The Hahndorf Farm Barn
This extremely well-loved business, established in 1999, offers a fun, hands-on experience with an extensive range of friendly farm animals, blending uniquely a working Farmyard and a Wildlife Park. Designed so that visitors of all ages can interact with a wide variety of animals, visitors are encouraged to hold, touch and feed most of the animals in complete safety under the guidance of the experienced and professional staff. Interactive shows allow visitors to try their hand at milking a cow, as well as getting up close and personal with the lizards and pythons.
The business offers tractor & pony rides, birthday party packages, educational school excursions and vacation care visits, seniors and community group visits, and a Aussie Bush Barbeque luncheon for international groups, along with a mobile farm service taking a variety of animals to customers with a walk-in animal enclosure set up for birthday parties, schools, corporate and community groups.
It also offers a well-equipped farm shop selling an array of refreshments, a range of toys, farm books, puzzles and other mementos to help visitors remember their experience.
The number of visitors to the Hahndorf Farm Barn has grown substantially over the past 4 years under the new ownership due to the increasing popularity and growing reputation of the experience. This is the only farm-based tourism business in South Australia open to the public where visitors can experience hand-on interaction with so many farm and wildlife animals. Priding itself on the values of Fun, Respect, Professionalism, Animal Welfare and Education, the owners are continually striving to enhance the experience enjoyed by the visitors, the staff and the entire team.
Water to the property is supplied via a bore, dam and rain water stores.
Operated for the past 4 years by a family with no previous farming, agricultural or animal husbandry experience, the business has thrived and is set for an exciting future ahead. A thorough inspection of the business financials will show the strong position currently enjoyed by the business. Well suited to a family looking to enjoy a country lifestyle yet still so accessible to the city, it could suit a purchaser looking to be hands on in the business or a purchaser looking more for a management type role, where experienced staff can handle all of the day to day operations, there is even a possibility to lease out the business and just enjoy the country lifestyle!
Its a move that is sure to excite.
