts. The designer kitchen would not be lost in lifestyle magazines and boasts high-end appliances from ILVE, ASKO and Bosch. The granite benchtops add to the luxurious feel of this kitchen and the deep drawers of the pantry and wine storage make this an appealing and functional space.

A genuine rural enterprise with scope for affordable improvements this property will appeal to first time farmers to downsizing farmers or simply lifestyle farmers who want the benefits of the primary producer status'. The options are endless.
