What Could You Create Here? That is the exciting question!

This is not simply a rural property. It is a large-scale riverfront holding that invites buyers, investors, developers, tourism operators and agricultural entrepreneurs to explore its potential.

Marina or Riverfront Development

The current owner has previously explored the possibility of a marina and associated residential development across the lower-lying riverfront portion of the property.

Riverfront projects at locations such as Wellington East and Hindmarsh Island demonstrate the appeal of well-planned waterfront communities.

With significant investment and growth proposed throughout the Murray Bridge region, this may be a strategic opportunity for an experienced development group to investigate.

Any marina, residential or commercial development would remain subject to all required planning, environmental, engineering and government approvals.

Agriculture, Horticulture or Irrigation

Approximately 115 acres of higher ground may offer potential for a range of agricultural or horticultural uses.

Depending on soil conditions, water availability and professional advice, potential uses may include:

Vegetable production
Pasture or fodder
Tree crops
Turf production
Grazing
Other irrigated agricultural enterprises

Prospective purchasers should engage their own agronomist, horticultural consultant and water specialist to assess the property's suitability for their intended use.

Tourism or Camping

The lower riverfront area may also appeal to buyers considering a tourism, camping or recreational venture.

With approximately 1.15 km of river frontage, the property could provide an exceptional setting for:

A campground
Caravan or recreational vehicle facilities
Eco-tourism accommodation
River-based recreation
Fishing, boating and water-sport activities
Private family or corporate retreats

Any tourism or accommodation proposal would be subject to the necessary approvals.

Land Division Potential

The property may also offer potential for future land division.

Based on the current planning framework, the minimum allotment size may allow a purchaser to investigate the creation of additional allotments extending from the highway through to the river.

This could potentially result in two or possibly three substantial holdings, subject to survey, planning advice and all required consents.

Purchasers should make their own enquiries with the relevant council and engage a qualified development consultant or licensed surveyor.

A Strategic Murraylands Location

The property is positioned between two of South Australia's most important regional centres.

Murray Bridge continues to attract significant attention through proposed residential, commercial and infrastructure investment, including the planned Gifford Hill development.

Tailem Bend has established itself nationally through The Bend Motorsport Park, bringing visitors, investment and employment into the district.

This property sits between them, with direct highway exposure and an extensive stretch of Murray River frontage.
