Paris Creek SA 5201

Truly bountiful water (c100 million litres storage + licensed bore), gum studded. fertile and gently undulating grazing land (multiple well-fenced paddocks), a substantial home with water views, extensive shedding, orchard, vegetable beds, a lovely stand of native bush, deer and chicken runs, cattle yard and crush, stables, extensive woodlots ready to be felled, sweeping lawns, indoor pool and spa (currently unused, empty and covered), games room, wet bar, unlimited parking, large solar PV array with battery storage and generator backup, great rural location within easy reach of Strathalbyn and Mt Barker... the list goes on and on.

Here is a seldom-found combination of assets to stimulate your entrepreneurial vision: hospitality and functions, aquaculture, cattle fattening or agistment, livestock stud, viticulture, equestrian use or almost anything that requires water security and a great property.

You could choose any one of these income producing activities (subject to the usual consents), or - even better - manage a number of them to create a uniquely diversified portfolio on an almost drought-proof land-holding with executive-style rural living as a large bonus.

Craftsman built and extended, the home is expansive, voluminous and eminently updatable in those areas that you might wish to reflect your decoration ideas. Spread over two levels and commanding panoramic views of Paris Creek and the rising hills, it offers five bedrooms (master with walk-in robe and ensuite), spacious living and dining rooms (downstairs with open fire and s/c heater, upstairs with bar and access to a grand balcony overlooking Paris Creek and with stair access to the landscaped lawns), Vogue blackwood kitchen, wine cellar, games room with pool and spa, two family bathrooms (plus 2 extra w/cs), utility rooms, office, large ground-level covered outdoor entertaining area, 3 separate a/c systems providing ducted heating and cooling and a large garage (under main roof) with remotely operated doors.

The land is divided into ten, well fenced paddocks (all with water), with other holding paddocks and the large, landscaped home-paddock. Two timber-lined stables and tack room - with light, power and water - complement the stockyard and cattle crush, with good access to both from Paris Creek Road.

The abundance of water from multiple sources (pelicans are regular visitors!) provides great versatility and sustainability in deciding where to focus your business development on this property. Five dams hold an estimated 100 million litres and are currently near capacity (two are used for irrigation, three are feeder and stock dams); Paris Creek keeps a very large diversion in front of the house filled year-round; a quality bore with water licence and an average annual rainfall of 330mm keeps the catchment area flowing.

A large solar PV array features 24x2v battery storage and a 63amp diesel back-up generator. Mains supply includes 3-phase power.

Completing the amenity of this Paris Creek gem are machinery and implement sheds, animal shelters, numerous raised vegetable beds, netted orchard, poultry run and deer run.
