This former horse training property is mallee country at its best, settled serenely below the ranges between Mount Pleasant and the Mannum-Walker's Flat reach of the Murray. Well-wooded and gently undulating, the 86 acres offer 66 acres of cropping (currently under barley within an informal share-cropping arrangement) and extensive stands of natural bush and sand hills that promise bush camping with absolute privacy. The section on Ridley Road boasts ideal horse training improvements: a 2000m sandy track with an additional inside track of 1100m. Good uphill climbs add the variety and challenge necessary for solid training. A sheltered bush camp (with earth toilets) adds to the appeal of the site and would suit hosting weekend groups of people on horseback or wheels. At the end of the long boundary driveway and cresting a hill is a three-bedroom timber-framed home with decked verandas on two sides offering views to the mallee and the ranges. Split level living, dining and sitting rooms offer direct veranda access as well as entry from a three-car carport. A galley-style kitchen (with breakfast bar) serves the family area which has ceiling fans, split r/c air-conditioner and a slow combustion heater. The master bedroom has built-in robe and an en-suite bathroom with shower and w/c. Adjoining is another bedroom, previously used as a nursery, and with built-in robe. The third bedroom has - like all the bedrooms - newish carpet and ceiling fan as well as built-in robe. With direct outside access for use as a wet-room, the family bathroom/laundry has a bath and separate shower. Further updates and redecoration (all within the scope of the do-it-yourselfer) would make this home an even more delightful country retreat. Two horse paddocks and a small stable sit near the house, which is surrounded by plenty of garden space. Float and truck access is no issue at all with large flat areas and parking and turning spaces. A large machinery/hay shed with sliding doors and power connected serves the property. Rainwater storage is in three tanks with total capacity of 40,000 litres. A bore on the property (generator & pump required) provides back-up water supply and can be switched to the tanks. The current owners have installed a 6.6kW solar PV system, which has held power bills to a minimum. A newly-installed Chromagen hot water service also contributes to energy efficiency. Just over a quarter of an hour from Mannum (River) and close to Mount Pleasant, the property is within commuting reach of the Murraylands, Hills and the Barossa Valley. A school bus has a nearby pickup for both Mannum and Cambrai schools. Come for a look and a walk: this is a property that could surprise with its potential for multiple use and some income generation. • 86 acres/34.8 hectares of cropping land, bush, training track • House Built 1999, 3 bedroom (all with built-in robes), 2 bathroom home with split a/c, s/c heater, ceiling fans • split level living areas • triple carport with direct access to home • 2000m and 1100m training tracks (tracks require some recommissioning) • 66 acres to barley • two horse paddocks • bush camp • 12x6m machinery/hay shed • 6.6kW solar pv • energy efficient Chromagen hot water service • satellite NBN • rainwater storage + bore working but unequipped (Stock and domestic use) *window dressings not included *please note that the exisiting house has a non council approved extension (1/3rd of abode adjoining carport) built prior to the existing owners occupancy. * LGA Mid Murray Council
