289 Pyrites Road

Brukunga SA 5252

Located only a few minutes past the Nairne Football Oval Te Whare' is exactly 30 minutes from the Toll Gate, and under 10 minutes from the freeway.

The Mt Gambier Stone Homestead was built in 1935 and includes three very large bedrooms and two bathrooms plus many other notable features. For example, the 11 foot ceilings are refreshingly high and the ornate lights and parquetry floors are a reminder of yesteryear. The chandelier in the hallway certainly catches the eye and adds a quaint touch to a property that hasn't changed hands in over 80 years.

Heating and cooling is enhanced thanks to the use of an open fire, combustion heater and ducted RC/AC and the 1970's kitchen is sturdy with a stainless-steel benchtop accompanied by a comfortable living area.

Around the property you will find many improvements including excellent fences, a near new workshop (large), hay shed, implement shed, an old dairy with separate power meter and a highly functional 2 stand shearing shed with lean too.

An area renown for good pastures amongst rich rocky outcrops Te Whare' supports strong grazing capabilities for sheep and/or cattle but ultimately would support a family looking for the ultimate lifestyle whilst earning a good chunk of money on the side.

Dawesley Creek Water Use

Landholders can use water from Dawesley Creek downstream and upstream of the mine site for stock and domestic purposes without a water licence provided their land adjoins the creek.

Land holders can also use water for commercial purposes from Dawesley Creek and these users require a water licence.

There is nothing to prevent people using water from the Creek if they are entitled i.e. have a licence or are otherwise exempt from requiring a licence.
