Property Details for 63 Swamp Rd, Balhannah
Last Listing description (January 2021)
The 'green triangle' leading into Balhannah from Greenhill Road presents some of the most desirable grazing, viticulture and horticulture land in the Adelaide Hills, with the bonus of sweeping views over the Onkaparinga Valley and to Mount Lofty and the broader ranges. Upalong Downs' highly productive 50+ hectares (51.62 hectares or 127.55 acres) make up one of the largest holdings in the area and boasts: 11Ha of flat, irrigated hay paddocks on the Greenhill Road boundary (and another unirrigated 6Ha on sloping ground on Swamp Road); potential for a further 7Ha for hay production; great grazing amongst gullies and hills; water security from licensed bores and dams; 120-capacity cattle yard; a substantial four-bedroom residence with huge outdoor entertaining areas and established garden; and commodious machinery, vehicle and hay sheds.
An ongoing pasture renovation and maintenance program - under the expert guidance of a leading consultant agronomist - has ensured that the current owners have maximised returns over the past two or more decades. Renovation has involved: soil sampling, weed control, plantings of annual ryegrass and Hills mix (phalaris, subterranean clover, cocks foot and perennial rye) and annual fertiliser application at the recommended rate.
The property is ready for handover in excellent condition, either for the continuation of existing use as a grazing property with further potential for the development of a stud, or diversification into vines or orchards, still with scope to maintain beef production or extend into agistment or share-farming. On-farm hay production of around 150 5x4 bales is a true bonus for self-sufficiency.
The water supply is a significant asset for continued beef production or potential horticultural diversification. Six dams - three spring-fed - provide ample stock water and domestic garden needs via solar and diesel pumps to a satellite tank and pressure booster.
The property comes with a generous 62.31 megalitre water licence and has two low-salinity bores, both with 3-phase electric pumps, one mains supply and the other with a new diesel generator. There are two other bores surplus to requirements and currently not equipped. The house is amply supplied by a 150KL concrete rainwater tank, with bore water as a back-up.
Spacious and light-filled, the homestead is set behind a welcoming lawned area complete with pond. Generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple formal and family living areas and an updated kitchen make for comfortable living. An attached 7x5m paved and partially enclosed pavilion provides wonderful outdoor entertaining opportunities as well as undercover parking. Two other pergola areas add to outdoor relaxation options. If a country lifestyle - and not agribusiness - is your family's principal goal, you might live in the house and lease the land for grazing or share-farming.
Here is a rare chance to enjoy a self-sustainable, farm/agribusiness within easy reach of Adelaide and major Hills' service centres and lifestyle delights.
