458 Springhead Road

Mount Torrens SA 5244

Title 2 $1.1m


Tightly held for decades and now ripe for viticulture, pasture, lifestyle or equestrian use, these two high quality farming allotments on the Springhead side of Mt Torrens are for sale together or separately, each with its own dwelling.

The gently sloping land is drenched with northern sunshine and is eminently arable, with good quality alluvial soils well suited for pasture renovation or perfectly planted to vines. With reduced frost risk due to its altitude and slope, the area has good average rainfall, plus each title has a 50 megalitre transferable water licence to supplement supplies held in dams.
The homestead property of 35.44ha boasts a large and solid sandstone fronted, return veranda gentleman's villa dating from the 1930s. With high, ornate ceilings, generous room sizes and jarrah floors, the three bedroom, two bathroom home has been rewired, re-roofed and re-painted. In great condition now, the home would also readily update to a very comfortable and gracious country home.
Outbuildings include: a commodious besser brick machinery shed with high clearance, concrete floor, light, 3-phase power and double entry; a double garage with separate workshop; and a dairy with stockyard and loading ramp.
The major part of the property is currently divided into two large paddocks with three smaller sheep or holding paddocks adjacent to the home block of around 2ha/5ac. A dam provides stock water.
The second title of 31.82ha on the opposite side of Springhead Road is fenced into two paddocks and features an early settlers cottage of four rooms. Built of bluestone and with timber ceilings, the cottage could be renovated and extended as a family home, B&B or cellar door (subject to consents) but you might also consider a new build on the high point of the land to take advantage of the great views.
On this section are two bores, currently unequipped but both with adjacent power supply and recorded as giving good quality water (1000ppm), stock dam and cattleyards.
Both sections have access to town water but the total of 100 megalitres in transferable water licences, together with use of existing or new bores, offers economic long-term water supply.
Only 45 minutes from Adelaide and just outside Mount Torrens, together or separately these two allotments offer myriad prospects for an abundant future. A decent chunk of quality dirt!
