Lot 200 Appleton Road Harrogate SA 5244

** SOLD **

After 90 years of ownership and four generations of farming, this stunning large acreage parcel awaits its new custodian.

A mix of gently undulating grazing country, rising up to higher terrain with rocky outcrops. Three natural watercourses run through the property, and there are multiple slow release springs, flanked by ancient stone escarpments.

There are four dams, with a combined capacity of approximately 12.5 mega-litres - plus the option of gravity feeding from the creek with 2" poly. Annual rainfall for this area on average is 625mm-650mm.

Electricity runs straight across the property in the southern area of the land, and from Mail Road. Fantastic building sites with far-reaching views.

Remnants of South Australia's early settlers with stone ruins; the footings of a cottage and the walls of a cellar - all add to the character and history of this nostalgic property.

The land has been well managed over the years and is divided into five main paddocks including stock yard paddock, six smaller paddocks and fenced off creek ways. The majority of the perimeter fencing was replaced in 2020. Superphosphate has been applied each year at 120kg/ha, there is also a history of liming. The pastures are a combination of sub clover, Phalaris and annual grasses, and soils are sandy loam over clay.

The carrying capacity or stocking rate of the land is approximately 11DSE per hectare, roughly 800 ewes with lambs at foot during Winter / Spring.

Modern heavy duty loading ramp, crush and stockyards with an approximate holding capacity of up to 400 woolly ewes with lambs.

Valuable three-road frontage, Appleton Road, Mail Road and School Bus Road.

After 90 years of continuous ownership, this very rare large holding is once again available for purchase. Located only approximately 50 minutes drive to the Adelaide CBD.
